How to Decorate for Thanksgiving: Expert Ideas from Home Interior Design Services in Boston, MA

Thanksgiving is a time to gather together loved ones, enjoy a feast of meals, and reflect on our blessings. But it's also an opportunity to make your home warm and inviting, making the holiday all the more special. Thanksgiving decorations add magic to any celebration, be it a big family dinner or a small, private one. The following are some of the best home décor ideas from Home Interior Design Services Boston, MA, which will help you in creating a memorable holiday look if you are living in Boston and looking forward to professionals advising how to create the perfect Thanksgiving mood.

Add Natural Elements and Textures One of the easiest, yet effective, ways to bring this beauty of Thanksgiving into your home is through the use of natural elements for decoration. Rustic details, along with woven baskets and wood accents, all add to the organic and earthy tone. In throw pillows, blankets, and table settings, many Boston, Massachusetts, home interior design companies recommend natural textures such as jute, linen, or wool. These elements put together create a warm, cozy autumnal feel that is seasonal yet natural. You can also use trays made of wood for a most rustic, natural appearance, or take some dried leaves or acorns and arrange them in ornamental bowls. Make Your Entrance Inviting Your front entrance will be the first thing your guests will notice when they come over for Thanksgiving, and yes, first impressions do count. What the other parts of your home will need to continue with is a beautiful entrance reflecting the beauty of the season. Think of crafting a wreath for any combination of berries, autumn leaves, or seasonal flowers. Give your guests a warm welcome with the addition of rustic welcome signs, lanterns, and seasonal pumpkins on the porch. If you have a garden, create magic by setting up seasonal flowers and plants in colored pots to add that festive feel that ups the spirit of Thanksgiving. Layering and Lighting Thanksgiving decoration is hugely effective in layering. Mixing various types of textiles and textures adds depth and character to a room. Throws and cushions, as well as placemats and tablecloths piled together, give a room a lived-in feel. But above all, nonetheless, perfect atmosphere and accord are both given to the lighting. Use candles with soft light from floor lamps or hanging lamps to create a mood. If your house has a fireplace, then it is a perfect holiday focal point since it brings warmth and calmness to the room. Ambient lighting creates a nice, warm, and comfortable atmosphere for professional Boston firms to show in the designing of home interiors.

Make It Yours With A Personal Touch Thanksgiving is the time for reflections and family; adding a personal touch to your decoration makes the space more meaningful. Add family pictures, heirloom pieces, or items that show your certain taste to make the space undeniably yours. Let handmade ornaments from your children or heirlooms from the family add warmth. A place card or a custom napkin ring at each table setting is one of the personal touches that will make the table look beautiful and make each guest feel special. Conclusion The essence of decoration on Thanksgiving is that it should make the area friendly for your family to get together and have yummy food while having a lot of fun. Welcoming in the colors of fall into your home, beautiful centrepieces, organic textures, and distinctive accents turn your home into a retreat during holidays. Let your home be chic yet warm and friendly to welcome the holidays through services such as Boston Interiors Design Services. Thoughtful décor will set the tone for a memorable Thanksgiving, whether they host a traditional Thanksgiving dinner or make the occasion their own.

Lost Chicago Building 2 - The Masonic Temple

Masonic Temple, State and Randolph Streets, Chicago, photograph c.1895-1915, J.W. Taylor, Chicago. Ryerson and Burnham Archives. Marshall Field & Co. is on the right.

Burnham and Root’s Masonic Temple, 1892, whose life span was only 47 years, was for a time the highest building in the world, and a popular and much-illustrated landmark. It stood at the northwest corner of State and Randolph Streets until its destruction in 1939. The building has been extensively documented and written about elsewhere, so I will limit my own comments, and post some illustrations that I haven’t seen on other blogs or history sites.

Unless otherwise noted, all illustrations are from the Ryerson and Burnham Archives, Art Institute of Chicago, available online at http://www.artic.edu/research/archival-collections.

Interior views, Masonic Temple, from The Inland Architect and News Record.

Some colorful descriptions of the building soon after its construction were included in a Chicago Reader article:

Of his first day in Chicago [poet Edgar Lee Masters] remembers that he especially wanted to visit "the tallest building in the world, from the top of which, according to an old Polonius in Lewistown, one could see Council Bluffs, Iowa. I had to try that out, and Uncle Henry took me to the Masonic Temple."

From the mosaic floor of its marble lobby to gabled roofs and glass-domed gardens, the Masonic Temple at the northeast corner of State and Randolph stood 302 feet tall. It was, according to Henry Justin Smith, a managing editor for the old Chicago Daily News, "a wonder of wonders. Everything about the building made the city burst with pride, and gave country visitors kinks in their necks."[1]

The building, by the architectural firm of Burnham and Root of Chicago (Daniel Hudson Burnham 1846-1912 and John Wellborn Root 1850-1891), was Root’s design, as was the firm’s earlier Rookery building, which still stands.

According to architect Louis Sullivan, the term “skyscraper” was born with the Masonic Temple. 22 stories high, the Temple rose 300 feet to the apex of its steeply-pitched roof. The original cost of the building was $3.5 million. Inside, an immense atrium, designed to be a vertical shopping center, was surmounted by a metal and glass canopy.  The building was unique both in its height and its concentration of business and mercantile uses.

Atrium, Masonic Temple

The Temple’s exterior design was described at the time as Romanesque; Root had admired the architecture of H.H. Richardson, whose Romanesque style had swept the country in the 1880s.

Its exterior walls were of gray granite and yellow pressed brick. It had a distinct tripartite arrangement, that being a clearly defined base, middle section, and celebratory top; with the Temple architect Root took this concept to its ultimate conclusion, perhaps the best example anywhere. In between top and bottom were the clean and unbroken piers that allowed the building to leap into the sky; their upward force was exhilarating. Each of two massive gables, stretching east-to-west, were punctured with a rank of seven smaller gables. Topside decoration was profuse.[2]

Wrote Thomas Talmadge:

I think that he strove here … to achieve a 'commercial style' based on the Romanesque that might be generally accepted as a formula for the expression of the skyscraper, and he might have prevailed had not the World's Fair almost immediately knocked the hopes of the Romantics into a cocked hat.[3]

Root died of pneumonia in 1891 at the age of 41, as the firm was planning the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago and before his Masonic Temple was completed.

Architect Philip Johnson, when designing a building on LaSalle Street across from Burnham and Root’s Rookery building in 1984, had remarked snidely,

"We're very proud that our building will be better than the Rookery," said Johnson. "Root wasn't feeling very well when he did that one. His Masonic Temple was a much better building."[4]

Geoffrey Johnson claims that “Johnson's enthusiasm for the Masonic is apparent in his firm's design for 190 South LaSalle,”[5] the tall building’s roof line echoing the twin gables and pitched roof of the Masonic Temple.[6]

  After its destruction, the Masonic Temple was replaced by a nondescript two-story building on the same site, which still exists in altered form:

Ironically, there was a Walgreens occupying the same corner in the Masonic Temple building. The more things change....

The Joffrey Center tower, Booth Hansen Architects, 2008, with 2-story Walgreens on the corner, occupies the site today.

The Dime in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY

Apr 30, 2021

The Dime: Architecture & Interior Design By Fogarty Finger

Design: Fogarty Finger

Brooklyn, NY – Located in South Williamsburg, just off of the Williamsburg Bridge when one crosses from Manhattan, The Dime is a new, 23-story terracotta and glass building architecturally linked to the landmarked 1908 Dime Savings Bank and designed by Fogarty Finger.

With its cohesive design language across its architecture and interiors of its multi-use areas—encompassing offices, retail and rental apartments—the building is an exciting debut, elevating the standards for buildings of similar use in the city. The 345,000 square foot mixed-use building encompasses 177 residential units, 105,000 square feet of office space, as well as 50,000 square feet of retail space.

The façade is composed of terracotta panels that reference the historic bank structure’s regal columns alongside glass with black mullions. The building’s rounded corners, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and striking height distinguish it from the surrounding neighborhood and present unobstructed views of both Manhattan and Brooklyn.

The structure’s curved corners provide a visual link connecting the different facades of the building, as well as providing aesthetic interest. The lower floors pinwheel off the central tower, each connecting to the four streets of the block. Bordering South 5th Street, the residential lobby and commercial lobby sit next to each other. The residential entrance is surrounded by terracotta panels with bronze highlights and juts out to the street-line. The commercial entrance, which is pulled back, features black steel and metal with a revolving door. Overhead, an elongated canopy connects the two entrances.

Inside the commercial lobby, a concrete wall is outfitted with a stained-glass and metal work by the artist Tom Fruin that has its starting point in found detritus of New York City. Fruin is well known for his stained-glass works throughout the borough including his iconic stained-glass New York water towers.

Opposite this wall is a dark scalloped wood wall that leads you to the elevator lobby; that wood is repeated at the reception desk. Similar to the new building’s façade, the scalloping references the columns of the historic bank structure in form and texture. The air-conditioning units and sprinklers are hidden in grills along the side wall, allowing the ceiling to have a clean, uncomplicated look. Underfoot is a polished concrete floor. The offices, which are housed on floors two through five, each feature massive outdoor terraces.

The residential lobby honors the exterior through its extension of the terracotta curvature seen in its scalloped walls which feature carved-out bookshelves. Minimalist, elegant furnishings, soft lighting, and a work by the artist Swoon—who also completed a mural on the building’s façade—combine to create a welcoming, fresh, and warm environment. The mail room on the first floor features a playful nod to the original bank with its coin crest pattern wall covering.

The building’s fifth floor houses an array of amenities, including an expansive terrace, a community garden, yoga studio, fitness center, two lounge areas, and a half basketball court featuring a graphic guilloche-patterned wall covering that borrows from currency—another bank reference. The south lounge is a co-working space and looks out onto lush gardens framing a great lawn, while the north lounge employs a bar concept.

Another amenity space is on the 22nd floor, the penthouse level, where a vintage-style speakeasy lounge looks out over the city. The interiors take inspiration from the iconic Havemeyer family, who collected art and enriched the architectural and cultural life of Brooklyn and beyond. The palette of the lounge—in rich and dark tones—pulls from the family’s artwork collection now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Custom millwork lines the walls, while warm library lighting and artworks accentuate the space, which directly connects to an outdoor terrace.

Apartments are comprised of studio through three-bedroom units, crowned by two striking penthouses. Penthouses and select residences feature expansive private terraces. Curved, picture-height windows afford incredible views of the surrounding city and fill the apartments with light.

Dilan Ulusoy

Name: Dilan Ulusoy

Date of Birth: April 5th, 1992

Age: 29

Gender/Pronouns: Cis woman / She / Her

Occupation: Architect

Hometown: Manhattan, New York

Length of time in King’s Head Harbor: 1 month

Faceclaim: Hande Erçel

BIOGRAPHY (Trigger Warning: None)

At 2:15am Dilan arrived into the world, just minutes before her twin brother Demir and a couple years after their older sibling, announcing her new presence through loud cries that her father sometimes likes to joke the whole block the hospital was on could hear. While the twins had been a surprise for a couple reasons, both in the fact that their parents hadn’t exactly been trying at the time, plus finding out there’d be two new additions. That certainly didn’t hinder on the happiness that came in the expansion of their little family. Born to Hakan and Elif Ulusoy; her father originally hailing from Istanbul, Turkey, where their last name in known widely, throughout the country itself, thanks to her grandfather’s empire of various business ventures. Hakan decided to come to the states in pursuance of medical school, now currently a renowned plastic surgeon specializing in cosmetic and emergency practice. While her mother Elif, came from more humble beginnings, whose parents immigrated to Queens from Bursa for a new start and chance at better opportunities. The woman serving as Chief Physicist in a lab just outside of the city.

Safe to say thanks to her parents careers Dilan and her siblings, which eventually also included a younger one to round off six, never went without. Though were always also instilled with the lesson of being grateful for everything they’d been fortunate enough to have. While traditional values weren’t inherently seeped into their home, her parents still made sure to surround their children with the culture they derived from. And in truth, growing up in a life surrounded by luxury was something that so much appealed to her, more so as she got older. Of course it’d be a lie to say it hadn’t come with plenty of benefits, but unlike her peers, her life didn’t revolve around exclusivity and material possessions. The downside however, was her parents schedules keeping them both incredibly busy, they tried to be around as much as possible, but a good portion of the time the children were raised by a nanny. To a small degree as a child, it disappointed Dilan especially on days she’d come home from grade school particularly excited to tell them about a painting she made or what they did. But glad at least to have her siblings around, especially her twin who was also her best friend.

Growing up she was a very curious and precocious child, after all being raised in a place like New York City there was plenty surrounding her to be intrigued by, every week it seemed she found something new to preoccupy her mind with. Whether it was watching and wanting to learn from the chef her parents hired a few times a week, the various paintings collected that hung around the walls of their home making her interested in art. Or the small library in her father’s office, while filled mainly with medical books, still contained a wealth of knowledge. Excelled academically, more so in areas such as math, science and art, after all, she and her siblings were also raised on the ideal to strive for their best and fullest potential. Socially; the more outwardly laid back demeanor she kept to made it easy for others to flock towards her and form friendships. Wouldn’t have called herself anywhere close to ‘It Girl’ but typically was seen in school running with a circle of what most would call a high form of popularity. She also had quick wit that got her scolded by many teachers she challenged and very rarely into fights. Like a viper ready to strike, mainly verbally yet when the situation truly called for it she wouldn’t be opposed to using her hands, especially if it was in defense of anyone she considered close.

High school also became a time of exploration within herself, in terms of her sexuality, finding that she had a growing attraction to other girls in school. A confusing time of figuring out whether it was simply a physical allure, or something felt deeper, and come her junior year it became very clear that it was the latter. With a mixture of anxiousness and wanting to just rip the band-aid off, she casually came out to her family one night during dinner while they were having their ‘weekly roundup’ talking about the highs and lows and what happened, that her father mandated as a way to keep close and spend more time together. It was definitely an unexpected ‘bomb drop’, so to speak, and after a moment she was met with mixed reactions, her siblings being the most supportive, while Hakan a bit befuddled still expressed he loved her all the same. Elif however, took a bit more time before openly acknowledging Dilan’s bisexuality. Not that she was completely against it, but being raised with the idea that it was taboo kept the woman at an impasse. Thanks to the help of her family and making an effort to learn about the community, the two of them were able to talk and Elif has since been more widely accepting.

Graduated at the top of her class, with quite a few options for university at her disposal, she ended up selecting MIT almost as soon as they granted her acceptance, majoring in Architecture. Another upside to coming from a place like New York, was the various different buildings and structures that littered the city, some having her in awe from a design and engineering standpoint. And why her move to Boston also went fairly smooth, the only adjustment she needed to get used to was not having her family around as much, though having independent qualities certainly helped to ease things and luckily just a 5 hour drive or 1 hour flight away. Worked tirelessly to ensure she kept her streak of academic excellence, even putting together a thesis that technically hadn’t been required of undergraduates. Obtained her Bachelor of Science and despite receiving a job offer from her current internship, Dilan set her sights abroad deciding instead to gain even more experience with an acclaimed firm in Paris. So soon enough, she found herself packing up and bound for the city of lights.

Far more of a change and culture shock than her initial move, but nevertheless steadily acclimated to Parisian life, more so focusing on the reason she’d gone in the first place, designing beautiful structures and securing a name for herself in the industry. Though leave it to a place that boasted a synonymousness nature with romance to somehow ensnare the girl who wasn’t the type to fall so easily. A whirlwind of passion that burned brightly, with a man named Alessandro, who painted a realm of possibilities together that she hadn’t ever envisioned before, and would for the next couple years ahead. At least until her parents growing disdain for the relationship began to dampen things, as much as she held firm on the love she knew, eventually doubt seeped deep enough to cloud her judgement, eventually winning. One day an abrupt decision had Dilan on a train back to New York and heartbreak left in the wake.

After settling in her home city once again, she took a bit of time to pull herself from a state of sadness before returning to work, this time as an independent, curating a loyal group of clientele while planning to open up her own firm. Something that was made possible sooner thanks to a friend of her family, who’d been in a career of real estate development. Investing in more of a relaxed partner capacity, allowing her to take much of the reigns as head architect and interior designer, dubbing the firm Nazlı Design, taken from her middle name. With a small group of upcoming and seasoned professionals on board they were able to grow from residential to commercial architecture as well, and becoming award winning within the last year. Thus why she finds herself in King’s Head Harbor now and for the past month, working on a project and has enjoyed her time in town enough to buy a home and contemplate expanding another office nearby.

Discovering the Behind-the-Scenes Secrets of Boston's Best Interior Designers

Interior designers in the country, one of whom is being seen in Boston; the city known as very creative and historic, are responsible for crafting spaces both trendy today and timeless by giving a modern touch to this rich heritage of the city. What is special about them? Let's find out what the trade secrets that make these Best Interior Designers in Boston so special are.

Embracing Boston's Unique Architectural Heritage Boston's finest interior designers have a deep appreciation for the architecture history of the city. The job of restoring an old place is quite tricky, but these designers successfully perform this job with a very high degree of expertise without compromising the charm inherent in the old spaces. A good number of them start off as thorough historians, understanding the original characteristics of a given structure, and then artfully combine contemporary components with that space, in tune with the prevailing architecture rather than in their way. Whether it is a colonial in Beacon Hill or a brownstone in Back Bay, they understand the proper way to honor the past while working on functional spaces for today.

Mastering the Art of Functionality and Aesthetics Greater Boston's top designers know how to put functionality first without losing oomph in a city where the space is often confined. Multifunctional furniture, inventive storage ideas, and sensitive space planning can be used to create an atmosphere of opulence and expansiveness even in the smallest quarters. These home designers are keenly aware that a Boston home needs to be both elegant and functional, both strong enough to endure New England's ferocious winters and withering summer heat without sacrificing its effortless chic.

Focusing on Local Artisans and Craftspeople One of the best-kept secrets in Boston interior design is its small, tight-knit community of regional craftsmen and artisans. Masters are in contact with a much wider group of talented folks who are seeking special pieces that make a project distinctive and personalized. The results are some pretty remarkable interiors that shine with real city creativity-from Somerville artists building custom fixtures to bespoke South Boston furniture created in family workshops.

Sustainable and Green Design Boston's top interior designers believe in sustainable development at the center of what they do. Sustainable design ideas, energy-efficient equipment, and environmental materials stand at the core of prioritized considerations for these companies. Many of them possess LEED certifications and know the most recent emerging green technologies. They symbolize all elements of the environmental design movement-from using reclaimed wood from New England historic barns to the smart home technologies that cut back on energy use.

Balancing Traditional and Contemporary Elements The secret sauce of Boston's finest interior designers, however, lies in their ability to craft the perfect balance between the historic and contemporary design elements. They do not raise a single eyebrow if abstract art is displayed in a room full of traditional New England architecture elements or when mixing a sleek, modern sofa with elaborate Victorian moldings. This juxtaposition of old and new, of traditional and modern, yields lively and interesting spaces imbued with historic roots yet forward-thinking. Conclusion The Interior Design Services Boston have an intense awareness and understanding of the city's unique character; this is one of the trade secrets. They embrace sustainability, value functionality over aesthetics, use local talent, skillfully combine historical preservation with current innovation, and strike a balance between traditional and modern components diligently. Apart from the beautiful creation of space, these designers set the story of Boston by using interior design and create all those strong, creative, vibrant settings which make the city. These design principles ensure that Boston interior spaces will be the ideal representation of the city and its magnificent past, present and future in constant change.

September 21, 2021 (Washington, DC) — Beyer Blinder Belle Architects & Planners (BBB) announce the design and groundbreaking of Gallery 64, a new 12-story residential building providing 492 units of housing. Gallery 64 will anchor the renovation and redevelopment of the historic 2.7-acre Randall Junior High School site located at 65 Eye Street, SW, in Washington, DC, with the existing former school buildings transformed into the Rubell Museum DC, a world-class contemporary art museum. National real estate firm Lowe is the developer along with joint venture partner on the project, Mitsui Fudosan America.

Constructed in 1906, with two significant wings added in 1927, the Randall Junior High School historically served African American public-school students in southwest Washington, DC until its closing in 1978. The Rubell Museum will fill the central building and east wing of the school buildings which will be preserved and repurposed, presenting internationally renowned contemporary paintings, sculptures, photography, and installations.

A dynamic glass addition at the east wing will create an inviting museum entry, with a bookstore, café, and an outdoor dining terrace that enriches street activity along Eye Street. The West Randall building will provide approximately 18,000 SF of creative workspace aimed at variety of potential tenants including nonprofits, cultural institutions, technology incubators, and coworking businesses. The concept design for the redevelopment of the historic Randall School has received unanimous approval from the Historic Preservation Review Board and from the Advisory Neighborhood Commission. With Gallery 64 sited north of the historic buildings, the redevelopment will result in over 500,000 SF of usable space.

Gallery 64’s apartment residences are configured as studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units of which 98 are designated affordable. Nineteen two-level, townhouse-style residences activate the street with increased pedestrian connectivity and visual interest. Amenities include rooftop gathering spaces with fire pits, grilling stations, and outdoor kitchens; a dog walk; and a resort-style pool. Indoor communal areas include a spacious lounge with fireplace, game room, fitness center, a maker space, and a sound studio.

Gallery 64 is designed to LEED Gold standards, and the renovation of the historic school buildings will comply with LEED Silver guidelines. Gallery 64 and the overall campus redevelopment are anticipated to be completed by year-end 2022. Project visuals can be accessed here.

The 20-story infill residential tower includes ground-floor and cellar retail space, 121 rental units on the second through twentieth floors, and amenities including a landscaped rooftop terrace, private rear yard terraces, fitness and yoga rooms, resident lounge space, children’s playroom, general and bicycle storage, communal laundry, and pet wash. Located within the Borough Hall Skyscraper Historic District, the development was approved by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. The project’s foundation was completed in March, and the superstructure was completed in late summer 2021.

The unit interiors will boast a clean modern palette with oversized windows. The building’s distinctive design pays subtle homage to the area’s historic architecture with its verticality, rhythmic dark facade, including a polished black granite base, profiled Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) piers, bronze-tone metal detailing and charcoal-grey colored window frames.

4 Reasons To Restore The Facade Of Your Commercial Building

The façade of your commercial building is a very important part of the structure that represents your value and style. Although you want to focus on the interior part that provides space for employees and customers, the exterior part plays a significant role in inviting people to your business. If your façade is deteriorating due to aging, hire a commercial façade survey in MA, Boston to restore and save the building from crumbling. Here are four appropriate reasons why you need a façade restoration.

1) Prevent damage

Once you have constructed a commercial building, you have been using it as a platform to operate your business. The building itself is the hub for generating your revenue. As long as the structure stays firm and sturdy, you can continue with your business operation. That is why you need to protect the building to enhance its lifespan for more seasons.

2) A landmark

Some businesses are identified by their style of working environments. Shapes, color, and designs speak volumes when it comes to defining a landmark building. The owner of such a structure feels proud of unique creations that everyone knows it by the brand name. When people talk about an outstanding building in the town, your brand name will be on their lips.

3) Increase value

After a successful career, there may be a time when you want to expand your organization with a new initiative. The new project may prompt you to shift your business operation to another building that fits a larger group of employees. Before you move out, you may need to liquidize your assets. When you advertise your property, it is important to impress the buyers to sell it at the maximum price. Façade restoration can bring up a higher rate when you go for listing.

4) Save environment

Dismantling the entire building and constructing a new structure can consume time and money. Most importantly, the process may also damage the natural surroundings. If you want to maintain the condition of the building while preserving nature, hire a contractor that offers historic façade restoration design in MA. When your commercial building continues to thrive in time, the community in the area will also get job opportunities regarding your business trait.

New Post has been published on https://toldnews.com/travel/where-to-fly-in-an-a380-before-they-go-away/

Where to fly in an A380 before they go away

(CNN) — Airbus may have broken the hearts of aviation fans worldwide with the announcement that it’s ceasing production of its A380 airplane, but that doesn’t mean the superjumbo is going to stop flying any time soon.

With production planned up until 2021 and more than 200 of the huge aircraft serving schedules that, for the most part, look set to continue potentially for decades, there’s still plenty of opportunity to experience what many fliers say is the best seat in the sky.

The long-haul airplane — which features a double-decker cabin, wide-body configuration, spacious interior and a quieter inflight experience — currently connects major air hubs around the world that have been adapted to accommodate its massive airframe.

So, for those seeking to ride the A380 while it’s still in its prime, what are the best airlines and routes to try?

We’ve rounded up a selection that highlights the qualities which have so endeared the superjumbo to the flying public.

1. Singapore to Sydney — Singapore Airlines

The A380’s first ever commercial voyage back in 2007 was from Singapore to Sydney — so this route remains forever intertwined with the airplane’s identity.

For those who want to splash out, Singapore Airlines A380s have First Class Suites complete with double beds and armchairs — its service was the first to do so.

They’ve got more in common with five-star hotel rooms than cramped aircraft interiors, especially considering how quiet it is on board an A380.

2. Dubai to Auckland — Emirates

Dubai to Auckland is the longest Airbus A380 non-stop route.

Dubai-based carrier Emirates is one of the surest bets to grab a seat on an A380 since it owns the largest fleet of the superjumbos.

These massive aircraft are made for the long-haul, and Dubai to Auckland is the longest Airbus A380 non-stop route — charting 14,193 kilometers over the course of the 10-hour journey.

Passengers get to experience Emirates’ take on the A380’s capacity for luxury.

There’s an Onboard Lounge designed to promote “global conversation with fellow passengers.” Big spenders can book their own Private Suite for maximum privacy and there’s the A380 Shower Spa, perfect for some mid-flight rejuvenation.

3. London Heathrow to Boston — British Airways

We can’t guarantee your BA Airbus A380 flight will fly over the UK’s White Cliffs of Dover, but it might.

Courtesy British Airways

The comfort of the A380 aircraft makes the relatively short flight between London Heathrow and Boston (roughly seven hours and 40 minutes) fly by.

In both the first class cabin and World Traveller (the economy option) British Airways’ layout prioritizes privacy and space.

“My first time on an A380 was like an out of body experience,” one British Airways frequent flier tells CNN Travel. “The size, smell, silence, comfort, colors, curves…”

British Airways website offers up a fun A380 fact on its website: If all the wiring in the A380 was laid out end to end, it would stretch all the way from Edinburgh to London, that’s 320 miles.

4. Paris to New York: Air France

Flying to New York from Paris takes passengers from one glamorous international city to the other — surely those views over Long Island Sound are best admired from the comfort of the A380?

Still, Air France’s days with the A380 are in doubt — it has 10 in its fleet and announced back in November 2018 that this number will be cut down to five. It’s worth experiencing while you still can.

5. Honolulu to Tokyo: All Nippon Airways

While some airlines are wrapping up their Airbus routes, others are just getting them started.

From May 2019, passengers traveling on All Nippon Airways from Tokyo, Japan to Honolulu, Hawaii can enjoy an original A380 experience: the Flying Honu aircraft.

The three aircraft that’ll be operating this flight path are painted bright, colorful hues of blue, emerald green and orange — and decorated to resemble sea turtles (Honu is a term used for sea turtles in Hawaii).

“Hawaiian Sky” will go into service May 24, 2019 shortly followed by “Hawaiian Ocean” on July 1. “Hawaiian Sunset” will phased into service gradually.

When these ANA aircraft go into operation, it’ll be the first time first class has been made available on All Nippon Airways’ Honolulu route.

6. Frankfurt to Shanghai: Lufthansa

Lufthansa A380s have some cool features that set them out from the crowd and add to the level of comfort — think automatic cabin humidifiers and soundproof curtains.

If you want to test it out, flying from Frankfurt is a good shout — the airport has been well-adapted to manage the A380 experience.

Another German airport, Munich, has built special hangar doors to allow the A380 to grab some shelter while sticking its rear end out in the fresh air.

7. Dubai to Sao Paolo: Emirates

Here’s another chance to experience Emirates First Class Private Suite, on the first ever scheduled commercial A380 flight to South America.

A380s have been flying this route since 2016 when Sao Paulo International Airport was upgraded to handle the aircraft and its large number of passengers.

Alongside the 14 private suites on board, there are 76 lie-flat seats in business class and 401 seats in spacious economy.

8. Sydney to Hong Kong — Qantas

Qantas recently cancelled its outstanding A380 orders.

Qantas premiered its take on A380 first class back in 2008 — an experience deemed of such quality that it’s barely needed to change since.

Still, Qantas also recently canceled its outstanding A380 orders.

“For Qantas, the A380 is the aircraft of the past and not its future,” said Ellis Taylor, Asia finance editor at aviation intelligence firm FlightGlobal, reported CNN Business in February 2019.

Qantas’ nine hour 15 minute journey to Hong Kong is a great one to experience, while you still can.

9. Abu Dhabi to London — Etihad Airways

On board Etihad’s A380 passengers can enjoy “The Residence” a swanky three-room suite which comes with a living room, separate bedroom and en suite shower room.

Elite fliers can also enjoy the services of a butler and Travel Concierge service.

There’s a proper double bed, two flat screen TVs and more luxury than most mortals know how to handle.
