Funny you should mention that. The numbers I've seen say that the
dead weight per passenger or per pound of cargo is much higher on a
380 than on a 777 or 747. On long routes like trans-Pacific, the 777
actually has a higher cargo capacity than a 380 because of all of the
fuel that a 380 has to carry.
