Emirates Launches ‘Emirates First’ Lounge at Dubai International Airport, Elevating Premium Travel Experience

Emirates has officially opened ‘Emirates First’, a dedicated First-Class check-in and lounge facility at Terminal 3, Dubai International Airport (DXB), designed to deliver a seamless and luxurious pre-flight experience for its most elite travelers.

Exclusively available to First-Class passengers and Emirates Skywards Platinum members, the new facility underscores the airline’s continued investment in premium customer service. As the world’s largest operator of international First-Class travel — offering over 26,800 First-Class seats each week — Emirates is reaffirming its leadership in luxury air travel.

Adel Al Redha, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Operating Officer, commented:

“We invest heavily in upgrading our ground products, and Emirates First is one of the areas that will offer a unique and private environment to our First-Class customers and Skywards Platinum members. We know our customers value privacy and convenience, and this will provide another level of hospitality to the check-in experience, as part of our efforts to continuously uplift the overall travel journey.”

From arrival to departure, Emirates First is designed to streamline every touchpoint of the journey. Guests can enjoy an effortless transfer with the airline’s Chauffeur Drive service, personalized check-in at the new facility, access to a world-class lounge, and ultimately a multi award-winning inflight experience aboard Emirates’ iconic aircraft.

The unveiling of Emirates First reflects the airline’s ongoing strategy to set new benchmarks in premium travel, combining innovation with the timeless luxury and attention to detail that have become synonymous with the Emirates brand.
