Emirates Elevates Luxury Travel with New First Class Enhancements
Emirates, the world’s largest operator of international First Class travel, has unveiled a series of opulent new enhancements to its renowned First Class service, reaffirming its status as a global leader in luxury aviation. With over 26,800 First Class seats available weekly, all in private suites, Emirates continues to set the benchmark for exceptional air travel.
The airline’s latest offerings go beyond the sky-high comfort it’s known for, introducing bespoke touches such as a keepsake menu that tells the story of its wine selection, enhanced cheese and caviar presentations, and gloved cabin service—all curated to heighten the onboard dining experience.
First Class passengers now indulge in unlimited caviar served in newly designed Emirates-engraved bowls by Robert Welch, while an expanded cheese board comes elegantly presented on rustic slate with artisanal accompaniments. Meanwhile, the newly revamped First Class Check-In area at Dubai International Airport’s Terminal 3 will soon debut with personalized service and a luxurious lounge ambiance.
Across its A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft, Emirates offers unmatched privacy and space. The A380 features 14 flat-bed suites in a 1-2-1 layout, while the Game Changer B777 boasts six floor-to-ceiling private suites in a 1-1-1 layout, complete with zero-gravity seating and virtual windows. Select aircraft even include video call service for in-suite room service requests.
Each suite features ample storage, including wardrobes and overhead compartments, and passengers enjoy a 50kg baggage allowance. Comfort is paramount, with Hydra Active pyjamas that hydrate the skin, plush bedding, and amenity kits by Byredo and Bulgari, offering premium skincare and exclusive fragrances.
Dining in Emirates First Class is available at any time during the flight, with a gourmet à la carte menu featuring locally sourced ingredients, vegan options, and a movie snacks menu that includes wagyu sliders and lobster rolls. Passengers can also request premium chocolates and sweets to take away.
The airline remains the only carrier serving Dom Pérignon in First Class globally. The drinks menu includes Stoli Elit vodka, Glenmorangie Signet whisky, and Hennessy Paradis Cognac, among others. Emirates also boasts the largest in-flight wine cellar, storing over 6 million bottles, some reserved for service as late as 2037.
Passengers enjoy the award-winning ice entertainment system with over 6,500 channels on 32-inch HD screens, paired with Bowers & Wilkins E1 noise-canceling headphones crafted for maximum comfort and sound quality.
On the Emirates A380, First Class guests can access luxurious Shower Spas with heated floors and organic Irish VOYA products, and socialize in the Onboard Lounge, complete with a fully stocked bar and a 55-inch LCD screen displaying the aircraft’s journey.
Emirates First Class passengers benefit from complimentary chauffeur drive services and access to 43 luxury airport lounges globally, ensuring a seamless and indulgent travel experience at every stage.
