Is this what we all strive for?

Yes I would love to do this and not having to pay cash for it.

 

[NZflygirl]

Nope. I don't like being too isolated.

I want to try EY A380 / 789 F but I think J will be where I'll settle.

Otherwise QR F once every few yrs would be me, and QR J.

Yet to try SQ J 777 new product.

too many "hi, how are you" , "i'm fine", "thankyou".. i couldn't handle all that attention

The hostess/ check in agent in AUH is the same lady who looked after us recently - very lovely.

I find normal DOM lounges a bit isolated. I like the interaction with at least some of the human race! But yes, I'd like to try it once. I was really disappointed to see that there were no Segway's from limo to lounge. Fancy expecting the creme de la creme to walk!

Without me watching it again, did it really say $3000 at the end?

Yes, it's about USD3,000 for the short flight from AUH to BOM (3 hours approx)

Bloody hell! Even I can afford that. What's the world coming too?

 

[samh004]

Makes me want to take that flight so badly!

What really is a shame though, is that if that is the upper end of First, why can't QF even do something similar but without the shower facilities. They have the space to set up a nice A380 apartment cabin... then they could really set a high price!

 

[zainman]

I would fly this for $3k!

 

[TomVexille]

I think I could handle flying like this...

Ha! I was looking at just that when I was booking return from the Gulf in November this year and I also want to re-visit India. But then this strange concept of 'thrift' kicked in ...

The bed would probably be hard anyway ...

Assume that the bed could be used for mile high membership

I think that's a fine assumption! :mrgreen:

 

[VPS]

It's all very nice but I find the subservience just a little too much - mind you I'm looking forward to F on Emirates with my points in May

Surely this can be done in Apartments .....

I would fly this for $3k!

Make that 2 people with $1.5K each? Obviously the other person should be the person who you are comfortable sleeping with ..... :mrgreen:
