Making a Bid to Fly on the A380

From Arlene Fleming, About.com GuideAugust 14, 2007

Singapore Airlines is the first airline scheduled to fly the Airbus A380. This new class of super-sized aircraft is set to hit the skies sometime in October. With the A380, it is so large that only a few runways in the world are truly capable of handling it. The testing is complete, and now the first of the A380 line is just about set to jet.

Singapore Airlines is doing something pretty unique to launch this airplane. Potential first passengers will be able to bid in an online auction (Ebay) for a chance to fly on the A380's first scheduled flight. And, the proceeds from this first flight are being given to charity.
