This is probably a separate topic (feel free to move it), but I wonder how many airlines have the 787 *and* Airbus A380-800. I read somewhere that Korean Air purchased the 787 for a 2016 delivery.

I saw their A380 in person last week. It is freaking huge! :o :o :o

59 airlines have ordered ~1,100 787s with ~320 delivered, and 17 airlines have ordered ~317 A380s with ~169 delivered.... Not really a good comparison, the 747 is more like an A380 and the new A350 is more like a 787. Air France, Asiana, British Air, China Southern, Etihad, Korean Air, Lufthansa, Malaysia, Qantas, Qatar, Singapore, and Thai Airways are flying both 787s and A380s.

My dear wife flew from London Heathrow to San Francisco last week in Business Class on a British Air A380. I asked her which level she was on and she said "Huh, what do you mean level.... was there more than one?"
