While I was checking out the info about the Crock Hunter I came across this article in an Austrailian newspaper:

THE Airbus A380, the world's largest commercial airliner, took its first passengers aloft on a test flight, as the company announced a fresh management shake-up to grapple with delays plaguing the superjumbo.
“It's fabulous, impressive,” gushed Ludovic Lesbats, one of 474 Airbus employees who volunteered for a seven-hour flight designed to test the plane's cabin arrangements.
Passengers speaking to reporters after the 6500km trip across Europe hailed the aircraft's quietness and the comfort of its interior.
“We didn't feel the take-off ... and people could move about without any discomfort,” Mr Lesbats said.
