Cabin Features

With our award winning, international cabin crew and one of the youngest, most modern fleets in the skies, our aim is to provide the most comfortable, relaxing environment for your travels.

We are constantly improving the inflight experience. New aircraft, new seats, and innovations in service mean a better flight for all classes.

Emirates First Class offers exceptional standards of luxury and service.

Wide aisles and an airy, expansive environment mean more room for each passenger. And supremely comfortable sleeper seats mean that you should arrive at your destination refreshed, even on long journeys.

An advanced hand-held controller lets you personalise your experience, from adjusting your seat to selecting a movie. And seven course meals on longhaul flights, a selection of fine wines, and award winning inflight entertainment add up to a stylish, refreshing flight.

Meanwhile, our multilingual cabin crew will make you feel at home, and are renowned for providing thoughtful and discreet service throughout your time with us

BUSINESS CLASS

The experience starts with our award winning service - our cabin crew will see that you have everything you need throughout the flight.

And when it’s time to relax, sleeper seats and lie-flat seats on selected routes provide plenty of room to spread out and get comfortable, and recline to a lie-flat position on many of our aircraft.

We endeavour to provide all of the services and amenities you need to arrive refreshed and ready for the rest of your journey.

ECONOMY CLASS

Our Economy Class is among the best in the industry, and we’re working constantly to make it even better.
