Emirates has unveiled a fresh wave of premium enhancements designed to elevate its already award-winning ‘Fly Better’ experience.
From private suites and on-demand gourmet dining to onboard caviar service and ground-to-sky luxury, these latest additions are set to redefine luxury air travel once again.
New details for a more refined experience
Among the newest touches are bespoke keepsake menus featuring stories behind Emirates’ curated wine selection, unlimited caviar served in custom-engraved bowls by Robert Welch, and an upgraded cheese board presented with slate, ceramic and wood accents. Emirates’ signature gloved service continues onboard for that refined personal touch.
Ground-to-air luxury reimagined
In Dubai, Emirates’ First Class Check-In at Terminal 3 is undergoing a refurbishment to reflect the airline’s exclusive in-flight experience. The newly designed space will offer a lounge-style atmosphere with personal check-in services. Globally, Emirates First Class passengers enjoy access to 43 luxury lounges and chauffeur-driven transfers in most destinations.
First Class suites – privacy and comfort in the sky
Emirates’ private suites are often described as ‘hotel rooms in the sky’, offering full privacy, lie-flat beds, climate control, and mood lighting. The A380 features 14 suites on the upper deck, while the B777 ‘Game Changer’ aircraft offers just six floor-to-ceiling enclosed suites with ‘zero gravity’ seats and virtual windows.
Each suite includes ample baggage storage, a personal wardrobe, and a vanity mirror, ensuring guests travel in ultimate comfort and privacy.
Comfort designed for restorative rest
For longer journeys, Emirates offers First Class passengers plush bedding, faux-sheepskin blankets, and Hydra Active pyjamas that release moisturising properties during the flight. Pyjamas come with slippers and an eye mask for full relaxation.
Luxury skincare and fragrance amenities by Byredo and Bulgari add a premium layer to the experience, with each suite stocked with exclusive skincare items, perfumes and lotions, along with designer amenity kits featuring high-end essentials.
Dining on demand and world-class wine
Passengers can enjoy à la carte multi-course dining at any time during the flight, with dishes prepared from seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. The signature offering of unlimited caviar is paired with seven accompaniments and served with a mother-of-pearl spoon. Movie snacks, gourmet vegan options and take-away sweet treats round out the culinary offerings.
As the only airline to serve Dom Pérignon across all global First Class routes, Emirates also delivers a world-class drinks menu that includes premium spirits, aged port, artisan teas and barista-made Lavazza coffee. The airline’s vast wine cellar in France holds over 6 million bottles, with vintages selected for future onboard service — some not due for release until 2037.
Next-level entertainment
Entertainment in Emirates First Class includes a 32-inch HD screen linked to its award-winning ICE system, offering over 6,500 channels of movies, TV, music and podcasts. Passengers enjoy immersive audio through custom Bowers & Wilkins noise-cancelling headphones designed exclusively for Emirates.
A380 extras: shower spas and onboard lounges
On the A380, Emirates First Class passengers have exclusive access to two shower spas stocked with luxury Irish skincare brand Voya. For those looking to socialise at altitude, the A380 also features a First and Business Class Onboard Lounge complete with a full-service bar, lounge seating and a 55-inch screen showcasing the aircraft’s journey.
