Emirates is known for having one of the best first class products in the sky and is superbly rated. Emirates has three first class products. The most well-known is the the Emirates first class suite cabin, with a number of features that make for a universally positive experience. This product is found on the A380 and some 777’s. Older Emirates 777’s have a non-suite product that is still good, but not at the same level.

Generally, the IFE on Emirates is also considered to be top notch, with a great screen and an incredible selection of entertainment. Foodand drink are superb, and the service is considers excellent. As if that isn’t enough, Emirates A380 aircraft have a huge bathroom with a shower for first class passengers, and an in-air bar. This makes for a rare treat in the sky. WiFi is the one amenity with poor ratings, so business travelers should be aware of that limitation.
