Emirates' First and Business class drop-off
DUBAI AIRPORT
All Emirates flights depart from Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport. First and Business Class passengers have a dedicated check-in terminal
My flight tonight is departing from A gates. Emirates unfortunately do not have a separate train to A get to gates for premium passengers.
Dubai airport is large and has a wide variety of restaurants and shops.
the flight
Today's Aircraft:
Emirates
Airbus A380-800
Registration: A6-EEC
Age: 8 Years
Both first and business class are located on the upper deck, there are 14 first class seats in a 1-2-1 configuration
There are 76 business class seats in a staggered 1-2-1 configuration. In the case of window seats, some of the seats are closer to the window and some are further.
I was seated in 26B which is a window seats (further from the window). This was the last row on the airplane and was the only seat left because the flight was last minute booking. I would not recommend this seat because during the flight the noise from the bar behind can be very bothersome. I would recommend seats with 'A' because they are closer to the window and offer a lot more privacy
The seat offers a good amount of legroom
The seat offers a mini bar which is something quite rare in most business class seats.
The flight has been delayed by about an hour because they had to offload an unwell passenger.

Thank for you for sharing this FR :)
I remembered back then that EK was used to fly in 777 on all its routes between UAE and India, but now with the superjumbo... It is indeed an excellent improvement and the catering seems to be tempting.
Have safe flights ;)
Thank you!
There is only 1 A380 flight between Dubai and Mumbai (EK500/501) mostly for onward US and European connections at Dubai, the rest are all 777s
Great Report, thanks for sharing it with us.
You didn't pay a visit to the Emirates Lounge Gates A?
Have safe flights
No, unfortunately I didn't have enough time to visit the lounge but I will surely post more Emirates TripReports where I did visit the lounge at DXB.
