Never got to sidle up to the inflight bar on an Emirates A380 and enjoy a drink? The opportunity hasn't passed you by yet, and you won't even need a ticket if you're the lucky winner at Airbus's charity auction of a retired super-jumbo.
The online auction will take place this Thursday to Saturday in Toulouse, France, although most bidders will likely be remote; the details are on Airbus's auction page. Different lots are available each day; the bar is part of the Friday offering. It's likely to go into five-figure range or beyond; it might be a hot item either for an individual or a restaurant with an aviation theme. The bar benches are a separate item.
Not all items are unique to a day; rows of seats are available daily, as are exit signs, beverage cars and more, including a wicked-looking tool created specially for breaking open the lavatory door in case of an emergency.
