Emirates’ First Class experience continues to set the industry standard, as evidenced by their sweep of three awards.
These were “Best First-Class Airline Comfort Amenities,” “Best First-Class Airline in the Middle East,” and “Best First-Class Onboard Catering in the Middle East.”
Passengers can expect a smooth journey from start to finish, beginning with complimentary chauffeur service to and from the airport. From there they have access to a network of over 39 exclusive airport lounges worldwide.
