Emirates presents diamond-encrusted aircraft, calls it Bling 777 (PHOTOS)

Emirates Airline has posted a picture of a plane covered in diamonds and crystals.

The Emirates ‘Bling’ 777 – which many regard as a reference to the Boeing 777 aircraft – was pictured alongside baggage carts and shuttle bus vehicles, an otherwise everyday travel image aside from the plane’s spectacular embellishment.

The airline introduced the spectacular sight via its verified Twitter handle, @emirates:

Maybe invest in your customer service department before you try this for real. Rude & unhelpful staff in #Dubai #FlyBetterDontFlyEmirates

I can't believe people thought this was real. It blatantly isn't.
