Showering Tips for Lucky First Class Passengers on Emirates’ A380 Flights

Those huge new A380 aircraft being flown by the Emirates airline offer a special perk for first class passengers: Showers. You should know, though, that the showers are limited to 5-minutes. Not enough time? Oh, yes it is. Here’s a tip from a colleague who lives in “drought country” where water-rationing is occasionally in-force: first, get in the shower, quickly get wet, then turn it off. Next, soap up, and put on the shampoo. Then turn the water back on, and rinse. Nice way to travel.
