Fly Lah!

In a develoment that adds new significance to the term "cattle class", Airbus has announced the sale of the first-ever 850-seater aircraft.
The two airliners, all-economy versions of its giant A380 passenger plane, will start flying from Paris in 2014, the company said.

The cram-them-in configuration, known euphemistically as "high-density", has been certified for use by civil aviation authorities after a fire test in which 873 people, 853 "passengers" and 20 crew, were safely evacuated in under 80 seconds.

850 passengers!!!
take how long to get the boarding pass, and board?

Check in may take longer ..... what more if the a/c is heading to USA or Israel ....

However, boarding will take no longer than 30 mins, as per industry standard, as long as 2 lower deck doors and 2 upper deck doors are used, but most airlines will board their pax 40-50 min before departure in order to make on-time-departure.
