Emirates passengers will be able to have a shower during a flight on the latest version of the Airbus A380.
The passengers will book their 25-minutes slots, which will include five minutes in the shower itself and some extra time to dry themselves off and get dressed again.
They will be able to keep track of how much time they have left in the shower by looking at a dial in the cubicle itself.
In between each passenger an onboard janitor will scrub the facility clean for the next customer.
While business class passengers get rather large seats, those in first class are offered "suites", with a 23-inch television screen, plenty of gold trim, leather and wood.
Such luxuries are how the airlines try to set themselves apart from the rivals as they hope to lure premium passengers willing to pay significant amounts for a few hours pampering.
Emirates has decided that showers and a rather large cocktail bar will be what is known in business circles as its "unique selling point" for those passengers unaffected by the credit crisis and soaring fuel prices.
The airline, the second to take delivery of the aviation behemoth, has ordered 58 A380s.
Capable of handling 525 passengers, Airbus claims that the plane is more fuel efficient than its rivals.
