Onboard Dining

Refining the smaller details of hospitality and service, the latest enhancements onboard Emirates’ First Class include a newly designed keepsake menu. Guests can discover the heritage of rare bottles handpicked from renowned châteaux, with full tasting profiles and suggested pairings for an elevated dining experience.

First Class guests will now enjoy their unlimited caviar in pristine new Emirates engraved bowls. These have been designed by Robert Welch to complement Emirates’ existing range. Emirates First Class cheeseboard has also been enhanced, presented on a rustic slate, with accompanying bowls and a wooden honey dipper, in addition to its array of artisan cheeses and chutneys.

What to Expect on Emirates First Class

Storage and Privacy

Our experience felt similar to a private room in the sky, as Emirates offers First Class customers spacious, private suites above the clouds. Innovative technologies in Emirates First Class suites include electronically controlled privacy doors on some aircrafts, with personal temperature controls and adjustable mood lighting on others. The A380 suite features 14 Private Suites with fully flat beds, set in a 1-2-1 configuration, located on the upper deck.

Emirates First Class offers customers soft mattresses and pillows, cotton-lined duvets, plus a faux sheep-skin blanket on the Game Changer suites. Guests are offered Hydra Active Moisturising pyjamas, with matching slippers and an eye mask.

The collaboration between Emirates and luxury Italian designer brand, Bvlgari, means passengers receive exclusive amenity kits on select routes in First Class.
