President Zardari Urges Need for Operation of Airbus A380 Flights Between UAE and Pakistan

Definitely better than QR Dreamliner. I traveled a medium haul 5h two times on EK A380 - didnt get this feeling. However on QR Dreamliners, one can actually get feeling of sitting on a plane of LCC.

Fair enough, I haven't travelled on QR's Dreamliner so can't comment but the experience in EK A380 was considerably worse compared to the QR A350s.

The seats in the 2-class A380 are no different than all the other A380s. What are you talking about?

I thought so too, but apparently not. On my return flight when I got the 2-class layout, the seats felt noticeably narrower in width and tighter in legroom, despite being in the same seat on both legs. Asked the crew and they told me the seats are both narrower and have a little less legroom. Later on, I checked Seatguru and it confirmed the same - their legroom for both aircraft is a rough estimate b/w 32-34 inches so not helpful, but they quote 0.5 inches less width for the 2-class, which sounds minimal but definitely felt considerably worse.

Ah yes, blame others but not ourselves. It was the Middle eastern airlines that brought the downfall on PIA. Must of been an middle eastern CEO of PIA that brought it to its knees.

We need the A380 to Pakistan, brings more consumer benefits to the country, allows to open up the market further and brings better competition. A white rose for PIA now, it was dismantled by a few incompetent Pakistanis after all.

The blame game and pointing at others needs to stop, point fingers internally and admit to the mistakes made. PIA and the Pakistani aviation sector would never be in a position it is in today had competency prevailed.

It is a sad state of affairs.
