After 2+ years into pandemic, starting on May 1st, 2022, British Airways and Emirates will fly to San Francisco International Airport with their A380 aircrafts. These large, double-desk, jumbo-jet airplanes can accommodate more passengers for the increasing demands, ready for the coming Summer travel season. On 5/1/22, I headed to Bayfront Park in Millbrae, California to see return of these aircrafts. The park is right next to SFO, a very good location for plan spotting activities.
Here is the video capturing the landing of British Airways BA286 coming from Heathrow International Airport:
After landing, the big bird is at the tarmac, waiting to get to the terminal gate.
Here is Emirates EK226, heading to the runway for departure for Dubai International – A rare scene where the two A380s are head to head.
People gather at the park to spot the A380s.

I am very excited to see the return of A380s at SFO. I am hopeful to fly on these aircrafts soon!
