In-Flight Showers Become a Reality
Passengers on Emirates A380 planes now have the ability to take in-flight showers (and partake of every other imaginable goody that first class offers). Although the bathrooms can be enjoyed for up to 30 minutes, you're only allowed five minutes of actual shower time. Each A380 has two shower spas on the upper deck.
How much? A first class ticket with spa access from Sydney, Australia to Auckland, New Zealand will set you back over $1,200 (US dollars). Then again, if you needed to ask, you couldn't afford it anyway. [From: The Sydney Morning News via Gadling]

FLY NAKED ??? I'M ALL FOT THAT!! DOES THAT INCLUDE THE STEWARDESS ALSO???

Most of the stewardes's I have had on my last filght would get paid to put there close back on.

There happens to be a small camera in the shower area. This allows your "shower activity" to be broadcast and shown as the in-flight movie.

This might be a good idea. I've been so unfortunate to share seating with those to whom cleanliness seems to be unimportant. I say forced showers for those who refuse to bathe before they fly. I'm also fortunate to have my own small aircraft and on trips up to 500 miles I just fly myself. I do shower every day...(sometimes twice in the summer) so I don't have a problem with body odor...yuck

If it's an Arab flight, you definitely want the showers--with deoderant soap.

Leave it to someone from AOL to make the headline seem like a story it is not. I'd say they need to get more intelligent reporters or grow some integrity. This type of reporting is cheesy and low class. Not to mention it makes you look stupid.

The only people who will be able to afford a flight on this flying sauna are Arab sheiks and American capitalists who make billions of dollars off the backs of commoners! If it was up to the Third Position Army, the greedy fatcats would be flying coach, and the poor passengers would be the ones taking inflight showers and sitting in first class. Put the greedy on trial!

Luxury has nothing to do with "need." I'm fine with this kind of thing precisely because if it separates hyper-rich people from their money to keep pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, gate attendants and all such other "little people" associated with the airline working, that's fine with me.
So let's hope it becomes "the thing" for the hyper-rich to have sex in airplane showers. The more they spend, the better.
