Starting with floor to ceiling sliding doors and sleek designs inspired by Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the new suites of Emirates takes luxury and privacy to the next level. These suites spacious and fully-enclosed private suites that have up to 40 square feet of personal space and are laid out in a 1-1-1 configuration.

The latest Emirates 777 aircraft spells nothing but a multi-dollar upgrade. From the First Class suites to the Business and Economy Class cabins, the walkways, the washrooms, and the galleys, everything is about luxury and comfort. The upgrade also includes newly-designed seats and new in-flight entertainment systems in all cabins.

Emirates Airline’s President Sir Time Clark said:

 “The inflight experience is the heart of our brand and service proposition. The new 777 interiors that we are unveiling today is part of Emirates’ ongoing investment to continually raise the bar and exceed our customers’ expectations. Aside from our new fully enclosed private suites, Business Class features our latest fully-flat leather seats with personal minibars, Economy Class seats have adjustable full leather headrests, and the inflight entertainment system has been upgraded for all cabin classes. Throughout the aircraft, our customers will see modern and airy cabins, with painstaking attention to detail evident in design touches such as the textured wall and ceiling panels, lighting features, and more.”

About the new First Class products, he also added:

“Emirates pioneered the First Class private suite concept back in 2003, and today it’s the industry benchmark when it comes to first class travel. Over the years we have continually improved on our private suites, adding thoughtful refinements and features. We are very excited about our new fully-enclosed suite which is a real game-changer in terms of privacy, comfort, and thoughtful luxury. This is the first time an Emirates product has been so influenced by another luxury brand, but it is a natural fit as both Emirates and Mercedes-Benz have the same unwavering commitment to fine detail, uncompromising quality, and a drive to push the boundaries.”

The New First Class Cabins

The suites were created in collaboration with Boeing, Panasonic, Jacques Pierre Jean Design studio, Rockwell Collins interior systems, and Teague and combine smart technologies and intelligent designs to deliver luxury, comfort, and function. The new Emirates 777 First Class cabin’s interior uses a new color palette: A combination of soft greys, champagne, and cream that conveys an open, airy, and contemporary feel with the combination of peace, quiet, and timeless luxury.

The soft leather seat reclines and transforms into a fully flat bed. It can also be placed in a “zero-gravity” position which is inspired by NASA technology, to give the feeling of weightlessness and relaxation. Even if the bed has been made, it still gives ample space for passengers.
