    Just seen this on Google Maps. (You will need the Google Earth plugin to view it.)

    I wonder did MOL pay for this, given that its sitting on top of an Aer Lingus A330.

    They only bothered 3D modelling one plane. It being at a gate that had an EI 330 when the last aerial was taken is coincidental I'd expect

    You can see the 3D is much older than the aerial, e.g. look at Pier C / T2...

    It looks to me that the reg is EI-COA, a Ryanair 737. My guess is that the picture got a little distorted, making the plane look like it's got a bubble on top.

    It wasn't the bubble that caught my eye, it was the 4 engines :)

    How many could O'Leary pack into an A380? The mind boggles.

    Its feasible that he can have a large section of the plane turned round in 20 minutes so he can sell priority boarding and exit for people. Whilst those on priority boarding wait for all the others he can sell them over priced booze and scratch-cards. Ryanair bottom line is to make money anyway possible. If it was economically viable for Ryanair to have A380's or 747's on any route or even as a floating plane for traffic surges on routes it would be done.

    I read on a singapore airlines flight that A380 can carry over 800 passengers if it was configured for max capacity rather than class tiers.
