Celebrity Solstice (December 2012) - Post 5

Flight home - Auckland to Melbourne - 4th. January.

I experienced on this flight home, for my first time, Emirates Airlines A380 first class suites. What a fantastic indulgence - the best flight I've ever taken. If only one could afford to fly like this every time!

The centre seats.
Despite being only a 3 1/2 hour flight, I booked a shower for right after take-off. Just because I could and what a great experience. I've had ships' bathrooms smaller than this.


Passengers can book one of the two bathrooms for 25 mins with the shower water being available for 5 mins. of that time (there's an automatic timer in the shower so you don't get caught out when the water goes off!)

As you'd expect, the plane has a great tv entertainment system.
This is luxury - after a very good dinner, being able to shut the suite doors and stretch out in privacy with a bottomless glass of good red. I could have happily stayed on to Dubai!
