FANCY a shower during your 12-hour flight?

Now you can do that, if you travel first-class on the new Emirates Airbus A380 planes later this year, reported news.com.

The Dubai-based carrier plans to carry fresh water on its superjumbo.

According to Mr Richard Vaughan, Emirates' senior vice-president of commercial operations for East Asia and Australasia said: "The water certainly won't be recycled."

He added that the showers would be cleaned after every use.

Showers for first-class passengers are among a range of sky-high options that will be available to premium passengers.

He did not want to elaborate but more details would be announced later this year.

Emirates' has ordered 58 A380s - the biggest purchase by any airline of the superjumbo so far. It will receive its first A380 in August.

Mr Vaughan said: "The A380 has brought another era of aviation and our aircraft will have every facility to ensure passenger comfort in all three classes."
