Get the full royal treatment with three of the world’s best first class experiences, where nothing is too much to ask for

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 receive Bvlgari amenity kits and are served wild caviar and free-flowing 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 Airways’ 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.
