As you may know from au Heesun and I er Post,nded up buying a Trip to Dubai for $650 RT (from San Francisco, California). We flew Economy Class with Emirates Airlines, and though I didn’t think much of it when I booked it, a lot of friends reacted with surprise. “You’re flying with Emirates? That’s like the Four Seasons of airlines!”
ECONOMY CLASS
The main deck is completely dedicated to the Economy Class. You will find 407 standard seats all equipped with a wide screen, USB charger and a socket in a 3-4-3 configuration.
BUSINESS CLASS
Business Class is located on the upper deck together with First Class, which you will find more towards the front of the upper deck. All 76 seats convert into a flat bed up to 79 inches just with a simple touch of a button.
I personally enjoyed the mini bar and the big working space with a power supply for my laptop while enjoying some good movies on the large screen just in front of you. As a Business Class passenger you also have access to the Emirates Sky Bar. It's a great way to socialise with other travellers or your friends. FIRST CLASS
Even a well experienced first class traveller will be surprised. Emirates offers 14 individual suites for its prestigious passengers which also comes with a spa. Yes, you have heard right! You will find a proper hot water shower on board, the perfect refreshment after a 10 hour flight.
SERVICE
Emirates was awarded as the best airline in the world by Skytrax in 2013 for the first time ever. That was a great accomplishment and I personally can only agree with it.
I have been on a couple of Emirates flights, including its longest from Los Angeles to Dubai (16hrs) and I've always been very pleased. However, the A380 seems to have a reputation of being very unpopular among airline crew. A high number of passengers requires a lot of work and the top service expected from Emirates means that sometimes the staff give off the impression of being overchallenged. I think the service on the regular Boeing 777 is more personalised and dedicated. FOOD & BEVERAGES
The food on Emirates flights is usually very good and of high quality. You can always choose between several meals. Snacks will also be served and most of the time you will find the cabin crew offering soft drinks and other refreshments.
ENTERTAINMENT
The ICE entertaining system is by far the best I have ever experienced. Not even Qatar Airways or Qantas get anywhere near it. I find it easy to use, the content is first class and the range of movies, TV series and games is unbeatable.
It's easy to use and the responsiveness of the screen is almost as perfect as an iPad. It does make a major difference especially on a 16 hour flight. I mostly fly with Emirates because of the awesome entertainment they offer to their passengers regardless of class.
