Emirates Unveils New Onboard Lounge

Emirates is known for pulling out all the stops to present the best in airline travel, from offering top-notch airport lounges to serving up the best Champagnes (2006 Dom Pérignon anyone?). So it comes as no surprise that the airline is again making waves at 39,000 feet.

At ITB Berlin last week, the airline unveiled its multi-million dollar cabin enhancements which includes a new version of the Airbus A380 Onboard Lounge which will make its operational debut this July.

Emirates’ latest A380 Onboard Lounge will offer more seating space with a new seating arrangement along the windows on both sides of the bar. Inspired by private yacht cabins, each seating area will have a table and window view. Overall, the lounge can accommodate up to 26 passengers at a time, including 8 seated.

Emirates will also introduce soundproof curtains to partition the Onboard Lounge area from the other cabins, put in additional soft ambient lighting options, new window blinds with integrated LED mood lighting, and subwoofers for surround sound. The lounge also features a 55 inch LCD screen. Guests can indulge in gourmet canapés, handpicked wines from around the world and limited edition fine spirits, as well as signature cocktails prepared by the bartender.

Other indulgent perks onboard Emirates planes are: First Class Private Suites and Shower Spas; flat Business Class pods with personal mini-bars; spacious and quiet cabins; onboard Wi-Fi; and widescreen TVs with more than 2,500 channels of movies, TV programs, music and podcasts.
