Recently, everyone was touched by a video in which Jennifer Aniston, leaving the SPA shower on the plane, goes to her personal first class cabin, where she meets a little boy Cooper, who is playing with an airplane. They become friends and go for a walk in the business and economy class cabins. At the end of the video, the actress is transferred to economy class, and when the flight attendant asks her if she wants to return to her seat, the actress declares: “No, no, I’m fine here.”
The airline that Aniston became the face of is Emirates. It seems that only they can say: “With us, even in economy class, the passenger receives a very special travel experience that will never be available from other carriers.” The loud statement is confirmed by regular awards. Thus, in 2016, Emirates was recognized as the best airline of the year according to the British research company Skytrax, and in 2017 it was recognized as the best airline in a survey by visitors to the largest travel portal TripAdvisor.
Emirates is based in Dubai, UAE and flies to 150 destinations around the world. The company’s aircraft fly to Bangkok, Sri Lanka and Bali, Australia, the Indian Ocean islands and Africa. We will tell you about the main advantages that apparently determined the outcome of the competition.
Emirates A380
Emirates operates the largest fleet of A380 aircraft in the world: these giant aircraft also fly from Moscow. They are much larger than other aircraft, and the flight on board such an airliner is much calmer – you definitely won’t feel even a hint of turbulence and will be able to completely relax, forgetting that you are in the sky at all. Business class on the A380 aircraft is equipped with a lounge area with a bar and comfortable sofas – not a flight, but a complete pleasure.
Wi-Fi on all flights
Emirates introduced free wireless Internet back in 2015. It’s valid on all A380s and most Boeing 777 flights. Passengers can enjoy 20MB of free data, enough to send an email, post a blog post, write a tweet or post on Facebook, all at an altitude of ten kilometers! If you need to completely hang up the network, then for just $10 you buy 500 MB of traffic. You can even chat with friends on Skype. They will be surprised. What else can you dream of in our age of media and social networks!
Really delicious food
Eating on planes is almost always a challenge, but not when it comes to Emirates. In addition to a wide selection of free drinks (including alcoholic ones),
the airline offers a large assortment of truly delicious and inventive hot dishes for lunch and dinner, and for breakfast it serves such tender croissants that it seems that any Parisian pastry chef could envy them.
Multimedia system ICE
The largest of modern multimedia systems, ICE, includes two and a half thousand channels with films, TV series and music. You can watch Russian films or new Hollywood films (with dubbing),
You can choose cartoons from Cartoon Networks or Disney, or you can choose a new episode of your favorite series. For the convenience of passengers, the system is equipped with touch screens. In short, there is everything here to make even the longest flight comfortable. So, in the 16 hours that the plane flies from Dubai to Auckland, New Zealand (the airline’s longest flight),
you can reconsider the entire “Westworld” and the historical picture that was taken as a basis when creating the series. Skytrax ratings have awarded Emirates entertainment top honors for the 12th year in a row.
Generous baggage allowance
Emirates’ baggage allowance is one of the most generous in the world. For economy class, baggage weighing from 20 to 35 kilograms is allowed, in business class – up to 40 kilograms more. Also, in any Emirates class of service, a passenger can, in addition to their baggage allowance, check in a set of golf clubs and one pair of golf shoes free of charge – luxury rules in a luxury company.
Today, the Emirates fleet includes over 250 wide-body aircraft, which are constantly updated and meet the highest global standards. The company is one of the world’s largest air transport companies, and for many years has been ranked first in the world in terms of flight volumes.
