Rival airlines Emirates and Etihad are both flying their luxe Airbus A380s to the US. See how the superjumbos compare.

Etihad Airways' beloved Airbus A380 has returned to the US after four years. It landed at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport just after 10 a.m. on Monday after a more than 14-hour trek from Abu Dhabi.
The UAE-based carrier previously flew two Boeing 787 Dreamliners on the route but replaced one with the superjumbo to boost capacity amid strong demand.
This wasn't always the plan, though.
Etihad considered retiring the jet after the pandemic but eventually found that select routes could be profitable — particularly thanks to the cash cow products lining its upper deck.
Etihad's luxurious A380 will rival UAE carrier Emirates, the world's biggest operator of the behemoth double-decker. The carrier flies its A380 fleet between New York-JFK and Dubai.
Emirates has similar high-dollar amenities to Etihad's, like a shower and bar, but its retrofitted planes offer more options to those sitting on the lower level.
Here's how the cabin products on Etihad's A380 compare to those on Emirates' refurbished superjumbos.
