As to the "Alex" poster, I wish someone would track that guy down for he seems to be posting his trash to every discussion board and forum he can find. Get rid of this jerk once and for all.]]>Mar 26th 2008 2:39PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/http://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/Mar 26th 2008 7:51PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/http://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/The technology and its people are going too far with these. Why can one not shower at home before going to the Airport and the most can be a 10 hour flight. We work 10 hours before retaking a shower. Are we going to introduce showers at work too?]]>Mar 26th 2008 4:09PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/http://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/Mar 26th 2008 4:09PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/http://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/

God created the Earth, God probably wants us to treat it well.]]>Mar 26th 2008 4:46PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/http://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/Mar 26th 2008 4:56PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/http://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/
Also, those who fly on seats those expensive are usually business executives who need to look good when they arrive and go straight to a meeting or something. That's why the airlines, after giving them 5 course meals with 200 dollar a bottle wines, give free toiletries such as cologne, toothbrush, razor, etc to clean up, as well as pajamas so they are comfortable for those lie-flat beds. You get what you pay for.

Having a shower on board is a nice benefit, and it sounds like something you all are just complaining about, most likely because you will never get to use it.

BTW Fred, they already have showers at airport lounges, but maybe you don't have an hour or two to waste to find the right terminal where the lounge is, wait for one of their open showers, get clean, change clothes, and go back to your next place, be it a meeting or a connecting flight. People have stuff to do, get over it.

Bob Wang: Stop being ignorant, it just makes you look stupid. Emirates is one of the best airlines in the world it has nothing to do with being a Muslim and therefore needing to shower more. They're also the first to be introducing the technology to safely use cellphones DURING your flight. Emirates is a company that tries to best serve its customers its not race or religion so stop being ignorant.

Pawntail: If you work at an airport, than you should know that Jet-A fuel is completely different than the low-octane unleaded gas for my car, the two are different products and aren't related so stop trying to fear mongle people into your position by saying your gas is becoming more expensive because of showers on airplanes (I hope you know how ridiculous that sounds). That's like saying because rich people want some Gucci shoes, therefore your adidas are going to be more expensive because of a demand for more shoes. That's nothing but a bunch of crap. ]]>Mar 26th 2008 4:57PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/http://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/Mar 26th 2008 5:10PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/http://www.switched.com/2008/03/25/airline-introduces-mile-high-showers/Chris telling it like it is. Trust me, my job entails flying all over the world. Really and no matter how hard you try you smell once you leave that plane.

If I have to say anything Chris is so right. If it can be afforded at $18,000 per 1st class ticket and a shower can make all the difference when you are late for that big $300 million dollar meeting because you smelled bad and looked like hell off of your 12 hour flight.

Globalization is everywhere people, money is abundant in that region, just deal with the fact that $multi million dollar deals are made everyday.
