Why a Cocktail on Emirates Is Unlike Any Other in the Air

Breakfast Martinis and Laid-Back Lounges Are Just the Start

Our story begins:

A comely stranger walks over to you and graciously offers you a drink.

So far, so good.

Now, this stranger and you just happen to be located somewhere over the Atlantic, heading to an exotic, far-flung locale. That stranger is your flight attendant.

What happens next? Well, you’re 40,000 feet in the air. Seems like the end of the story.

But a cocktail on Emirates is just the beginning. Your cocktail may take you to some interesting places.


Say you’re in the mood for an old-school martini—or you’d like to send a cosmopolitan to your travel companion. In that case, stretch your legs and visit the onboard lounge, available in First and Business Class on all Emirates A380 aircraft. There you’ll lean on the bar, chat with your cabinmates and remember that flying used to always be this stylish.


When it’s time for dinner, whether your drink of choice is a reserve wine or a Manhattan, it will be a good accompaniment to hearty chef-driven dishes like butternut squash soup or slow-braised lamb shank.


Now, say you’re in the mood for something a bit smoother. You’ll find an extensive scotch selection, whether you like it neat, on the rocks or in a Rob Roy. And with scotch, good jazz is essential—good thing you have over 2,500 channels of music, movies and more at your fingertips.

Finally, in the morning, after you’ve availed yourself of the First Class shower spa and its array of Bulgari bath essentials, indulge in a Breakfast Martini (made with a hint of orange marmalade). Then again, perhaps you’ll opt for something a bit more celebratory, like a glass of Dom Pérignon.

Hey, it’s not every day you take a midair shower.
