The eBay auction for tickets on the Airbus A380’s first commercial flight—from Singapore to Sydney, on Singapore Air—is only a day old, and already prices are skyrocketing. That’s bad news for airline geeks, who will have to spend a lot to gain a coveted spot on the Oct. 25 flight. It’s good news, though, for the four charities that will get the proceeds.
The auction runs through Sept. 2 and features a variety of different seating options, including spots in two suites on the plane. The bidding for those starts at $380,000.
Wow. Wait a year, and that bankroll could just about buy you two tickets to space.
