We’ve just made available a neat 90-second program about the interior of the 747-8 Intercontinental. It was filmed inside our remarkable new -8 sales display here in Renton.
My colleague Blake Emery, who has the unique title of Director, Differentiation Strategy, is your host on the audio/visual tour.
You might also want to revisit the 747-8 Website. We’ve refreshed this site with new imagery on the home page and a “Step Onboard the 747-8 interactive video. The video has “hotspot” links, that when you click on them, take you further inside the - including a look at the upper deck, the entry stairway, views out the windows, and an interactive peek inside the new overhead luggage spaces.
The -8 Website also has been updated with new photos and other multimedia. You might have seen some of the images recently because the new interior has gotten quite of bit of media attention in the past few weeks.
What’s coming up for the Intercontinental? Well, we’re working on a few podcasts, which promise to provide even more insight into this “dashing” new airplane.

I flew on the first Pan Am 747 flight from Heathrow to JFK, I was a Pan Am employee back then. It was an enjoyable flight as have all the others I have been. That is a beautiful airplane and has the right to be called "The Queen of the Skies". I wish Boeing and there products all the sucess in the world. And hopefully beore I leave this world I will get to fly on the 787.

I want to thank you and all Boeing team for the development of the 747-8i. I hope some day in a not long future be one of the clients for it. The position of windows make it a panoramic aircraft as the A380 would make me feel claustrophibic. The 747-8 is a true airplane.

I have seen that some airlines will operate their A380s with a little less than 500 seats (that is more or less 10% less seats than the standard configuration for 555 seats in 3 classes). If the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental customers decide to operate their airliners with 10%% less seats, that would be something like with 400 seats, then could you compare the perfomance of both airliners (B747-8 Interc. and A380) working under the same reduction in the number of seats? Could you give some figures on maintenance costs, fuel costs (per seat-kilometer)in long-haul rutes (for example Sydney-New York), etc.? I have the feeling that at the end of the day would be much better to operate a B747-8 with 400 seats instead a A380-800 with 500.
