A380 seat auction

Seats on the first commercial flight of the Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger plane, are being auctioned on eBay by Singapore Airlines (SIA).

Not long after opening, bids of up to $2,550 (£1,266) had been placed. The auction closes on 10 September.

Most of the seats on the superjumbo flight on 25 October from Singapore to Sydney will be put on sale, SIA said.

Starting prices range from $3.80 in economy to $380 for a luxury package. All proceeds will go to charity.

Profits from the sale will be divided equally between a Singapore charity, two children's' hospitals in Sydney and international relief agency Medecins Sans Frontieres.
