Emirates "Old" First Class to Dubai

OK, so it's not New First as promised... but Emirates Old First is still damn good!

 
At around T-55, I headed downstairs and found a seat near the gate podium.  
 
 
Ten minutes later, a gate agent approached me and asked if I'd like to board.  So that's why Emirates tags F passengers carry-ons with bright red Emirates First Class tags.

Suite 2A
Departed 4/8
 

I was the first to board and warmly welcomed by tonight's wonderful cabin crew.  Welcome to Air Bling.  LOL.

My home for the next 11 hours.... Suite 2A

Why not?  LOL.

Now here's a worthwhile amenity kit!

Up in the air, wonderful service.

I started with the sushi sampler.  Delicious.

The 2015 Y d'Yquem was sensational.

And the 2013 Olivier Leflaive Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru was spectacular.

For my main, the Japanese-style curry chicken was very good.

OMG, the pastry plate to die for.

Starry starry night on the ceiling is a cool feature.

At this point, I was exhausted and head across the aisle to 2E where our flight attendant had made my bed.

Really comfy and I got 5 solid hours of sleep.

After a great sleep, I moved back to my 2A.

And time for... breakfast?  lunch?  dinner?  Where am I?

Since catering was ex-Tokyo, I tried the kaiseki bento.  Gorgeous presentation.

These was really good.

Almost to Dubai.

We landed on time and pulled into a proper gate, B11.  Despite the equipement substition, this was a great flight with another wonderful Emirates crew.
