If you have the opportunity to fly Emirates Business Class, do it. No questions asked.

As someone who almost always flies economy or basic economy, I recently had the pleasure of flying Business Class through Emirates and it was extraordinary. Flying from Dhaka to Boston, the experience was taken to new heights of luxury. This article delves into the details of the trip, including a layover in Dubai and an experience that unveils a culinary adventure.

When boarding onto the flight, I was immediately welcomed warmly by an array of flight attendants along with my own mini toiletries bag at each seat.

The seating experience is synonymous with spacious luxury. Each seat is designed to offer ample room for passengers, providing a sense of openness and comfort. This being said, I was able to transform my seat into a fully horizontal bed to make the 15-hour long haul so much more enjoyable. I got some restful and comfortable sleep, which I never would have dreamed I would ever be able to do. Additionally, I had the convenience of my own mini refreshment area so that I could indulge in a selection of beverages at my leisure.

When I came to the airline's flagship hub, Dubai International Airport, I was enthralled by the Emirates Business Class Lounge. It was the epitome of luxury and comfort, providing an exclusive and relaxing space to escape the chaos of your usual airport madness. The lounge boasts a sophisticated and contemporary design, featuring a blend of modern aesthetics and traditional Arabian influences.

• Dining Options: We were offered a diverse and delectable array of options – I enjoyed local pastries and there was a well stocked bar.

• Showers and Spa Services: my layover wasn’t too long but those with a long layover had the opportunity freshen up with shower facilities and even indulge in spa services to rejuvenate before their next flight.

• Concierge Services: The lounge provides dedicated concierge services to assist passengers with any travel-related queries, reservations, or special requests.

• Convenient Boarding: To make the boarding process seamless, the lounge provided gate information and I was able to board straight from the business class lounge.

One of the highlights of flying Emirates Business Class was the opportunity to savor exquisite wines as to which I indulged in Graham's 20 Year Old Tawny Douro Valley Port Wine from Portugal. This aged port wine was so rich and complex in flavor that I had to get a second glass! It made the travel experience as enjoyable as the destination. For breakfast, I chose a dish called the Cherab, Emirati pancakes infused with cardamom and saffron. Served with a drizzle of date syrup and a dollop of cream cheese, it proved its international flair. For lunch, I relished in the Center Cut Smoked Salmon, expertly marinated in grapefruit and served with horseradish cream and herb oil. It was diverse. It was luxurious. It was exquisite. For those with a penchant for seafood, the Prawn Machbous is a must-try dish on the Emirates Business Class menu for dinner. The king prawns were marinated in a traditional Emirati spice blend, infusing the dish with a burst of aromatic flavors. Served alongside fragrant rice, roasted pine nuts, and crispy fried onions, the Prawn Machbous showcased the authentic local Emrati cuisine.

Flying from Dhaka to Boston with Emirates Business Class not only promised a seamless and comfortable journey but also offered a culinary adventure. This was a fusion of luxury and culinary delight making the Emirates Business Class experience truly unforgettable.
