Now, in addition to cocktails and big seats, if you fly first class you can also take a shower. According to the Sidney Morning Herald, if you are flying in an A380 you can take a 30 minute spa break with a five minute shower. Naked at 43,000 feet: showering on the Emirates A380 superjumbo This sounds like a great idea on paper... but let's really think about this for a minute. One, it's a public restroom. Two, it's a public shower. Three, what if you hit turbulents whilst all soaped up, and slip and slide your way right back out of the shower and into the even more public cabin? Do you really think the stewardess is going to help you?
I can understand wanting to take a shower on a long flight. I truly can. It's like taking a road trip. After I get out of the car on a long drive, all I want is a shower. But, you get out of the shower, and you go back to your seat. Then into a public terminal. You pick up your bags, and head out. Honestly, after going through all of that, I would want another shower anyway.
But, this shower thing should add a whole new level for the Mile-High Club.

Hmmm. Wonder if they have "peep-holes" in the showers to keep you from doing anything untoward, like they put in the bedroom compartments of planes.
