I rank Emirates’ new first class as one of the world’s best first class products. Readers often have questions about whether a particular flight is scheduled to feature the new first class, so in this post, I want to cover that in a bit more detail, and provide an update on which routes are currently scheduled to have the new product.
This coincides with the launch of the IATA winter 2025-2026 travel schedule, which applies for flights between late October and late March.
Just to be perfectly clear, while Emirates’ A380s offer an incredible first class experience with onboard showers and a bar, no A380s feature the new first class seats.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
