Our Long Beach Bureau Chief took this awe inspring shot on 7/6/14.

Aircraft was operating as EK 216; nonstop to DXB - 15 hrs, 50 minutes and 8,320 miles (13,400 km).

A first class one-way ticket is only $24,529.90. But who wants to go to Dubai one-way?

Boarding area inside the Bradley Terminal.

Business Class on the upper deck. 

The A380 has a camera on the tail fin that can be accessed by passengers. This is a picture of our reporter's touch screen showing the plane and the new terminal.

Man, we feel kinda stupid today for believing that apocolypse crap yesterday.

Oh well, I guess it's not the end of the world ...

Now where were we. Another LBBC shot from LAX.

They say those big Airbusses are, "runway hogs." This shot was taken down along the beach, and she's still cycling gear.
