Flying emirates A380 First Class is a bucket list experience for any aviation geek. When it launched in 2008, it was absolutely groundbreaking, but does it still deliver 17 years later?
Love: Onboard bar and lounge, domperignonofficial , unlimited caviar and pristine bathrooms complete with showers.
Like: the suite itself is no longer ground breaking (and hasn’t fundamentally changed since it launched), but is spacious with privacy and large IFE.
Improve: WiFi is painfully slow and Emirates has made it much harder than ever to redeem miles for first class awards (though both of my legs were 100% full, so that doesn’t appear to be an issue!) Luckily Emirates is a Chase Sapphire Points Boost airline meaning you can usually redeem points at 2 cents a piece to buy flights, which is how I redeemed for this flight (at roughly the same amount of miles as it would have cost to fly United business class home!)
Have you flown Emirates first class? Did it live up to the hype?
