Also seen on wikipedia :
Destinations served by Air France's A380s are New York-JFK, Johannesburg and Tokyo, with future destinations planned to Montreal, Washington D.C and Mexico City.

Hi !
It's nice to see a SriLankan report online . Don't see much online !
I liked your SQ380 , Air France and CDG roof pics !

Very nice! UL looks like a pretty decent airline !

I like the proper wine glasses in economy.

Thanks for the report - and feel sorry for your delays in CDG!!

Nice! A trip report of my home airline!! The pictures show a pretty decent cabin, and amount of food selection, contrary to reviews given of UL... Hopefully the newer planes and fitting of new J flatbed seats and IFE next year will give them a new edge!
