FLYING HIGH
SUITE DREAMS
Get the full royal treatment with three of the world’s best first class experiences, where nothing is too much to ask
Emirates First Class
Emirates’ new first class suites onboard its B777-300ER aircraft are the first in the industry to be fully enclosed, with sliding doors that extend all the way from the cathedral-like ceiling to the floor. Each suite features its own temperature control unit and you can request room service, as you would in a five-star hotel, via the video call function of your personal entertainment system.
It is also the first airline to have found a creative solution to the unpopular middle seats. On its new 777s, Emirates has installed virtual windows, and the view is exactly the same as through the real windows. Needless to say, Emirates’ onboard experience offers unparalleled luxury: passengers recieve Bulgari amenity kits and are served wild caviar and free-flow Dom Pérignon, while the fully flat beds can be placed in a “zero-gravity” position inspired by NASA technology, giving a feeling of relaxation and weightlessness.
Etihad Airways The Residence
Arguably the closest experience to a private jet in commercial aviation, Etihad’s A380 The Residence continues to set the benchmark in first class travel. The Residence is a three-room private suite that can accommodate up to two people. Upon entry, guests see the living room, which features a gorgeous sofa; it is also has a separate bedroom and a private bathroom with shower.
