I dream of flying on this plane, still have not seen it. Singapore Airlines has regular flights to Sydney and London and to Tokyo and New York before the end of the year.
'Flightmemory' has available reserved seats on the Emerates maiden flight from Dubai to New York on 2008-10-01 at only €729 one-way. One can return on a regular plane like with Air Berlin for €322 (taxes inclusive). http://www.flightmemory.com/A380.shtml
Not the 'Concorde', the A380 REDUCES costs, noise and emissions between major world hubs. The plane can also fly with 'gas' but I fear the US-Americans will not understand that?
Qantas get their first A380 delivered this year too. In 2009 follow: Air France, China Southern and Lufthansa. In 2010: Kingfisher (India), Korean Air, Thai Airways and a private delivery to the Prince Al-Walid.
