The Emirates First Experience - What to Expect?

[SAB]

when I flew you need to get an Emirates membership number (free) to get free wi-fi. Anyone travelling with you must do the same.

From memory just the seat no and last name.

In my experience in July 2023, the F lounge in DXB is good but champagne options were limited to Moet Brut and Moet Rose, the J lounge (depending on the concourse) has a Moet bar which serves Moet Grand Vintage. This may have changed since then

First lounge at C gates at DXB Terminal 3 had a 2013 Vintage Moët when we passed through in early Jan. Made sure we had a few glasses.

I did read that they had introduced some vintage moet within the first lounges

I have a query regarding the amenity kit. I have flown Emirates First a couple of times in recent years but I can't remember getting an Eyemask and Earplugs.

I have watched a few Emirates First Youtubes and I didn't see them displayed either.

Can anyone confirm if they are included, or can I ask for them or should I bring my own? I find it hard to sleep long haul without them!

From memory you need to ask for them as they dont come with the PJs or within the amenity kit

 

[gdm73]

Thanks for the information everyone. I will remember to ask when I fly again in May.

Looking at the menu on my upcoming EK F flight DXB-SIN departing 2am... the options are for breakfast and lunch, but I choose to have two lunches instead?

Emirates is dine on demand so the chances are they'll be able to assist you in some way.

Yes they are included, I travelled with Emirates on a long haul 14 hours a few weeks ago.They are not included for flights on the shorter 5 to 6 hour hops to Europe.

 

[CaptJCool]

I found on the shorter flights you needed to ask for things

On the Longer flights, PJs and an amenity pack were provided without asking

Yada yada cost cutting measure

My experience also, DXB - MLE didn't have any amenity kits or PJs in F, they also mentioned that normally they don't offer dine on demand due to the short flight but since it was 4 pax in F it was offered

May I ask, what are the usual inclusions on DXB-BKK? Would have thought amenity kits, or at least some of the contents, would be available on request but what about PJs?

Its a 6 hour flight, I have flown DXB - WAW which is similar & from memory, when I asked I received everything including PJ's & amenity kit.

But I havent flown that BKK leg on EK

We purchased a last minute upgrade to Emirates first class in May last year - Prague to Sydney. Our first time ever.
The whole experience was absolutely incredible - from the upgraded limo to the airport, the Dom Peringnon you are offered as you take your seat on the plane, the basket of treats in each cubicle, the a la carte menu, which you can order at any time, the wonderful amount of space in your private cubicle, the lie flat beds where your feet don't have to fit under the seat in front, the attentive first class team.

Our flight Prague to Dubai, we were the only first class passengers, so we had the entire team looking after us, pre-empting our every possible need or desire.
It was on the 777, so no shower, which wasn't needed at that stage.

Immediately on leaving the plane in Dubai we were met in the tunnel by an Emirates representative who guided us through to first class lounge in another area of the airport. Firstly we were placed in an extremely luxurious limo which drove us to the transfer bus. We were delighted to find that the transfer bus was exclusively for first class, hopped on and sat in the individual lounge chairs for the rest of the transfer - so easy & comfortable. We were then guided to the lounge to check in. We only had a short transfer time, so we didn't have time to indulge in any of the complimentary spa treatments - just time for a quick drink.

The second leg was in a 380, so the crew booked us in for showers a couple of hours before we landed.

More Dom and my husband indulged in very expensive Scotch and Cognac and a large plate of fine caviar with seven accompaniments including melba toast, egg, chives, white onions, sour cream and lemon. He was offered more if he wanted it.

For dinner we both had rack of lamb - yummo.

I popped into my complimentary PJs shortly after taking off, and actually managed to get a few hours sleep within the 14 - 15 hour flight. Another first for me.

Lots more great stuff, but I have to go out now.

I think I am now officially spoilt for Business Class even.

Wonderful, wonderful experience. Do yourself a favour.
