Emirates is known for having one of the best first class products, but their business class offering is also very competitive and a great product unto itself. Emirates business class reviews note that the seat is good, with “blingy” finishes. IFE and drink are rated consistently as excellent, while food and service are rated as great. Emirates is also known for their in-air bar, which both first and business class passengers can access. The weakest offerings are the WiFi and bedding, which are rated as relatively below average, although part of this low rating is driven by the lack of blankets on shorter-haul flights, according to reviewers.

What to Look Forward To: Excellent IFE system and drink program, in-air bar on the A380

What to Watch Out For: Mediocre bedding and WiFI
