Hello, Live From Emirates’ New First Class!

Man, this isn’t a bad way to kick off the week. Hello from 34,000 feet, as I’m enroute from Dubai to Brussels in Emirates’ brand-spanking-new first class. This particular plane is only a week old, and even has the new plane smell. This is only a short flight so I won’t spend too much of this flight blogging, but I can’t help but at least share a few photos of the experience (I’m amazed the Wi-Fi is fast enough for me to upload these — I’ve usually had terrible experience with Wi-Fi speed on Emirates).

Stay tuned, I’ll have a lot more thoughts later!

It's more like a small hotel room than an airline seat.

Is it possible to eat a meal with a companion in one seat?

Looks incredible but why the HELL are there only 2 routes with it to two boring cities like Brussels and Geneva???? I wanna see this new plane from DXB to JFK, LAX, LHR, anywhere really.

+2 to @James. I'd admit both products are awesome but SQ's looks a bit better in my opinion. And the hallway between the A and E seats might get easily crowded (as crowded as any first class cabin could ever be).
