<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIt looks very underwhelming. Very few airlines still have the 2-3-2 configuration nowadays in business class, and it does seem very packed. Emirates’ First Class Suite is no doubt a huge breakthrough, but I’m not sure why they didn’t do anything to the business class as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s go back to first class:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nEmirates isn’t the only airline that offers a suite experience in first class or business class, but if I remember correctly their suite is the only one that’s sealed from ceiling to floor. It reminds me of the private boxes you see in some cafes in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are two rows and six suites in first class, and three guests on that day. Here’s how my 2K suite looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nI can’t imagine anyone not being amazed when they see it for the first time! This is far more than just a seat, and definitely not something I had expected to see in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s what a middle suite looks like, which is almost identical:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nA fun detail: as you have observed there are three windows by the middle seat as well. I thought they were wallpapers, but they are actually screens connected to the live camera feed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suite has so many compartments and it’s interesting to find out what they are. There is a desk in front that hides a dressing mirror, plus a notebook and some skincare products.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nit impresses me that each suite has their own minibars, well-stocked and obviously free! Many snacks are in there if you feel peckish when watching a film.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nAt the back there are cabinets for jackets and blankets.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThere isn’t a traditional luggage compartment in the suite, and you definitely don’t need one. There is enough space under the desk for a full-size suitcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The touch screen and control panel by the seat can be used to adjust the inclination and window blinds. The three window blinds can be controlled separately.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe tablet can also display flight information so you don’t have to pause the program you watch on the main screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the left arm there is a small storage cabinet, and more seat controls.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nAnd the the remote control on the right arm.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nMore controls are still to come! There is a panel to adjust the temperature and lighting of your suite on the wall. It also indicates whether the bathroom is being used,<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nYou can change the brightness and colour as you like, and it feels dreamy!<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nAnd I have a new pyjama set to wear at home \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nSomehow they didn’t proactively offer me the amenity bag, but of course I had to request one.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nI own a Bvlgari now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The noise-cancelling headset:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe IFE content is just incredible! There are tens of, if not in the hundreds 2022 new releases.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nAnd a few live TV channels:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIt’s virtually a mini cinematic experience!<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nFirst Class passengers can enjoy the wi-fi for free, providing that your booking is linked to a Skywards number. The wi-fi is good enough for messaging and browsing, but good luck if you want to stream videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s have a look at catering, starting with an Arabic coffee and a date:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nDrinks:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe ONLY champagne on offer is Dom Perignon, which retails for around \u00a3200 a bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nUnfortunately I’m not a big fan of champagne, otherwise I could get more back from my 85,000 miles…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And food:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe amuse-bouche, which I think is foie gras and salmon:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nHow can I not order the caviar?<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe caviar is great. I didn’t know you could actually order as much as you want, which I regret for not doing…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tomato consomme:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nLamb bukhari looks quite different to what Google Image told me. I guess they have presented it in a nicer way as we are in first class.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBaklava:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe snack menu:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nI ordered the edamame and beef sliders:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nHonestly, most food is just so-so except for the caviar and baklava. I would just eat the caviar next time…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The door and blind have got the luxury feel.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nSeat in flat mode:<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThis is probably the most ordinary part of the suite. Obviously it’s comfortable enough, but far from being a real bed and not that different from any other first class or even business class seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lavatory:<\/p>\n\n\n
