The Airbus A380, the world’s first "superjumbo", is a plane nervous flyers will love. Capable of seating up to 800 passengers, Airbus promises state-of-the-art safety and stability features. The A380’s maximum cruising altitude of 43 000 feet means it can fly above most other air traffic, as well as most turbulence-causing weather systems, thus ensuring a smoother flight.
