Flying First Class with Emirates is an unforgettable experience akin to a private hotel room in the clouds, where passengers indulge in exceptional service, luxurious surrounds, and thoughtful, premium amenities.

When travelling First Class you will enjoy your journey from the very beginning, from complimentary Chauffeur-drive* to world-wide airport lounges. From Dom Pérignon champagne with fine caviar to your own personal mini bar and an onboard Shower Spa, here’s what you can expect when travelling First Class onboard the Emirates A380.

When flying on Emirates A380, the First Class experience it as close as it comes to your private jet. Slide the doors closed and unwind in your own Private Suite complete with widescreen TV and savour fine dining whenever the mood takes you. Indulge in the canapes and cocktails on the iconic Onboard Lounge and feel fresh with the on-board Shower Spa, complete with luxurious Bvlgari toiletries, perfect for arriving in style at your destination.

First Class Lounge

The Emirates First Class experience begins from the moment you set foot out your door, with complimentary Chauffeur-driven transfers, both to and from the airport. Then make your way to the Emirates Lounge where you can relax and unwind for the next part of your journey. At Dubai International, you will access the Emirates First Class Lounge where you can dine on a choice of delicious meals, sip a premium drink or visit a spa before you fly. A trip to the Moët and Chandon bar is also a must where you can enjoy Champagne and a delicious selection of canapés.

Award-Winning In-flight Entertainment

An award-winning in-flight entertainment selection awaits with up to 6,500 channels as well as ice TV live, where you can watch live sports events and breaking news in real time and the in-flight WiFi allows you to stay connected to the world as you take to the skies. Choose a movie, order a snack and immerse yourself in the fantastic onboard entertainment. As part of the First Class entertainment experience, you are provided with premium Bowers & Wilkins E1 headphones to ensure you experience superior quality sound onboard. These headphones have been created specifically for Emirates flights and use noise-cancelling technology to block out ambient cabin sounds and deliver the cleanest output to ensure you get the best from the onboard entertainment experience.

A First Class Dining Experience

Emirates are well known for going above and beyond when it comes to culinary options, from sumptuous à la carte cuisine to tasty snacks. Experience the Emirates personal dining service as the culinary delights are brought to you, or stretch your legs during the flight and socialize with other passengers over a handcrafted cocktail in the Onboard Lounge which can be found on all A380 aircrafts.

One of the most notable aspects of the dining options with Emirates is the flexibility as all meals are brought out based on your schedule and preferences through the “dine on demand” service. The regionally inspired menus change on a monthly basis, however always include halal-certified cuisine and vegan offerings. A three-course meal is available on all short, medium, and long-haul flights with Emirates, and First Class passengers can also order from the “cinema in the sky” snack menu, featuring selections like lobster rolls, edamame, and salted popcorn. If you are looking for something special on your journey, partake in the Champagne and caviar experience where you can enjoy generous servings of fine caviar served with seven accompaniments at any time throughout your flights.

With a wide variety of drinks on offer in First Class, this also extends to the wine selection where the options are extensive, including a rotating selection of limited-edition offerings and you will only be served wines that have remained in the Emirates cellar for an average of 12-15 years after purchase to ensure the best quality.

A World Of Your Own in Superior Comfort

Luxurious touches provide top-tier privacy and comfort on the A380 with everything you could wish for during your flight, including ambient light controls, free Wi-Fi, fine dining at any time, the ultimate lounge bar only a short walk away, an onboard shower spa and widescreen televisions as you are spoilt for choice with over 6,500 channels. Take the opportunity to close the privacy doors to create an enclosed suite and relax in a world of your own, turn down the ambient lighting and retreat in your own private cinema.

If you’re looking to get some sleep whilst onboard, the cabin crew will happily convert your seat into a fully flat-bed complete with sheets and a pillow. A kit of bedtime comforts will ensure you get some rest and there’s no need to worry if you have forgotten your pyjamas. A set of Hydra Active pyjamas made from a special material that release natural moisturizers when you move are provided for every First Class flyer along with a pair of comfortable slippers, eye mask, exclusive skincare and spa products plus sleep oil and pillow mist to help ensure you to drift off to a restful sleep.

First Class A380 Shower Spa
