A Superjet Takes Flight
The gigantic Airbus A380 aircraft is taking fliers to new heights! The world's largest passenger plane made its first commercial flight on October 25. The jet took off from the tiny Asian nation of Singapore. It landed seven and a half hours later, in Sydney, Australia.
This A380 has two levels and 471 seats. There are also 12 private rooms. Each has a bed, table and TV. Passenger William Leong likes the rooms' sliding doors. That way, "when I snore, it won't disturb my neighbors," he says.
