If you have never taken business class flights before, you may be wondering what all the fuss is about - but if you pay the extra money, you will not be disappointed with the service you receive.
Emirates is one of the world's leading carriers and as such, you can expect any flight with the airline to run smoothly. However, if you choose Emirates business class you will discover a whole new world of luxury when it comes to travelling.

One of the main reasons to select this option is the extra service you receive. As well as exclusive check-in desks and fast-track immigration at the airport, you will also be offered a complimentary chauffer-driven car to pick you up and take you to or from the airport. Emirates offers this service in 30 cities on its network and all six of the UK airports it flies from are included in this, so you can arrive in style before you even set foot on the plane.
When you board the aircraft, one of the first things you will notice is the extra space and privacy afforded by the business class cabin. Every seat has aisle access and if you want to get up and wander around during the course of your flight, you will find that there is a special lounge aboard where you can enjoy hot or cold drinks and even take a comfy seat if you fancy a change of scene. Of course, long-haul flights can be exhausting, which is why Emirates business class cabins on A380 and selected Boeing 777 aircraft feature flatbed seats that provide you with a 79-inch bed to sleep in. You will also have privacy screens to ensure you are not disturbed and if you just want to lie back and take advantage of the in-flight entertainment, you'll discover up to 1,200 channels are available on your personal big-screen TV.
Airline food often gets given a hard time but if you fly business class with Emirates, you can say goodbye to plastic trays and cutlery. You will receive your meals on china crockery and your tray table will be set up with a linen tablecloth. When it comes to the food, you will have a variety of choices. For breakfast, this will include hot and cold options, all accompanied by fruit juice, tea, coffee, pastries and yoghurt. Meanwhile, dinner or lunch is a real treat, with cold canapes served ahead of a five-course meal.
The airline has also recently introduced a number of healthy eating choices which are ideal if you want to keep an eye on your diet.
