Emirates’ First Class Spa Shower
Feel fresh and wake up to a bright new day with Emirates’ Spa Shower. The facility is equipped with fresh towels, warm and cold water, large shower suite, Timeless Spa toiletries (you can use your own if you’d like), and more. To avail this service, you must book a shower, and if you have a preferred time, or else the assistant will let you know which time slot is free. Also, there is a specific time each passenger gets in the shower (30 minutes usually).
First And Business Class Onboard Lounge And Snack Bar
To enjoy a bit of snacking, sipping, munching, and relaxing, Emirates offers both its First Class and Business Class passengers the facility to use the Onboard Lounge where they can sit on comfortable sofas and enjoy snacks and drinks at the bar.
Personal Cabins
Privacy and relaxation are two things passenger long for, but not with Emirates. The A380 Airbus gives passengers private cabins. These cabins have sliding doors so that the passengers can sleep and carry on with their personal business without having anyone disturb them at all, not even the hostesses (All on first class).
We cannot wait to see the aircraft land at the New Islamabad Airport next week!
