Bars in the Sky?

Have searched and can't find a post on this... which airlines have bars in their planes?

I know of Virgin Atlantic (which brings back great memories!), Emirates A380, and I think V Australia. There must be more.

On a related note, would it be possible to do a round the world bar crawl in the sky?! Would be wonderfully entertaining (if expensive!)

Those are the only three I know of, too.

I think that when the 747 first came out, Pan Am had its 747s configured with the upstairs being a bar.

I think there are also a few other airlines that have in plane lounges for premium pax... Qantas A380, and at least one middle eastern airline, dont recall which one.

Here are some pictures:

remember that the first 747's had a much smaller upper deck, so the seating loss wasn't that huge - but I do like the bar and the little cocktail tables!

Jet Airways and Kingfisher Airlines have them on most wide bodies.

All 380s have bars so far, even on airlines that never used to have them before.
