The United Arab Emirates' airline that has repeatedly been voted the best in the world, Emirates, continues to invest in first-class passengers' luxury experience with the launch of a "serene sleep in Emirates’ fully enclosed First Class suites".
The new move includes new pajamas, upgraded bed linens, a meticulous bedtime ritual, new serving utensils, spa toiletries in the showers on A380 aircraft, and new-generation headphones.
As part of the upgrade, first class passengers on select flights will receive comfortable clothing, slippers, and new eye masks.

The set features relaxed-fit shirts and pants suitable for both lounge and private First Class suites, with soft pink and light gray for women and a mix of gray tones for men. The slippers have an extra-soft insole, and the eye masks are lined with a silky-touch fabric.
New 300-thread-count cotton bedding, including pillows, pillowcases, and mattress covers, will also be introduced on the planes starting next year. The move is designed to complement the sleeping experience in private suites, which feature a seat that converts into a flat bed and an automatic door for complete privacy.
The "sleep ritual" in first class was inspired by a luxury hotel suite and includes a bed arrangement with a blanket, chamomile-scented pillow spray, and luxury chocolates from international boutique brands.
The Shower Spa experience on the A380 will also be refreshed with new mirrors in a polka-dot stone design. Passengers will be able to choose between the Tranquility collection, scented with lavender and eucalyptus, and the Revitalise collection. Both collections include shampoo, conditioner, body wash, moisturizer, and face wash.
New Food Options and Entertainment Innovations
The airline will also introduce new crystal glassware for serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, cocktails, iced coffee, and premium beverages. In addition, they will launch a dedicated glass for luxury brandy, and cognac served in first class.

The headphones will offer significantly improved noise cancellation, more natural sound quality, and enhanced comfort for long flights, while fully integrating with the airline’s in-flight entertainment system.
