Cub,

If anything is certain, it is that the plane in service will pack in
all the seats possible,


While you are right in principle (remember Air France's bar in the
upper deck of early 747s?), fact is that the first 10 or 20 380s have
been ordered with a max capacity of 550, often lower. It also seems
that the first airlines to get it all work on some special interior for
the 380 which differs from their standard seating. This is definitely
the case for Singapore (who get the first), Emirates and Lufthansa
(which will probably use their standard business seat, since it is
brand new and state-of-the-art, but have something different in both
first and coach). How soon those interiors will get ripped out to get
max seating is anyone's guess.
