I think you will be suitably relieved of any concerns you have. Yes the Singapore seating plan is 3-4-3, but in all dimensions the spacings are larger than the 747. The seats are wider, the spacings between seats in front of you are bigger, and the isles are larger. The head room is also a lot bigger. In summary, there is a massive sense of space on the A380 - something travellers will appreciate. The A380 has also passed all certification tests with flying colours with regard to evacuation - at first attempt. In addition the crash analysis has been certified to the latest standard of airworthiness regulations. As with any method of travel, there is an intrinsic risk, but the A380 has passsed all tests that have been asked of it. I would also add that the A380 has airport tested itself at over 30 airports (getting up to the number of airports a 747 can fly into at present), and today has recieved nothing but positive remarks over how easy it is to turn around the aircraft.
