Height of luxury: The super-jumbo brings the stuff that dreams are made of to the UK

By Daily Mail Reporter

Away she goes: Hundreds of members of the public look on as the Emirates Airbus A380 takes off after paying its first ever visit to Manchester Airport, kicking off the new service to Dubai


The red carpet was rolled out today as the largest and most luxurious aircraft in the world spread its wings in the UK.

As it taxied to a standstill at Manchester Airport for the first time, the doors opened to reveal the Airbus A380 super-jumbo's state-of-the-art opulence that all but the wealthiest passengers can only dream about.

There's the champagne bar on the upper level to wile away those long-haul hours, and the first class capsules brim with gizmos, not forgetting the fine dining and silver service.

And even the toilet facilities are something out of the ordinary.

A little lower down the scale, the business class cabin is still luxurious, and expensive, while those who have to rough it in economy may be pleasantly surprised by the spacious environment that this massive aircraft provides.

Emirates flew the 500-seat aircraft into Manchester at the start of its daily service to Dubai, watched by an enthusiastic crowd who had turned out to watch it glide over the rooftops on its approach to the airport.

It was the very first time the A380 had touched down anywhere in Britain other than at Heathrow Airport, from where she started operating two years ago.
