Luca for Cabin Crew this is the package deal (quoted from above site);

Your pay consists of a fixed basic salary, an hourly pay for operated flights and an overseas allowance.
Pay Scale:
Grade II: Basic Monthly Salary AED.3640/- (1 USD = approx. AED 3.673) Tax Free in the UAE. $1,240.72 Australian per month
Flying Pay: On an hourly basis:
Grade II AED 47.50 per hour. $16.20 Australian per hour for every flying hour
Paid between chocks off and chocks on. Flying pay is paid in the month following accrual.
Meal allowances are paid in the currency of the country of night stop. Transport to & from the airport, and hotel accommodation is provided by the company.

This is as your basic Cabin Crew Member, if you move up to doing first and business class service you get paid more, and if you become a purser (head cabin crew on flight) you obviously get a bit more.

So as you can see it's not much as a base pay, but you make it up with the allowances, so the more flights you do the more money you earn. But as I previously mentioned they give you a fully furnished apartment to live in with another hosty (same sex of course because in Dubai you can't live with the opposite sex unless you are married or family). So you don't have to worry about paying rent, and some meals are provided for you as well, so basically what you earn you keep, and they can transfer your money to your preferred account tax free also.

Back to the A380 though, it can hold up to 555 people, but Qantas are having it so they can hold 450 people. So with the internet access, it just depends on the airline what specs they decide to put or not put onboard.
