Tuning in the plane’s tailcam on your in-seat display is just one of the several amenities awaiting you on Emirates Air. For a $10k first class ticket, you get a suite - not a seat - and can even take a shower.

For $1.99: Use this application to receive a real-time update of the US National Threat Level from the Department of Homeland Security.
