Default All Economy 840 pax A380: Air Austral

Airline Route Updates website (http://airlineroute.blogspot.com/) reports that Air Austral are getting two A380s configured to all economy to seat 840 pax and fly between Paris and St Denis de la Reunion.

Imagine boarding times (even with two aerobridges) and customs for that! Or is customs not required as St Denis de la Reunion is a French territory?

Hard to imagine a plane with 840 pax on it, just awesome.

Thats true, but who builds a plane in the expectation it will crash?

I suppose if it happens it happens and until then we consider ourselves lucky it hasn't.

FWIW I flew a 747-300 for one of the French tour companies (not sure which one now ... AOL ?) and it had all but a few rows at the front set up for economy. I think we carried about 570 people.
