The Complete Guide to Booking Emirates First Class

Flying Emirates First Class is one of the most sought-after aspirational flights for Miles & Points and aviation enthusiasts alike.

With a well-deserved reputation as one of the best premium cabins out there, a dream flight on Emirates First Class tops many travellers’ bucket lists.

In this guide, we’ll cover everything there is to know about Emirates First Class, including what to expect before and during the flight, the routes available, the points required, and booking logistics.

The Emirates First Class Experience

Emirates First Class offers an inflight experience like none other. Most notably, the experience includes being able to take a shower during the flight on the Emirates Airbus A380.

Passengers are also treated to an onboard bar, an ostentatious suite, top-shelf Champagne, and bragging rights for flying on one of the most desired products in the game.

Ground Experience

The Emirates First Class experience begins long before boarding the plane.

Emirates offers chauffeur-drive service to eligible First Class and business class passengers. You’ll be picked up by a chauffeur in a luxury vehicle and driven to the airport in over 75 cities worldwide.

Unfortunately, those who book Emirates First Class with points are not eligible for this benefit, so you’ll have to shell out a lot of cash for the honour.

Upon arrival at the airline’s hub airport in Dubai, Emirates First Class passengers have access to either the cavernous Emirates First Class Lounge located in Concourse B or the more impressive and somehow even larger Emirates First Class Lounge located in Concourse A.

The Concourse A lounge is bigger than many mid-sized international airport terminals, and is jam-packed with many food, seating, and napping options.

In addition, this lounge is unique in that it has an exclusive full-scale duty-free shop, an eloquently-decorated cigar lounge, a games room, a children’s play room, and a complimentary 15-minute spa treatment for First Class passengers at the Timeless Spa.

When it comes time to board, the Concourse A lounge has 24 in-lounge boarding gates that lead almost directly onto the jet bridge.
