With the Airbus 380 Air France is trying to bring back the party to the skies. There are six bars on the plane, which encourages passengers to mingle (in their own class, of course). In the front of the upper deck, in the business section, there's even an art gallery of sorts: flat-screen TVs displaying digital previews of the New York and Paris cultural scenes, a somewhat lavish use of space. The A380s standard coach seat is as good as it's going to get in the claustrophobic calamity that is air travel. The chair is 19-in. (48 cm) wide, affording about 5% more room than on other jets on this route. There's a 8.4 in. (21 cm) video screen with about 3,000 hours of programming, (about as long an overnight flight can feel).
