Outbound passengers from Dubai can maximize their time in the city—finishing business meetings, enjoying extended shopping, or completing last-minute activities—before the evening flight to London.
Emirates' new aircraft boasts three completely new classes, 32 business class seats (fully flat-bed) in a 1-2-1 configuration, 28 premium economy seats, and 238 economy class seats. Business class passengers on the aircraft will have access to wireless mobile charging, electric window blinds with a wood motif in the premium class, in-flight digital menus on service screens, and more.
