I was on a Qantas A380 YSSY-KLAX when it was only three weeks old!  The captain let me up in the cockpit when we landed in LAX.  It was amazing.

It was not an A388, but I had been in United 772ER Cockpit (IAD [I was even allowed to sit on the pilots chair, and take the joystick :) ]), Continental Express EMB145 (EWR), Continenetal B764 (CDG; after coming from EWR) ...
I don't think the pilots care a lot... also it was always AFTER landing, when the tanks are (quite) empty, and the engines switched off...

I Europe it is allowed to do so, after landing, and I assume [from what I could do] that it's the same in US...

yeah, I believe that the 787 might be the winning aircraft when it comes to usefulness. After all, its' pretty much going into the market where 757's, 767's, A330's and A340's are already flying but can offer cheaper operations and better Customer satisfaction levels.

The A380 I wouldn't rule out however as everyone initially believed the 747 would be a failure and yet it is now (I think) the 2nd most produced airliner in history (after the 737)

Great work with the site Matt Dell. I like the feature where you can see the routes of the A380 so easily.

From my knowledge its this order:

B737 (Classics, Norman, and NG)
A320 family
B747

Nice updates since I last looked! 8)

I like the addition of future airlines with details.
