My Special Treat – First Class On The Emirates A380

As a special treat for myself I decided to upgrade my Australian flight Emirates offer from Melbourne to Dubai. Using frequent flier points I upgraded to First Class on the airbus a380-800.

To be honest I can’t really afford to fly business class, I’m fortunate enough to do so because work send me business class for long haul trips. So to fly First Class on a 14 hour flight is an exceptional event for me.

I am a long standing holder of the Emirates frequent flyer card Skywards. I’ve accumulated enough points for an upgrade and they’d probably just expire anyway, so what did I have to lose.

The journey began with a complimentary chauffeur pick up which took me to the airport. I was able to use the Emirates First Class check-in desk which helped me breeze through the airport.

The lounge by gate 9 makes no distinction between business and 1^st Class. I think I’ve only seen that lounge distinction at Dubai airport.
