Emirates first class review

The journey to any destination is as important as the destination.

And flying first class on any airline is so luxurious that one might actually prefer their in-flight experience to last longer so that they are able to savor this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity during my recent trip to Dubai on 1st November 2016 I flew Emirates 777-300 from Mumbai to Dubai I was upgraded from business to first class.. it's The cabin consists of just eight first class seats its been some years since I took emirates for any of my travel. I have flown Emirates a lot during the earlier years of filming my travel shows & was naturally excited about flying on it again after a gap of about 10 years. In The first class of Mumbai to Dubai sector there are 8 seats & I was seated on 2A. The moment I entered my first class cabin, I noticed the fresh orchids, Which were placed in my cabin.

I had my private suite which was quite spacious and I was also quite impressed with the fresh Orchids placed inside. The walls were a two-toned pearly white and the windows and TV’s were encased by beautiful lacquered wood. Every "suite” was complete with its own personal beverage bar, a work desk, vanity case and a make up mirror. Even the ceiling was very well done up with twinkling stars. I was so excited that I decided to capture this unforgettable journey with my phone camera. After being seated I was greeted by my flight attendant, who came to introduce her self & offered me a choice of champagne, juice or water, and then handed me a hot towel for my face and hands while I took my time to decide on the drink, But one thing which I found very odd was that she had no smile on her face. I thought it must be some stress & decided to overlook it & ordered a glass of champagne.

Then the wait began & After waiting for 8-10 mins my personal attendant comes with the champagne bottle but no smile on her face even this time. 10 minutes later when the attendant finally came with my Champagne without apologizing for the delay or feigning a smile she started to pour the champagne into a glass but because of lack of training or lack of interest in her work she ended up poring the Drink outside my glass. "Ops"I said When I saw that she is pouring the champagne improperly. She offered to change my glass and I smiled.. then I started to wait for fresh glass...but wait...she comes back again after 10 mins and starts to pour the champagne exactly the same way.. as she had done earlier.. and she started pouring the champagne outside of the glass. Well anyway she changed the glass again & managed to pour me a glass the third time around. By this time we had been 40 minutes into the flight. For lunch I requested the attendant for a glass of red wine with my meal but the wine I chose was served to me surprisingly warm & on bringing this to the notice of the staff I was told that they had not chilled it to the right temperatures which I doubt that they knew anything about. Now I really started to think that if emirates made such beautiful interiors stocked up on the best wines & Champagne then why couldn't they get well trained staff with a smile on there face and that too in first class..!!!

But I loved Emirates first class. No, it’s not a perfect product — service can be hit or miss, just with Little smile on there faces. They can make the journey of passengers so much more comfortable.

I very much doubt if I would have aired this blog if at all the staff had been friendly & accommodating.
