Emirates has officially opened Emirates First at Terminal 3, Dubai International Airport (DXB), offering a luxurious experience for Emirates’ first class customers and Skywards Platinum members. Emirates First has been reimagined with premium customers in mind. From the moment customers reach the Emirates Terminal 3 departure area, and just a few steps inside, a grand golden entryway now signifies the entrance to the private space, where a dedicated Emirates host verifies guest eligibility for entry.

The check-in space has been upgraded with a refined private seating area. Recognizing the importance of time to premium customers, Emirates First offers a sleek experience where check-in formalities can be performed on iPads while guests are seated. Families can relax in the seated areas, while one member is assisted with the check in process for all. Customers can also utilize the check-in counters, if preferred, and drop baggage at the marble and brass desks, where they are loaded onto dedicated first class baggage belts. Customers can then breeze through Security and Immigration, and proceed to one of the three Emirates First Class Lounges in Terminal 3, DXB to enjoy chef-crafted à la carte meals, fine wines, spirits and champagne, complimentary spa treatments, business centers and kids’ areas, as well as concierge duty-free shopping service. Across the world, the journey for Emirates first class customers is curated from start to finish, with complimentary access to 43 Emirates Lounges across the globe, and complimentary chauffeur drive for seamless door-to-door transfers across most destinations.
The reopening of Emirates First is the latest addition to Emirates’ recent suite of investments for first class customers. In May of this year, Emirates announced an array of new enhancements onboard, from a keepsake menu which tells an explorative story of Emirates’ wine selection and culinary inspirations, to new Emirates-engraved Robert Welch bowls designed for unlimited caviar, and rustic cheeseboard slates to enhance the airline’s renowned artisan cheeseboard. Furthermore, Emirates first class cabin crew now provide a gloved service for exceptional hospitality onboard.
