Wealth people can afford to surround themselves with luxury goods everywhere, even during the flights. Thus was created world’s most expensive flying palace. The modified Airbus A380 was designed by a British firm for unknown billionaire from the Middle East. £300 million ‘flying carpet’ includes a turkish bath, ground-to-air holographic projector and concert hall. The turkish bath will be lined with marble only two millimetres thick to reduce weight.

The owner will drive to his plane in his Bentley or Rolls-Royce and have it parked in an onboard garage. A lift will drop to the tarmac and a red carpet unfurl. The interior will be decorated with elegant curves and twirls of Arabic writing, with no ‘gold-plated tap’ vulgarity. Next to it is a ‘well-being’ room with screens as its floor, walls and ceiling that can show thousands of images. A flying palace impression can be created by turning the floor into a live image of the ground below.
