Emirates to Fly A380 to Moscow

Emirates will upgrade one of the two daily flights servicing its Dubai-Moscow route to an A380-800, commencing December 1, 2016, offering business travellers an enhanced experience when flying to the capital of Russia.

From the beginning of December, on flight EK131/132, the three-class A380-800 will offer 14 Private Suites in First Class and 76 fully flat-bed mini-pods in Business Class on the upper deck. It will also provide Onboard Shower Spas for First Class passengers and the iconic Emirates Onboard Lounge, where First Class and Business Class passengers can socialise at 40,000 feet, both products being unique to the Russian market. An additional 426 seats in Economy gives a total of 516 seats on the aircraft, increasing the number of seats on the route by 23 percent.

Moscow joins more than 40 Emirates A380 destination cities, offering Russian travellers the airline’s best-in-class onboard product and renowned service. Passengers in all cabins can enjoy Emirates’ award-winning inflight entertainment system – ice Digital Widescreen – which offers more than 2,500 channels of films, TV programs, music and podcasts. Passengers travelling on the A380 can stay easily connected to friends and colleagues with free onboard wifi.

The Emirates experience begins with complimentary chauffeur drive to and from the airport for Business Class and First Class passengers and access to Emirates’ exclusive airport lounges. As with all Emirates flights, passengers benefit from a generous baggage allowance of 30kg in Economy Class, 40kg in Business Class and 50kg in First Class. www.emirates.com
