Our Travel Experts' recommendations
Though both airlines offer the very best when it comes to First Class travel, the First Class experience onboard Emirates is world renowned. On board the Emirates A380, you can refresh mid-flight in the signature shower spa. The state-of-the-art shower system features an attractive walnut and marble design, fine linens, and luxurious shower kit. When you’re ready for a snack, drink or some time out, enjoy access to the A380’s onboard lounge. With a selection of delicious meals, fine wines and cocktails, you’ll feel like you’re travelling in your own private jet.
