End of an Era? QF ends A380 operations ex MEL 24 October 2026

Obviously no one has flown on a QF A350 yet but I have flown on them with CX,, EY, MH & LATAM.
I prefer the aircraft to the B787s. I found them quieter and more pleasant.
About 10 years ago we flew LHR-JFK on a B744. Being in economy it wasn't the most pleasant of rides. But the return trip back to the UK was on an A330. I even loved the toilet near us as it was big enough to fit a wheelchair. But the overall comfort, as I recall, was nicer.
