On-board Showers

When Emirates launched its A380 on a nonstop from Dubai to New York, it outfitted the upper-deck first-class digs with two shower stalls to be shared by up to 14 passengers. Given the enormous weight the water adds to the plane (at least a ton), fliers are limited to five minutes under the spray, with a discreet color coded warning system that alerts them when the water is about to run out.
