I'm a big fan of Google Street View. As someone who wants to travel every inch of the world but has only (relatively) scratched the surface so far, I find that Google Street View is a great technology to "tour" cities and places near and far. In fact, it's also a great trip planning tool:…

Actually, you can see the economy level on the Emirates a380--There is a link on the right side of the page where "E" for economy is listed above "B" for business. No climbing-the-stairs shot though....

@Aubrey: Oh! That's helpful. I tried to descend the stairs and wasn't able to do that. Guess they're trying to really enforce the class boundaries! 😉

Thank you Nick, for not finally not bringing politics into a post one time! (just kidding)

Anyway, honestly I liked this post a lot and I've known about emirates a380 and ive seen it before, but i haven't known about all these new airlines like air france and sas on google maps. I think that's pretty cool, thanks for sharing

I'm going to france over the summer, and by the looks of air france's new business class i really wanna fly them, even though i am totally disloyal to skyteam

To see every inch of the world, you realize you will eventually have to stay in non-chain hotels, non-luxury accommodations, take common-class transportation, and get by in places without a concierge and where people don't speak English, don't you?

Like to ability to see the cabins via Streetview when: I'm at a computer with a 100mb+ speed internet connection. Streetview embedded in trip reports? Forget it! I like to spent time reading the trip reports while travelling, which means on an iphone or tablet, sometimes only as a RSS feed - Having streetview embedded and being the center of the report kills the phone/tablet, not least the internet connectivity in hotels. Who doesn't recognise the slow unstable internet from 5pm til 8pm when people return from workday and have to catch on up their missed episodes of weekly soap or the missed NFL games? just saying...

@Hasse: Dude, check your internet connection. These are screencaps. Nothing is embedded.
