The A380 might be too quiet for me & few BA Club World pix
I just had my first A380 experience. I just flew on BA’s A380 in club world and I think I got about 90 minutes of sleep. Why? Because the plane is so flipping quiet that all I could hear were other people snoring, lol. Usually, when I’m at home I sleep with a fan on. I love the white noise, and that is PERFECT on an airplane because the humming is normally so soothing to me. BUT THIS BIG BIRD was so quiet, and there was a caucaphony of sleep apnea victims that I think the A380 might be too quiet for me. I know…real problems.
I’m flying Lufthansa’s A380 back to the states so we shall see if I have a similar experience as I’ll be on the window. I know…this is probably music to most people’s ears…but my ears need white noise. But, man! This plane is QUIET and SMOOTH.
Here’s a few quick pics – Review to come
Funny, I feel exactly the same about the 380. Its a great airplane in every sense, but I am also a big fan of white noise (even at home) and its just distressing that you can hear everything on the top deck of the 380 – from people snoring and chatting to the flush on the toilets. Phones and earplugs to the rescue!
my first lufthansa 1st class trip was me and 7 german snoring guys!!! what a nite the FA felt bad for me and came and talked to me alot but NO SLEEP to be had.. they were very loud snorers or the plane wasvery quiet???
hahaha – sounds like my flight on BA. It was like a snoring symphony
