The highly advanced air filters recycle cabin air every two minutes, continually renewing and humidifying it to give you the cleanest most refreshing breaths you can have at a cruising altitude of 40,000 ft (12 km). The air is also pressurized to the equivalent of being at a lower altitude than most aircraft. *** Follow me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for a daily moment of travel inspiration ***Īir quality on board the A380 is better than on most other aircraft.

Since the A380 completed its first (test) flight almost 15 years ago, over 120 million passengers have experienced the aircraft, and they keep coming back. I am even willing to go the extra mile to fly on it instead of any other aircraft.
