The innovations aren't reserved just for premium customers. All classes offer an in-flight entertainment system that offers language courses and office software, besides regular movies and television channels. There is more leg room too, even in economy.

The A380's inaugural commercial flight is set for October 25 from Singapore to Sydney. Singapore Airlines has auctioned all seats on the first flight on eBay, raising about $1.25 million for charity.
