Air France A380 @ Heathrow

Was out at Windsor Great park this afternoon and spotted an Air France A380 take off from LHR. Wonder what it was doing in London?

Ash,
Air France are running the A380 Between CDG and LHR on certain days during the summer period. Here is the link to their site:http://www.airfrance.co.uk/GB/en/local/guidevoyageur/destination/Paris_on_Airbus_A380_from_London_heathrow.htm?

Looks like a good deal, and i have already seen some trip reports on airliners.

Regards,

Wow, what a way to use an A380. Guess they are trying to get people interested in it to encourage them to fly longer flights when more arrive.

Don't think they've been very imaginative with their interior layouts:

from what I understand , they are using these flights as an opportunity to train long-haul crew on the A380 , as for the interior layout , I think the only one they could have improved on was economy
