Lifestyle: Emirates' Service one Step ahead

Emirates Airline is partnering with well-known hotels such as The Dubai Armani Hotel, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, The Address Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel to offer night accommodation and visas for stays of 96 hours for free to its First Class passengers and Business Class with their final destination or stopover in Dubai.

Thus, the First Class passengers can stay for two nights courtesy of Emirates, with breakfast at The Armani Hotel located in the Burj Dubai or Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, located on the Palm Jumeirah Island. Meanwhile the Passengers of the Business Class will receive a gift of a free night accommodation with breakfast at The Address Dubai Marina or Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel.

In addition, passengers staying at The Address Dubai Marina and Armani Hotel Dubai will also have the opportunity to know how it feels being on the roof of the world thanks to VIP tickets to ‘At the Top’ at the Burj Dubai, the tallest building of the planet. Passengers staying at the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray or the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel, however, can enjoy a refreshing day with free access to Wild Wadi Water Park.

Prospective passengers are required to book their trip exclusively in the First Class or Business Class on Emirates from August 1 to September 30, 2011 and manage the reservation before July 31, 2011.

However, Emirates First Class passengers not only enjoy an exclusive treatment before and after the flight but also during the flight.From the moment your personal complimentary chauffeur arrives to pick you up for your first-class flight, Emirates’ dedication to top-notch service and luxury is clear. As you enter the first-class departure lounge of Emirates’ Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport, you can enjoy a number of services designed to ensure a relaxingly luxurious journey — for example shopping, upscale dining, refreshing showers, the Timeless Spa offering express treatments and Le Clos, a top-end wine and liquor shop housing some of the rarest and sought-after labels in the world.

Forget any preconceived notions of airline food. In Emirates’ first-class suites, menus consist of à la carte gourmet cuisine, seven-course meals on long-haul flights and an extensive wine list — including labels like Dom Pérignon, Cakebread Cellars and Château Gruaud-Larose — to provide the perfect pairing for your meal.

For a comfortable and refreshing way to fly, Emirates’ first-class suites provide a unique luxury experience. Long-haul trips will no longer be considered a hassle or an inconvenience — with exceptional service and amenities of Emirates’ first class, you won’t want your flight to end.
