Emirates has decided to offer its premium passengers the chance to refresh themselves some 30,000 feet in the air while onboard the airline’s Airbus A380 aircraft.

Fourteen people in the first class cabin will have access to the two showers during the trip. The passengers will book their 25-minute slots, which will include five minutes in the shower itself and some extra time to dry themselves off and get dressed again. A dial in the cubicle itself will allow them to keep track of time. In between each passenger, an onboard janitor will clean the facility for the next customer.

Emirates is the second airline to take delivery of the A380, having ordered 58 of the giant aircraft.

The A380 is capable of handling 525 passengers, and Airbus claims that it is more fuel efficient than its rivals.

Ooh la la! This is way cooler than the shower I got at home! And this, in an airplane? Oh wow!
