Emirates
The A380 is the plane that has allowed companies to indulge. Never before had there been so much space aboard an aircraft, and carriers competed to find the fanciest solution to offer their passengers, especially those willing to pay to travel in first and business class.

The most outlandish idea had been Virgin Atlantic's Who, when he had ordered the giant made in Airbus, had also speculated about putting casino tables there. This idea never came to fruition, but many others did.
Emirates, which in fact received half of the A380s products, thus provided first-class guests with a shower and for all premium passengers a bar. A real bar to sit and socialize with other passengers.

At the outbreak of the pandemic EK had reduced in-flight service, as had all carriers, and closed bars and showers. Then in October 2020 he had reopened everything, again offering a complete experience to its passengers.
Then, in early 2021, with the omicron variant that made the numbers of positives skyrocket, Emirates had decided to close the bar again. So as to ensure more safety for passengers and staff, since it is undoubtedly the area where people are with other people the longest and even without a mask.
Now the announcement: starting today, Feb. 11, operations will return to normal and you can go back to enjoying a glass of Dom Perignon 2008 while chatting with friends, fellow travelers or strangers at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Who can go to the A380 bar?
The bar is accessible to passengers traveling in first and business class, politely asking the crew is it possible to invite friends traveling in economy, or the new premium economy, to come upstairs and spend time in this space.
