We will be flying over from Australia in a couple of weeks time, and always fly the Qantas A380. Its a great plane to sit in, but obviously not to fly close too ....
There are 2 engine versions Pratt and Witney or Rolls Royce. Because of the runway length at Melbourne only the more powerful Rolls Royce fly out. Even so its a bit disconcerting, I'm never sure if we are taxying or taking off, which always seems to happen in the last 50 metres of runway. After 21 hours travel time I'm glad to get off......
