Stu: That might not be enough for long haul flights. Ensuite in the cockpit, perhaps? ;-)


Emirates probably do...!!

I saw a video of the Suites on their A380's. Just...wow!

Those A380's are amazing alright. I was happy enough to fly cattle class in one last year. Scottjpalmer has flown in the upstairs classes, as has sbiddle I believe!

Actually the staff were very efficient at getting everyone in and seated. Half an hour I think it took? Could be wrong. Didn't actually time it. It was surprising though!

The custom boarding facilities have multiple doors etc. so it is quite quick.

A friend of mine flew LHR to BKK in the upstairs class. They collected him from home in a limo (no extra cost) drove straight to the business class part of the terminal. His bags were removed from the boot of the limo and his passport taken by emirates staff who had checked him in by the time he arrived in the lounge...!

On boarding (dedicated business airbridges) all that remained was to book what time he wanted his in flight shower slots....!!!
