Impressive that you went OVER the MAXIMUM range of the aircraft which is "The A380-800 has a design range of 8,500 nautical miles (15,700 km)".
Also like Joe said in a recent thread "More importantly, the sweet spot for maximizing fleet income,etc, is 1,300 NM. As you go beyond this distance, you get diminished returns as far as monetary bonuses go. In short, the longer distances drive the costs up quite a bit. So, if you want to maximize the money earned, limit your flights to 1,300 NM or less." which would both lower your fuel cost and give you a fleet bonus

Also, you should consider hauling cargo and far fewer paxs or cargo only on long haul flights like this. You will likely get a fleet bonus at that point.

That might as well be the case. Good score either way. Is this the best received thus far?
