Emirates has unveiled its newest first-class product to critical acclaim at the recent Dubai Airshow. The new first class, which will debut on flights between Dubai and Brussels and Geneva aboard the airline’s Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, will launch this December.
Emirates’ new First Class cabin will feature six private suites laid out in a 1-1-1 layout, compared to the eight private suites in a 1-2-1 layout on its existing 777 fleet. Each suite features floor-to-ceiling doors, a touchscreen HD monitor, a leather-bound seat with a NASA-inspired, zero-gravity position setting, a personal minibar, custom lighting and heating controls, and virtual windows.
In addition to the entirely redesigned First Class product, Emirates’ new Boeing 777-300ERs will also boast refreshed features in the Business and Economy Class cabins.
Operating one of the two daily flights from Dubai to Geneva, travellers can enjoy the new product on flight EK083 departing Dubai at 1450hrs, arriving in Geneva at 1855hrs. The return flight EK084 leaves Geneva at 2040hrs, arriving back at Dubai International Airport at 0605hrs the following day.
For travellers heading to or from Belgium, the new product will be available on flight EK183 which leaves Dubai at 0820hrs, arriving in Brussels at 1245hrs. The return flight EK184 leaves Brussels at 1435hrs, arriving at Emirates Terminal Three in Dubai at 0015hrs the following day.

The airline pioneered the private suite concept on commercial flights in 2003, establishing a new standard for First Class travel, and is currently the world’s largest operator of Boeing 777 aircraft including freighters, flying 165 of these modern and efficient wide-body aircraft to six continents from its hub in Dubai.
Emirates has a track record of successful innovations that have raised the bar for the industry in terms of inflight customer experience since its launch in 1985. Its fleet of Boeing 777 and Airbus A380s boasts unparalleled entertainment on demand in all classes with its award-winning ice system, and inflight connectivity through in-seat text, email, and telephone services, as well as mobile and wi-fi services.
