This is why the newest addition to the airplane family forebodes well for those international flyers who brave crowded, cramped seats and get even more tired by having to make multiple stops for refueling and plane changes.

InFocus was invited to see the "behemoth" A380, the largest passenger airliner in the world, which made its second test flight to LAX on Nov. 28, 2007.

The A380 is a double-deck, four-engine airliner manufactured by the European corporation Airbus.

Singapore Airlines was the first airline to use it as commercial Super-Jumbo on its flight from Singapore to Sydney, Australia, in October 2007.

Some passengers on that inaugural flight reportedly purchased tickets for more than $100,000 on eBay.

The SuperJumbo A380-800 has a design range of 15,200 kilometers, sufficient to fly from New York to Hong Kong, for example. It has 50 percent more floor space than the next largest airliner, the Boeing 747-400.

In standard three-class configuration, it seats 525 people, or up to 853 people in full economy class configuration.

The roomy, first-class seats can be laid all the way down into a nice, small bed, and business class seats also open into "cocoon-style beds" that lie flat. They also include ergonomically designed cushions, and business passengers have their own lounge with a self-service bar and sofas to relax on.

But most of us who will travel on economy class can look forward to wireless Internet access at each seat and in-flight entertainment to include 100 movies, 500 audio CDs and Lonely Planet destination guides, which are provided to all classes.

As for the plane itself – the space is bigger than any other airplane you can imagine.

The A380 definitely lives up to the name Super-jumbo.
