I have flown with Emirates a number of times and have reviewed their long-haul flights in Business Class and First Class.
Privacy, personalized service, and glamour typify Emirates’ cabins, and Emirates recently upgraded the on-board Lounge/Bar on its flagship Airbus A380 aircraft where you can stretch your legs and mingle with other fliers.
We love their First Class product. Gold-clad suites come with a sliding door, a personal mini-bar, and adjustable ambient lighting. At night, the crew will convert your seat to a super comfy, fully flat bed with a mattress so you can arrive at your destination totally refreshed. First Class private suites are available on all Emirates Airbus A380 and A340-500 aircraft and most Boeing 777 aircraft. First Class cabins on other aircraft offer flat-bed seats or deeply reclining comfort seats.
Emirates have introduced the world’s first moisturizing pajamas designed for airline use and to overcome dry air, so passengers get a better nights sleep. They are available to First Class travelers on Emirates overnight long-haul flights.
I rate the Middle Eastern Carriers; Qatar, Etihad and Emirates as the top airlines for First Class and have compared Emirates Vs. Etihad Vs. Qatar Airways to rank which is the best Airline in the Middle East. They all also feature in our top 10 best business class airlines in the world.
All Emirates flights arrive and depart from Emirates Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport. This terminal comprises two concourses: Concourse A (the world’s first A380 purpose-built facility, accommodating 20 air bridge gates) and Concourse B. Both concourses feature Business and First Class lounges. My flight departed from Concourse A, and I have reviewed the Emirates First Class Lounge in Concourse A at Dubai International Airport separately.

Emirates First & Business Class Reviews
Review: Emirates Airbus A380 First Class
I flew First Class on an Emirates Airbus A380, traveling from Dubai (DXB) to Amsterdam (AMS). The privacy of the suite, excellent food, comfortable bedding, onboard shower, amenities, staff, and bar made this a brilliant experience. We also have compared Emirates First Class to British Airways, Etihad, and Qatar in First. Emirates has more than 240 wide-body planes in its fleet, carrying more than 40 million passengers to more than 100 destinations in the world per year. The Dubai-based airliner is also the largest operator of the Airbus A380.

Review: Emirates Airbus A380 Business Class
Emirates Airbus A380 Business Class is one of the best Business Class for long-haul. I flew Business Class in an Airbus A380 of Emirates from Brisbane (BNE) to Dubai (DXB). You can also read our review of the Emirates A380 flight from Dubai to Sydney. Emirates has the most luxurious First Class suites in the sky, excellent Business Class amenity kits in the sky, and delicious airline food. Pre-flight our trip report starts in the Emirates Lounge at Brisbane International Airport.
Review: Emirates B777-200LR Business Class
I reviewed Business Class on the Emirates Boeing 777-200LR, flying from a trip from Brussels to Dubai. The Business Class on this flight extends through two cabins, a small cabin containing two rows of fourteen seats and a second and larger cabin containing 28 seats spread over four rows. A galley kitchen, the Business Class toilets, and the main exit doors are located between these two cabins. The layout is 2-3-2, so not all passengers have aisle access. This means there are seats to avoid on the Emirates B777-200LR if you appreciate a view or aisle access.
I have also investigated which airline offers the best First Class British Airways Vs. Emirates Vs. Etihad Vs. Qatar.
