Yesterday, Emirates launched a new ad with Jennifer Aniston, star of hit series Friends. Word on the street she earned a total of $ 20 million for the gig. The advertisement is clearly targeted at the US market. What do you think?

The amazing view from the inside - Airplanes Hollywood-Style!
Because our view of an aircraft interior is typically what you see above, it's kind of cool to see, below, what we're actually sitting in:
Now you see why airplane cargo containers are shaped the way they are.
And it's only in cross-section that we can appreciate how truly gargantuan an Airbus A380 is:
While it's rare for us average Joes to see airplane cross-sections, there's at least one company that looks at them all the time. In fact, they create them. Air Hollywood, started by a movie producer who found shooting films in actual airports too logistically constraining, bills themselves as "the world's premiere aviation-themed studio." Whenever a movie, television show or commercial needs to be shot inside an aircraft, without the pesky security regulations of an actual airport, Air Hollywood is the only game in town.
Perhaps due to the relative proximity of L.A. and Washington State, the company's mockups are Boeing-based, with nary an Airbus in sight. Air Hollywood stocks full interiors for the 727, 767 and every model in between.
Located inside their studio facilities, the lighting of the full-scale mockups can be precisely and easily controlled, and of course there's no weather to worry about.
The aisle widths are cheated a bit, providing room for cameramen to maneuver.
The company also provides smaller "mobile wall" units that can be lengthened or shortened, Lego-like, as needed, and provide more than enough room for cameramen and even dolly tracks.
The "mobile wall" units also allow for getting overhead angles that would otherwise be impossible to shoot.
Air Hollywood stocks cockpits too, so audiences can watch a drunken Denzel behind the stick in Flight.
And if there's one place that's truly impossible to shoot in in an actual aircraft, it's the lavatory. Hence the company's knocked some up with "wildable," or removeable, walls to stick cameras in and out of.
The company's business isn't purely filming-related, by the way. This being L.A., they've also set up a sideline business... teaching dogs how to fly in airplanes:

Uber Teams Up With United Airlines, And Your Ride To The Airport Will Never Be The Same
Uber just found a way to curb the guilt of asking friends for a late-night airport pickup -- and also a way to make us loyal to their company until the end. of. time.
Ad: Sign up to Superfly and take advantage of both. www.superfly.com
The taxi, car and rideshare app has teamed up with United Airlines, so now you can book an Uber car right from the United Airlines app on your phone and ride to or from the airport in one of those sleek black vehicles... like a boss.
As of this week, travelers can use the United app on their iOS or Android devices to see the available types of Uber vehicles, wait times and prices in their current location. After they select a ride, they'll be transferred to the Uber app (if they have it) or Uber's website to complete the transaction. Then, BAM! An Uber car arrives at the curb, ready to whisk you from the United terminal to your final destination (or vice versa).
Oh, and if you book your first-ever Uber ride via the United app, you'll receive 1,000 MileagePlus award miles (for a limited time).
The new feature is part of a major Uber campaign that also involves a partnership with Hyatt Hotels -- travelers can now book an Uber car from the Hyatt app in a similar way. Uber has also collaborated with Starbucks and OpenTable, if you need a lift to a mid-trip snack.
We call this one small step for Uber, and one GIANT step for the smoothness of our travels.

Wondering which are the best seats in the plane? Take a look at these!
On long-haul flights, both flight attendants and pilots need to take breaks. Yet airplane designers are of course forced to cram cabin crew rest areas into confined spaces, to leave more room for revenue-generating passenger seats. So how do they manage it, and what do these spaces look like?
Crew Rest Compartments, or CRCs, vary in design from plane to plane. Boeing's enormous 787 has this pimpish loft space nestled above the passenger compartment, where up to five flight attendants can catch some shuteye:
The photo above is of the space as it exists in an actual airplane. If we look at the design-phase mockups, below, we can see the designers initially had a slightly different idea: In addition to the cleaner, clutter-free surfaces, the place is well-stocked with pillows in an effort to promote cabin-crew pillow fights.
The pilots have their own separate sleeping compartment. It features the same privacy curtains suspended from ceiling-mounted tracks that you see in the flight attendants' bunk room.
In this photo, shot by The Flying Engineer, we see the 6'3" Captain Pat Bearce is able to stretch out in one of these comfortably.

Etihad's new Airbus A380 Superfly suites
Superflyers love flying business or first. The single most sought after loyalty perk is the free upgrade from economy to business class or from business to first :) followed by the access to the lounge and VIP treatment in boarding, luggage or check-in.
Emirates and Etihad have always been head to head in offering top amenities to their elite business travelers but we think this one takes the cake. Etihad Airways’ new Airbus A380 first class suites will feature a stunning extra-large private VIP suite dubbed The Residence, along with nine First Apartments, in an extraordinary ‘reimagining’ of luxury air travel.
Etihad’s Airbus A380 First Class: The Residence
The Residence is a three-room private VIP cabin with its own dedicated Savoy Hotel-trained butler as well as a lounge room, two dining tables and a double bed, along with a private shower suite with a four minute run time.
Want to stay at the The Residence? Sign up to Superfly today. www.superfly.com
Measuring an unparalleled 125 square feet in total area, The Residence will be located on the forward upper deck of the airline’s new fleet of Airbus A380s and will be available for single or double occupancy.
Peter Baumgartner, Etihad Airways’ Chief Commercial Officer, said: “The Residence will set Etihad Airways apart from the rest of the industry and allow us to provide the complete range of world-class products and services to cater for the individual tastes of every VIP traveller.
The first of its kind for the superjumbo, Etihad raises the bar in tough competition for well-heeled travellers.
Want to see the inside of The Residence - Bathroom? Sign up to Superfly today. www.superfly.com
The Residence – Bathroom
A door and passageway separate the living room from the master bedroom and the ensuite shower room. The bedroom features a Poltrona Frau upholstered 82 inch long double bed with custom-made mattress, bedside unit, wardrobe, and under-bed stowage for hand luggage.
The living room features a large 32 inch LCD TV, whilst the bedroom boasts its own 27 inch LCD TV.
The communications suite features broadband with internet mobile and data capability, Live TV, HDMI, AC outlet and USB ports.
The Residence is fully Wi-Fi enabled and equipped with the latest Panasonic eX3 entertainment system, controlled by video touch screen and handset.
Etihad’s Airbus A380 First Class: The Apartments
Benefitting from the A380’s size, each First Apartment has a total area of 39 square feet, offering 74 per cent more space than Etihad Airways’ existing First Class suite.

Inside, there’s a 30.3 inch reclining lounge chair and separate full length ottoman which opens into an 80.5 inch long and 26 inch wide fully flat bed.
Adding to the home design touches, the First Apartment includes a chilled mini-bar, personal wardrobe and a separate vanity unit with lit make-up mirrors and stocked with luxury branded amenities.
Vanity
Taking design cues from the best boutique hotels, the First Apartments across the cabin have three separate but complementary colour palettes - chocolate, cashmere and coffee – each with its own accent colour.
The fully-flat bed in the First Apartment
First Class Chefs will provide a five-star restaurant-style service in the sky, with guests able to request dishes prepared to their personal tastes and preferences.
First Class washroom
First Apartment guests have an exclusive shower room, and six apartments have connecting doors for passengers travelling together.
If for some reason you want to leave that plush suite, you can head to The Lobby bar.
The Lobby
Located between the First and Business Class cabins, The Lobby features a lounge and bar area with leather sofas, marquetry table, and large-screen television.
The Lobby
The Residence and First Class Apartments will debut on Etihad’s Airbus A380 superjumbo, which begins flights to London in December this year and will fly to Sydney from the middle of 2015.

Did Malaysian Airline shadow another 777 and fly undetected through India?
Keith Ledgerwood put forward a powerful explanation for the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight 370. Could it be possible that the airline shadowed Singapore Airlines flight 68 and crossed the Indian airspace into Turkmenistan, Iran, China, or Kyrgyzstan?

Keith Ledgerwood backs his theory with material evidence. Is there a sliver of hope that the passengers of flight 370 are actually alive?
