Emirates, one of the world's leading airlines, has set itself a new record once again after unveiling the planned upgrade to the onboard lounge for its A380 superjumbo aircraft. Exclusively available to first and business class, the upgrade would entail millions of dollars' worth of enhancements that will set the bar once again for luxurious, world-class airline service.
The new Emirates A380 Onboard Lounge will first serve the public on July 2017, with its first public showcase in the ITB Berlin. Set to be more opulent than ever, they are currently being installed in Emirates' new superjumbos.
Some of the cool features that will be included in the upgrade are: a new seating arrangement that will provide more seating space in the lounge while retaining its horseshoe-shaped bar, soundproof curtains to dissuade disturbance in other cabins, additional soft ambient lighting options, an upgrade of their food and beverage options, and many more.
In the new lounge, a total of 26 passengers with 8 seated passengers can relax comfortably, while enjoying world-class wine and eating gourmet food. If you are meticulous about service and doesn't mind paying for it, then this is perfect for you.
A statement by Sir Tim Clark, Emirates Airline President reads: "The A380 Onboard Lounge is hugely popular with our customers, and has become an iconic feature of Emirates' A380 offering. Particularly on long-haul flights, our customers tell us they appreciate the opportunity to stretch their legs and mingle in the relaxed, yet classy lounge area."
"Since we first launched the product in 2008, our A380 Onboard Lounge has gone through small but successive enhancements in line with customer feedback to increase the amount of space for our customers to interact in the lounge."
Clark added that some of their inspirations include private yacht cabins, and that the revamp gives way to a more conducive space for socializing.
