Even at ground level cooking a fancy meal can be tricky. The fact that airlines can make restaurant-quality meals happen under those constraints — at least in premium cabins — is pretty awesome.
What did I think? Read on to find out! Cheers: Great combination of service and product. Jeers: If you have wide shoulders, avoid the center seat — even in business class. Overall: Emirates makes a 14 hour flight easy. With the wood paneling, the Business Class really has a warm atmosphere. Notice the real flowers on the bulkhead. On March 1st, Emirates started flying from Seattle to Dubai non-stop.
I was invited to try out Emirates Business Class product on one of their recent flights the airline covered the costs of the flight. This review will be a mixture of both my flight to and from Dubai — although I slept most of the way home. The benefits of sitting in a premium cabin starts well before you get to the gate, but only once you arrive to the airport. With Emirates, the benefits of flying in Business Class starts at home.
If you fly in either Business or First class you have access to a free chauffeured car within 60 miles of your arriving or departing airport. Unfortunately I did not do my homework before leaving and did not find out about that service until I was in Dubai thanks Ben for the ride to the airport by the way.
However, I was able to make use of the service when coming home and it is always great having someone greeting you with your name on a sign that escorts you right to your front door in a Town Car. Having a Business Class ticket normally gives you access to a lounge at the airport and flying Emirates out of Seattle is no different. Passengers who have either first or business class tickets are able to use the new Club International lounge before their flight.
