Emirates, the world’s largest A380 operator is set to receive its milestone 100th A380 aircraft on 3rd November. Over 80 million passengers have flown on the superjumbo in the nine years since it first joined Emirates’ modern fleet.

Today, the Emirates A380 reaches all ends of the globe flying to 45 destinations worldwide including non-stop flights to Sao Paulo, Casablanca, Copenhagen, Tokyo and Los Angeles plus, the world’s longest A380 flight - a non-stop Dubai to Auckland service.

The latest makeover of the Onboard Lounge unveiled in July this year, inspired by private yacht cabins, features an intimate social area for up to 26 guests whilst the 55 inch LCD screen with surround sound speakers broadcasts the latest flight information, live TV, news and sports updates.

With its many thoughtful design touches including a heated floor, shower timer, a hairdryer, and spa products, Emirates’ Onboard Shower spa remains the standard to beat for inflight luxury. The airline recently introduced sustainable VOYA spa products and exclusively-developed moisturizing pyjamas, allowing customers to arrive at their destination refreshed.

Emirates’ award-winning inflight entertainment system, ice, provides customers with more choices for on-demand entertainment and an improved viewing experience with a 32 inch screen in First Class. USB ports for power and data in each seat as well as HDMI ports in premium classes allow passengers to connect personal devices to the ice screen.

The entire A380 fleet has also been fitted with connectivity to allow for free Wi-Fi throughout the cabin. In June last year, the first A380 was fitted with Live TV allowing passengers to watch news and sports matches live on board.

Due to increased demand Emirates have introduced a second daily A380 service from Birmingham offering more flexibility and choice for passengers. Business Class passengers enjoy access to a dedicated lounge at Birmingham Airport as well as Emirates’ convenient Chauffeur-drive service.
