A bowling alley would be nice, though...
And a climbing wall! That one might require some slight reconfiguration of fuselage shape.

Perhaps that is the explanation for people running around in underpants in the F cabin ...

There was a fellow passenger on my flug today walking around F in his underpants like he was a the beach.

Let them first improve their seats quality and make them on par with other 5 star airlines (SQ+BA+CX+EK+QR) then they can introduce such things like shower on board.

A shower in an airplane is simply stupid. Extra weight for the water requires more kerosine and you still get a very low pressure during your short shower experience. Let the showers be on the ground in arrival lounges. Those facilities may need improvements in terms of quantity and quality. But thinking of showers in an airplane is ...

Exactly. LH explained why they didn't outfit the new A380 F with showers, and it makes perfect sense.

Golden shower?

So, I have never seen or heard of showers in a plane (which doesnt imply that there arent such devices).

Question: are there really showers in any plane (LH or other carriers)??
Could you smart young lady be talking about a golden shower? Seriously you would not believe what some "smart" people are into.

Exactly- LH spent a lot of time talking with their frequent F class passengers- and the product which they rolled out is a result of this- shower on the plane is one of the sillier possible amenities really.

Errrm. The photog and the make up artist who shot that portrait earned their money the hard way. This is picture has not much to do with reality.

I wonder who are these people they talked too !?
Was there any member belong to FT that was consulted on the new F product or the future C class product? I doubt it.
