A380 Inaugural Flight & US West Coast Tour

I was lucky enough to be selected as a crew member for the inaugural flight of our A380. On the 1st of August we operated flight EK3801 from Dubai - New York JFK. The atmosphere onboard was electric. The service was crazy as we were still learning where to find things. We spent 2 days recoving in New York and then we took the aircraft on a special tour of the west coast stopping off in San Francisco followed by LA. The demostration flights we did were so much fun. Buzz Aldrin came on the LA one with us. After the tour we returned to New York for 2 more days before heading home so I could then move into my new apartment. ML1 - The front door
The forward stairs that lead from economy to first class.

The Crew Work Station, also known as the Purser's Office.
The waterfall that greets first class customers as they board using the stairs.
The shower cubicle.

There is lots of room to move around inside the shower.

You can even watch the airshow while you're in there!
Me behind our business and first class bar in the onboard lounge.
We have loads of great food and there is a widescreen TV too.
On our arrival into San Francisco we were greeted by a water cannon salute from the airport fire department.

And this is what it looked like from the inside.
