Travelers should have plenty of legroom when British Airways  becomes the first UK carrier to fly the world's biggest passenger plane.

BA is due to take delivery of the first of its Airbus A380 super-jumbos in July 2013 as part of a £5 billion, five-year programme of investments.

Today, the airline announced that its double-decker A380s will fly with 469 passengers - fewer than the number operated by some other super-jumbo airlines.

BA has ordered 12 of the A380s whose wings are made in the UK and which first entered service in 2007 with Singapore Airlines.

On BA's super-jumbos there will be 14 seats in first class on the main deck which will also have 44 club world (business class) seats as well as 199 seats in world traveller (economy).
