Hello All,

I've been visiting the forum for a few years now, finally decided to sign up.

I just was curious on any information regarding an A380 Visit to SFO.

It seemed kind of weird to me that SFO did not get a visit, as it was one of the first A380 ready airports in the USA.

Does anyone else have any info?

^ There is a press release by the aiport from Mid 2004.

some of the key points:
· 168 common use check-in counters, space that can be adjusted based on load
factors.
· 100 percent electronic in-line baggage screening, which makes screening more
efficient.
· Oversized baggage carousels, with two more that could be put into use
· Up to five A380 ready gates
· Every gate equipped with two loading bridges
· Immigration capacity of 5,000 arriving passengers per hour.
· Ample and comfortable seating at the gate areas
· State of the art baggage screening technology.



It really seems werid to me that with all of these new features put in place at SFO, that there was no test flight there.

anyone have any ideas?

There should be some fellow A.netters out there to give you answers. I'm not one of them, but welcome to the forum!
