Emirates Airlines is so cool

To fly Business Class, you pay more than double that of Economy Class, but it's worth it (no we did not pay for it, but normally we do fly Biz) i guess this was a lesson in morals for my brother and sister who have hardly flown Economy fare flights, with those tiny seats. a flight from here to Dubai is six hours, and a flight from here to India is 8 hours, and when flying to India we normally go Biz. Anyways, that's off topic. The real reason of the post is: Emirates Airlines has two cameras place on the aircrafts body that let you, the passenger, have a front view (like that of the pilot's) and a downward view. The frontal view is coolest when approaching for landing, or taking off. The downward view is the best when in flight, and you get to see what is below you without getting a window seat, or cramping your neck because you have been staring at the window the whole time. just thought i'd let you know.
 
Japan Airlines has that. It also has a personal tv/videogame player that lets you pick movies/music/games/map. in economy class too.
 
I know Boeing is testing external cameras for the pilots in some of there upcomming releases. It can come in pretty handy.

And yea, that is pretty sweet. I'd love to watch the take-offs and landings.

edit: here it is, linked
 
i guess i didn't mention that, but so did Emirates Airlines. as well as Singapor Airlines about 5 years ago, when i once flew them for the fun of it.
 
ye... emirates is great.... looking forward to trying out the nonstop flight from new york to dubai.. hopefully it wll surpass Malaysia airlines excellant service..

Dubai - Vegas for fundamentalists.
No, thank you, I'd rather live in some less conservative country.

Singapore Airlines has great features for "business economy" class. 🙂 No cameras, though, but in-flight video games and movies (and snacks!) are included.
 
business class is just bigger economy class seats with extra services, and better looking environment, esp quieter. they're pretty much all the same for all the airlines. it's when you look at the first classes the differences come up
