1. Not me.
Not yet.

I can only imagine the boarding process - "Now boarding Zones 55 through 60 please"

:rofl:

12. Here's the worst part
These planes are used for long haul routes (8 hours +). In 8 hours, pretty much everyone on that flight is going to have to take a shit and some will take more than one shit. That's about 500-600 shits. There is no ventalation to the outside. Just hope and prey you aren't sitting next to one of the blue rooms.

9. Right Here
Flew Emirates in 2008 to India with a stop over in Dubai. Loved every minute of the trip.

Sat in coach for 22 hours. Still loved it. The food was awesome. The entertainment was great. Listened to the entire Beatles catalogue on the flight. Watched 30 Rock and five other movies. Slept like a baby, and I remind you, I flew coach!

18. I'm not sure, but I think
based on whatever configuration the airline decides on...it can actually hold more than that.

I read that sometime ago however, as they were coming out...too lazy to google right now.
