A practical point to consider with this 500+ seat monster: with current jetways it takes about 30 minutes to load a 120-seat 737. And most people get to the airport up to two hours early for their flight.
You do the math. Ready to make a day of it? I haven’t even mentioned the time and organization involved in getting off this beast.
The future of air travel is small, not jumbo. Airbus (as befits a government-controlled, union-strangled, tin-ear dinosaur) is making a massive, misguided bet. May they reap what they’ve sown.
