First A380 flight in Europe: March 18
Singapore Airlines currently flies both of the only two operating Airbus A380 airplanes in the world on the Sydney-Singapore route. The third plane, also purchased by Singapore Airlines, will operate on the London - Singapore route, starting March 18. This will be the first commercial flight with the world's biggest plane in Europe.
Tickets for this flight are already on sale, starting at 550GBP (approx. $1100). First class tickets have not been priced yet. The Singapore Airlines A380 has 471 seats available in three classes: 12 seats in their ultra-luxury suites (see picture), 60 seats in business class and 399 in economy.
Those luxury suites don't look too bad. I don't think I want to know how much they go for.
