Later this year we'll be getting service on the new 787 Dreamliner in the form of an Atlanta - Doha route on Qatar Airways.

I know the A380 is BIG, but the 787 is more exciting to me honestly.

- It has fewer passengers and is designed to make direct point-to-point routes across the globe more feasible (A380 has much shorter range).
- It has bigger windows and operates at a higher internal cabin pressure, so it should be more comfortable.
- It is more fuel efficient that just about any commercial planes out there today.

Don't get me wrong--I'm definitely excited to see a gargantuan Korean Air A380 taking off out of ATL too!
