Been waiting for them to do something cool on the a380s. Think it will actually pan out?

shouldve mentioned that came from a low rent version of the onion does remind me of a question though. i was on an ac 77w last week and i noticed that they had ash trays built into all the bathroom doors. i assume this plane was built in the last 10 years, why are they still including them?

It's a load of poop! No way in the world is it legal on any PUBLIC airplane! The charcoal alone is a considered Dangerous Goods, and is is not allowed to be carried, just how do these people come come up with this stuff? Having said that, there are a few PRIVATE jets that MIGHT have sheesha smoking areas…MIGHT…but for sure not on any EK 380's…you can't even smoke it in a hotel room because it's a real fire hazard.

it could happen! logic and law as westerners know it doesnt apply in a lot of countries.
have you been to a hotel in an arab country, they put cut off plastic water bottle bottoms over the smoke detectors in the rooms and hallway so as not to set off the smoke detectors and everyone smokes away.

They will store it next to the dry ice in catering.
