In-flight showers to be among A380 amenities
30 July 2008
Emirates has revealed that in-flight showers will be one of the many luxuries on offer to first class passengers onboard its new Airbus A380.
Premium customers will also be able to make use of a fully-equipped bar, private suites and Emirates' advanced in-flight entertainment system.
These provisions are part of the Dubai-based operator's ambition to turn its A380 into a 'premium hotel in the sky'.
The airline claims that its business and economy class passengers have not been overlooked, with all customers being given access to in-flight entertainment and gourmet menus.
Emirates received its A380 aircraft, which is the first of 58 on order, at a ceremony in Hamburg on 28 July.
The plane, which is the world's largest passenger airliner, will be deployed on Emirates' busiest routes to New York, London Heathrow, Sydney and Auckland between now and February 2009.
Opodo cheap flights, hotels and car hire - let the journey begin!
