Holidays are great but travelling can be exhausting
We all know the struggle of trying to find the perfect balance between comfort and affordability when it comes to booking an airline, especially if you're planning on flying long distance!
The Emirates Economy Class leads the international market for this very reason. While its First and Business Classes focus on luxury, the amazing Economy Class delivers comfort throughout for you and your family (particularly if you're travelling with little ones!)
With school holidays coming up, now is the perfect time to start planning your year-end vacation! Here's why Emirates is the top airline to get you to your destination:
1. Emirates has the largest fleet of Airbus A380 in the world, with 104 aircrafts currently in service
The A380 is the world's largest passenger airliner by a lot. It can carry 113 more passengers than the 747-400 in a typical seating configuration. The Emirates A380 is well known for it's comfort and ample leg room, making Economy Class enjoyable and relaxing for passengers.
2. Explore the award-winning 3D map online to see seating options and in-flight features before you even step foot on the airplane
It's a cool way to envision being on the flight and picking your preferred seat! Plus, you can also head over to Business Class and First Class in virtual reality to check out the private suites and personal minibar ;)
3. Emirates in-flight entertainment, known as “ICE”, has been awarded ‘World’s Best Airline In-flight Entertainment’ at the Skytrax World Airline Awards for 14 consecutive years
Emirates currently have the widest in-flight screens in Economy Class. There are 3,500 entertainment channels to choose from, including movies, music, TV series, and video games. You will never get bored!
4. There's free in-flight Wi-Fi so you can enjoy Internet access in the sky
Most Emirates flights provide up to 20MB of free Wi-Fi within the first two hours of log in across all your devices.
5. Enjoy 3-course gourmet meals with dishes from the country of your destination
Emirates is known for its yummy and satisfying food portions, all included in your airfare. From full meals to light snacks in between, your tummy will definitely be happy.
6. Get free flow of cocktails, wines, and other drinks throughout the flight
Whether you want to unwind with a steaming hot cup of tea or relax with a delicious cocktail, Emirates cabin crew is ready to serve you.
7. If you have children, they will absolutely love the gift packs and non-stop entertainment
Young flyers will receive special plushies called Fly With Me Animals, while older kids get the Lonely Planet Kids packs. They will definitely make you wish you were a child again.
8. But don't worry, as an Economy traveller, you'll also get a brand new interactive amenity kit
The interactive, water-resistant amenity kit comes in six different colours and designs. Not only are they stylish, they also consist of travel essentials to help you arrive feeling fresh. On top of that, the kits use augmented reality (AR) technology and allow you to unlock entertainment on your mobile devices!
9. At night, the airplane's ceiling will light up so you can sleep under the stars
The plane has really cool interior mood lighting, which can simulate dawn, dusk, and twilight, depending on what time you're travelling. When the sun is going down, the lighting changes from white to orange, then to a soft red, then to a starry night sky.
10. While most airlines only offer 20kg or less, Emirates allows 30kg for each Economy traveller
All that extra weight totally comes in handy when you're shopping for gifts, souvenirs, and everything else during your holiday!
11. The newly refurbished Economy Class cabin includes ergonomically designed seats with full leather headrests
With a new colour palette of soft greys and blues, you'll get to fly in comfort as you relax in ergonomically designed seats that have flexible side panels and can also be adjusted vertically for optimum support.
And of course, with the widest in-flight screens in Economy Class, you'll get to enjoy all the in-flight entertainment in full HD display at the touch of your finger.
