Eager to get a ride on the new wide-bodied Airbus A380? Air France, the first airline to offer flights on the aircraft between Europe and the United States, is auctioning 380 seats on two inaugural flights in November.

The auction will take place in October on the airline’s Web site, on a date yet to be announced. The winners will fly from Paris to New York on Nov. 20 or New York to Paris on Nov. 21—before Air France offers commercial flights on the route beginning Nov. 23. Proceeds from the auction will benefit Air France Foundation charities for children in France, India and South Africa.
This is just the opportunity for you to be able to say, “Been there, done that,” before your friends get a chance to fly on the massive aircraft.

50% less cabin noise than a 747, 50% more leg room, greater cabin air pressure, lowest CO2 emission/passenger in the industry - what's not to like?
I don't know I'll bid to be first, but I sure look forward to try it out on my next transatlantic flight!
