p/p ppCarrying almost 500 passengers, the Emirates A380-800 left Sydney about 9.30am yesterday on its first scheduled passenger flight to Auckland, and arrived just after 2pm./p pAt the controls was New Zealander Wayne Taylor, who learned to fly in Rotorua. Several other Kiwis were on the flight decks. Among them was barman Troy Whittle, of Mt Albert, Auckland./p pHaving worked for Emirates for about five years, Mr Whittle now mans the upstairs lounge bar, serving up cocktails and canapes to business class passengers./p pquot;At night time we drop the curtains down and make it a little bit darker,quot; he said./p pWhen he is not flying, Mr Taylor is based in Dubai./p pEmirates provided quot;fantastic apartmentsquot; for its crew, with all utilities paid for and every kind of outdoor sport available on your doorstep, he said./p pquot;I#39;m having the time of my life,quot; Mr Taylor said./p pThe Emirates A380 will initially fly between Auckland and Dubai, via Sydney, three times a week but will increase as the company grows its fleet of A380s./p pThe plane features 14 first class quot;suitesquot;, 76 business class quot;podsquot; and 399 economy seats./p pThe first class suites are the height of luxury, with soft leather, fully reclining seats, work desk and built-in illuminated vanity mirror, personal electrically controlled mini bar and room service./p pTwo luxurious shower spas are also available to first class passengers on a booking system that allocates about 20 minutes to each passenger./p pLuxury also abounds in business class, with seats housed in a quot;podquot; that includes a mini bar, privacy panel between seats, laptop and shoe compartments and a touch screen seat controller and in-flight entertainment system./p pBut it was disappointing that the previously large and heavily padded business class seats had been replaced with a narrower, harder version in order to make way for the new gadgets./p /p br

    Wow that was long……… Since you have said that no sign were posted stating that there was a limit to how many you buy then you were entitled to purchase as many as you want.
