Not too many Airliners are going for the 7478 to use on passenger routes because the 77X and A350 are the two airplanes most airliners are going to get for med-long haul looking a few years ahead. The 7478 has done well when it comes to cargo but passenger wise it hasn't and I don't know if Boeing was really intended it to be successful passenger jet.
Recent flight I took from YVR - LHR on BA's club world on the 744;

Are all the seats on their own? One small thing I hate about business seats nowadays is that they concentrate so much on comfort they forget that sometimes people travel with say... a significant other...

Yeah the A380 isn't for many carriers definitely... only the ones that have high volume going to major hubs like LAX or LHR FRA.. etc. and not to mention slot restrictions.
I'm looking forward to seeing the BWB project come to life. That would definitely be an engineering marvel :O |
not to mention faster cruise speeds
4 engines > 2 engines
