Emirates First Class Auckland to Dubai

Emirates First Class to Dubai

My 36 hours of Emirates First Class starts with 17 hours from Auckland to Dubai, one of Emirates’ longest flights at 8,823 miles. Truth be told, I’m in New Zealand because there was First Class award availability ex-AKL, with connecting award availability to Seattle. On board, amazing as always. Wonderful service, great food and wines making Emirates First Class an absolute joy to fly. Even better with an empty suite across the aisle for my bed, and a refreshing A380 shower prior to landing in Dubai.

Tonight's menu...

Tonight's amuse bouche.

Arabic mezze.

Creamy green pea and mint soup.

Yummy Bucatini cacio e pepe.

And Rhubard crostata to finish.

Love it when there are empty suites to request for sleeping.  My bedroom across the aisle.

And a great 7 hours of sleep.

Movie snack time.

And a refreshing shower 90 minutes from landing at Dubai.

Fruit plate just prior to landing.
