That was cool to watch thanks, although I got slightly concerned when it cut to the guy filming himself in the shower.

I'd love to try it some day, prices can be reasonable on the right route at the right time of year, I think I'd get lost walking around the A380.

Good to see the video, as it gives the whole overall feel by showing all the classes.

Is it normal to allow filming on-board, as I'd have thought both the crew and fellow passengers wouldn't have been too happy being filmed.

Amazing service.
It's something when you look at Business Class and it looks cramped!!

I was thinking the same thing myself. Maybe it was some sort of hidden camera.

It certainly is ( the way to travel that is). I ( and a few others here) are lucky enough to have exerienced the EK F suites on the A380. I know slinky thinks the decor is a bit blingy :0 ( yes it is a bit "Dubai-ish" with the gold and walnut) but I loved it :D . Fabulous service, fabulous food and drink ( Dom Pom is the fizz in F :D ) and a shower at 38,000 ft ( surreal ,cool and had to be done just to say I had LOL). Mr DL and I had an awesome time :D :D .

Funny - I know that guy (behind the camera).... and can't believe he filmed himself showering! There's showing off, and then there's taking it too far, and show(er)ing off! And yes, amazing how cramped business class looks.

I love it.

Roll on 12th September when I head back to OZ on EK for part two of aged balding hippy searches for lost youth and, more importantly, lost hair.

76 mini-suites in the Business Cabin but there is actually plenty of room.

Hopefully my appalling dress sense will get me upgraded from J to F, to protect the other passengers from the sight of a Wolverhampton Wanderers shirt!!

The only things missing in the video, and I kid you not about this, are the wall mounted flower displays in the J cabin..real flowers too.

Found the photo!!
