Thanks for the replies, I have booked 2 k now anyway, but i suppose if you are in 1A on the 380, you can always shout to the other passengers stood at the bar to knock you up a drink or two, and to pass the nuts.!!! save you getting up.

Paula100 sounds excited about her flights but I doubt she'll go to those lengths if the plane is switched.

I did DXB-SYD-AKL on 26/27 May. Sector from SYD to AKL had only myself in F! So the FA alloted me 30 minutes of water for the shower!

Even with the normal 5 minutes allocated to me on the DXB-SYD sector, it was more than enough to completely refresh me. The shower on the A380 is a lot better than many showers in so called 5 star hotels!

Well, water pressure of the A380's spa shower is on the low side though...

Thanks for that, EK_Flyer. That looks more than adequate to clean my nooks and crannies.

Have you thought of maybe asking one of the flight attendants to help take a picture/video of you using the shower.

(To make it G-Rated and suitable for FT, you'll need to wear a bathing suit).

I am sure a man could get away with a thong !!!!, anyone out their up for the challenge?. Would get a round of applaus from me, just make sure you're not bending down picking up the soap, when they take the photo

.

What i want to know is how does the women emerates uses to advertise the shower get undressed , showered, dressed, and hair dried and styled all in 25 mins!!!
