Dubai International Airport’s Terminal 3 has welcomed a new era of luxury travel with the official opening of ‘Emirates First’, an exclusive check-in experience designed for Emirates’ First Class passengers and Skywards Platinum members.
As the world’s largest operator of international First Class travel, Emirates continues to invest in premium services that enhance every aspect of the journey. With 26,800 First Class seats available each week, the airline has introduced this dedicated space to ensure a seamless, private and highly personalised start to the travel experience.
From the moment guests arrive at Terminal 3, a grand golden entrance marks the way into a serene and beautifully designed private space. The interiors feature warm earth tones, marble floors, soft carpeting and plush leather seating, accented with Emirates’ signature bronze and gold finishes. Details such as Rolex clocks, an extravagant floral display, and a striking backlit Ghaf Tree pay homage to Emirates’ First Class lounges and aircraft interiors.
Passengers can complete check-in formalities from the comfort of their seats with iPad assistance, while families can relax together as baggage is seamlessly processed on dedicated First Class belts. Once through security, guests are invited to enjoy one of Emirates’ three First Class lounges, offering à la carte dining, fine wines, Champagne, complimentary spa treatments, and concierge shopping services.
The opening of Emirates First follows a series of recent investments in premium services. Earlier this year, the airline introduced refined onboard touches, including bespoke Robert Welch bowls for unlimited caviar, artisan cheeseboards, and an enhanced gloved service.
With 43 dedicated lounges worldwide and complimentary chauffeur-drive transfers in most destinations, Emirates continues to curate an uncompromisingly luxurious First Class journey from door to destination.
