From scooping the coveted Skytrax World’s Best Airline in 2016 and Tripadvisor’s Best Airline 2017 to winning Skytrax's Best Inflight Entertainment award for the 13th time in a row, Emirates has garnered over 500 international awards. And, it comes as no surprise, with the airline featuring the likes of industry-leading seats, the world’s largest fleet of A380s and Boeing 777s, and a truly comprehensive network of worldwide destinations. Departing from six UK airports – Heathrow, Gatwick, Birmingham, Newcastle and Glasgow – Emirates flies, via Dubai, to everywhere from Australia and New Zealand to Japan and China. What's more, all Emirates A380s and most Boeing 777s feature complimentary WiFi.

Business Class

Flying Emirates’ Business Class, you’ll enjoy the airline’s signature world-class service before you’ve even boarded. Indeed, a complimentary private-chauffeur transfer and fast-track immigration will see you to an exclusive airport lounge, where gourmet dining is complemented by with free-pour champagne. Then, once settled into your fully flat, 6.5-foot bed, you’ll be treated to the likes of an in-seat minibar, curated entertainment that includes live TV and sommelier-paired dining served on china plates. However, it’s perhaps the walk-up Onboard Lounge on the A380s that gets the most attention. Here, you can mix with fellow travellers over nibbles and mixologist cocktails. Lastly, the luxurious Bulgari amenities are a welcome touch.

First Class

Having won the Best First Class Comfort Amenities at Skytrax 2017, Emirates’ lead cabin is sheer indulgence. Along with all the fineries of Business, there’s the delightful exclusivity of having your very own Private Suite. Sliding the doors closed, relax on a fully flat mattress in your private cinema, complete with sheepskin-like blankets and vanity table. You’ll also be treated to wine-paired gourmet dining that’s served at a time that suits you, washed down with cocktails and champagne. Then, refresh in the A380s’ onboard Shower Spa where you can pamper yourself with an organic seaweed skincare range by award-winning Irish brand Voya. There’s even sleepwear that releases nutrient-rich sea kelp, preventing dehydration and stimulating circulation.

Economy Class

In between it all, you’ll tuck into regionally inspired dining, taken with complimentary wines, beers and spirits.
