The Verdict: Best Airlines to Fly in an Airbus A380

First Class Winner: Emirates
From prices to perks, we think the Emirates Airbus A380 has the very best first class. Apart from Bulgary amenities, we really love the idea of a shower room and the lounge, which are a big deal if you are flying long haul. Malaysia Airlines comes second, with the largest pitch and very few seats, promising great service and privacy. Singapore Airlines comes third, thanks to the dream team of collaborations with luxury brands (Givenchy, Ferragamo, Bose) and top chefs (Gordon Ramsay and George Blanc).

Business Class Winner: THAI
When it comes to business class, Singapore and Emirates’ smaller pitch widths are a letdown. THAI wins in this category thanks to large pitch and fewer seats, which means better-quality service.

Economy Class Winner: Emirates
THAI has the most passengers in Economy class—which means one big cattle-class zoo and not enough air hostesses to feed the livestock. Singapore Airlines and Emirates are pretty equivalent in eco, but we’re giving Emirates the top spot again as it has more destinations flying with the A380.
