00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,900
NARRATOR: So it's been 15 years
since Edwards debuted its A380

2
00:00:02,900 --> 00:00:04,610
shower spa, but
there's still something

3
00:00:04,610 --> 00:00:07,880
so special about showering
35,000 feet above the ground

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:09,350
at 500 miles per hour.

5
00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:11,300
So how does it work,
and what are the rules?

6
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:12,890
You'll want to make
an appointment as soon

7
00:00:12,890 --> 00:00:14,510
as possible, and
typically the cabin crew

8
00:00:14,510 --> 00:00:17,600
will come around pre-departure
and ask you for your preferred

9
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:18,860
30 minute slot.

10
00:00:18,860 --> 00:00:20,690
First class passengers can
shower once per flight,

11
00:00:20,690 --> 00:00:23,400
and each person gets five
minutes of hot running water

12
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,430
but more on that at
the end of this video.

13
00:00:25,430 --> 00:00:27,110
You won't need to bring
anything into the shower

14
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:29,090
spa except yourselves
as you'll be provided

15
00:00:29,090 --> 00:00:31,190
with all kinds of
toiletries from dental kits

16
00:00:31,190 --> 00:00:34,160
to shaving kits to cotton pads
and shower caps and, of course,

17
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:35,450
body wash and fresh towels.

18
00:00:35,450 --> 00:00:37,310
But if that isn't
enough, there are also

19
00:00:37,310 --> 00:00:39,290
Bulgari toiletries, a
hairdryer, and you'll

20
00:00:39,290 --> 00:00:40,910
be given slippers and pajamas.

21
00:00:40,910 --> 00:00:43,550
The spa also provides
full-length mirrors, hanging

22
00:00:43,550 --> 00:00:46,040
space for your outfit, and
even a TV screen displaying

23
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,560
the flight path if you're
curious as to which country

24
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,790
you'll be showering over.

25
00:00:49,790 --> 00:00:52,430
So about the five minutes
of hot water, don't worry.

26
00:00:52,430 --> 00:00:54,580
You can pause the water flow
to make the most of those five

27
00:00:54,580 --> 00:00:56,180
minutes, and when you
have just one minute left,

28
00:00:56,180 --> 00:00:57,620
the water will
stop automatically

29
00:00:57,620 --> 00:01:01,550
as a gentle reminder to
enjoy those final 60 seconds.
