I had my first flight (and in first class) on Emirates A380 from Sydney to Auckland and return in August of 2012 for a ski trip to Turoa. By far, this was the best flight that I have ever had and would rank well above my other first class experiences on SQ (777 and 747), CX (777), and QF (A380). The EK flight crew to AKL was Dubai based and incredibly friendly showing me around the plane, explaining the shower, and taking pictures of me ‘serving’ from the rear bar. One of the reasons that the flight was so memorable was that there were only 3 of us in first going over and 4 coming back so that it was rather like a private plane. I was able to take a shower both ways at 40,000 feet. I am sure that you will enjoy the flight.
