New Airbus A380
I think Singapore Airlines bought a few - but does anyone know which other airlines is acquiring the new swanky Airbus A380 planes? .....Can't wait to fly on one!

flying cattle car.
Quantas and Virgin Atlantic also bought some, but there are so many delays in delivering them, they just may cancel and go with 747's.
Don't be fooled into thinking all the accommodations will be first class. "Steerage" will be the majority of the seating, crammed in there like an animal.

I believe EADS (Airbus) has received 147 orders for the 380's as of this week. Singapore, Thai, Emirates, BA are among the largest. Wikipedia has a list:

There's actually an added cost in ordering the A380.
Not only do you have to shell out 100s of millions to buy them. You also have to rebuild your airports' infrastructure to accomodate the larger plane. Ouch, that can get expensive.
