As Asiana Airlines gears up to operate the double decks Airbus A380 aircraft, the airline has released some pretty pictures of the product.
First up is First Class… which in some respects looks like an Underground train with the entryways into the suites (with a two door sliding soultion, a 32″ screen, in a 1-2-1 configuration on the lower deck of the plane

Meanwhile in Business Class… or Business Smartium seat, staggered seats are the name of the game, with direct access to the aisle with all seats in a 2-2-2 formation, with a full flat seat. These will be on the upper deck of the A380.
Meanwhile Travel Class (or economy) looks a slimline seat with an 11’1″ screen installed, with seats on both the Upper and Lower decks
Seating configuration is finalised as:
- 12 First Class Seats on the lower deck (1-2-1)
- 66 Business Class Seats on the upper deck (2-2-2)
- 106 Economy Class seats on the upper deck (2-4-2), 311 on the lower deck (3-4-3)

Asiana Airlines will operate the A380 on regional routes from Seoul and:
