Looks like a Vegas Casino. I'm surprised the FAA allows that arrangement because it would slow evacuation. I mean they won't even let the pion's recline their seats 2"!

That is one bad ass plane. The only thing missing was a happy ending. BTW, those are the type of automation systems I design and install in high end homes.

I just checked the First Class one way fare from Bangkok to Hong Kong and Emirates gave me $645.76. I could definitely handle that. I need to start flying to different parts of the world. Just for comparison, a ticket in steerage can be bought for as little as $199. FWIW

The FAA will never see this configuration. It is amazing what is done on local routes in Asia and the Middle East.

I can't watch YouTube on my work computer but I'm guessing they didn't show any of the flight attendants? I managed to land an invite to a Dept. of State employees party in Dubai last fall and it included at least a half dozen of their lovely ladies. The hottest of the bunch was the Italian...pilot. She was about 6' without her heels, long dark hair...definitely not the typical in the US. The one girl I talked to a little more was German, spoke 4 languages, had previously been in real estate, and also had at least her Bachelor's degree if I recall. She might have been 33? She was definitely a solid 9. They make it worthwhile to fly Emirates, that's for sure.
