I went onboard an Emirates A380 for the first time and was blown away by the first-class luxuries – and how you can shower in mid-air

• Emirates' enormous Airbus A380 was on display at the Dubai Airshow.
• The first-class suites are huge and offer access to a bar and a private shower spa.
• The largest passenger jet really comes into its own when you're on the upper deck.

The Airbus A380 is the biggest passenger jet ever built, with a maximum takeoff weight of 575 tonnes — about the same as 320 Ford 5-150 trucks.

An Emirates A380 seats about 480 passengers, compared to about 280 on the A350-900 and about 240 on a typical Boeing Dreamliner.
