Seven carriers
In October, China Southern Airlines' first Airbus A380 made its maiden voyage from Beijing to Guangzhou, about 100 miles northwest of Hong Kong, becoming the first carrier to fly the superjumbo jet in China.
The Asian carrier becomes the seventh airline worldwide to fly the A380 commercially. Others that operate the plane are Korean Air, Lufthansa, Air France, Emirates, Qantas Airways and Singapore Airlines. How does China Southern compare with the rest? Here's a look. -- Jason La Pictured, clockwise from top left: China Southern Airlines, Korean Air, Qantas Airways, Air France, Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa and Emirates. |

I remember working at a company, Philips-Airvision, where a lot of the material you see was on the drawing boards about twenty-years ago. We were already planning out and delivering LCD in-flight entertainment systems (the LCD displays were $6k/ each for a 4" screen) and options such as "Duty-Free" shopping and telecommunicatrions.
The company was eventually acquired by B/E Electronics or Hughes Avicom.

I like the Singapore Airline's First Class "Mile-High Club" Rooms.
