This is our review of Emirates business class on a refurbished A380.
Emirates is in the midst of a massive program to refurbish its workhorse A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft which represent the backbone of its long haul fleet.
Starting in 2021, the project has so far seen 22 of 110 A380s refurbished, whilst the first refurbished Boeing 777 will arrive this summer. For the A380, Emirates has retained the existing staggered 1-2-1 seating configuration but updated it with new finishes, fabrics and technology.
I was keen to see what Emirates had to offer on its flagship aircraft. Amongst the general public, Emirates enjoys a stellar reputation. Would my experience live up to it?

Emirates offers a very impressive cocktail menu on board with 12 classics available. The airline is renowned for its vast wine cellar with over six million bottles laid down. Available on this flight were two reds including Les Pagodes de Cos 2011 red, a white wine and Chateau d’ESclans Rock Angel 2022 rose (which British Airways serves in First).
