On Ground Services

If you're a First Class passenger, you'll be able to enjoy a complimentary chauffeur-driven service. A chauffeur will collect you from your home or office and when you touch down at your destination, a chauffeur will take you to your desired location. The chauffeur-drive service is currently available from the Emirates departure airports. For First and Business class passengers checking in from Dubai, as well as Gold and Silver members of Skywards, Emirates offers a unique check-in 'lounge'. The light and spacious new lounge has been designed to make sure your passage through the airport is as smooth and hassle-free as possible, with a modern design that offers the ultimate in comfort and luxury.

Lounges

The Emirates Lounge offers a place of refuge whilst you wait for your flight and is available to First and Business Class passengers. You can now relax in the lounges in Auckland, Bangkok, Brisbane, Dubai, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, London Gatwick, London Heathrow, Melbourne, Munich, New York's John F. Kennedy, Paris' Charles de Gaulle, Perth, Singapore and Sydney. In the lounge you can enjoy a selection of food and beverages. The large buffet and full bar service will help revive you with an emphasis on fresh, healthy, wholesome food. Early birds can enjoy a breakfast selection, while later in the day, guests can select from Arabic, Far Eastern, Western or vegetarian cuisine. For those with a sweet tooth, the array of desserts will prove irresistible. A fully-equipped Business Centre with independent work stations and complimentary broadband and wireless LAN access means you can work up until your flight.

First Class Seat

Emirates First Class private suites (Available on Airbus A340-500, Airbus A380, Boeing B777-200LR, Boeing 777-300ERs) are finished in fine leather and genuine walnut, with subtle gold accents, the First Class cabin exudes refined comfort. Its First Class suites are arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration for maximum privacy and an uncommon degree of space. By removing the overhead storage lockers, Emirates have increased the available headroom to allow even taller passengers to comfortably stand and move about the cabin with ease. The First Class cabin's advanced lighting system has been designed to further increase your comfort, replicating natural light as closely as possible. From the supreme comfort of your leather seat, which at the press of a button can be converted to a fully-flat bed, everything you might need is within your reach. An advanced hand-held mode controller allows you to personalise your experience, from ordering a meal to selecting a movie. Your privacy is, of course, paramount. And so your mode controller also allows you to close the doors to your suite, and to raise and lower a privacy screen to separate your from your fellow travellers. If you are travelling in a centre suite, your mode controller can also be used to raise or lower the privacy screen that separates you from the adjacent suite, depending on your personal preference.
