Flight - LAX to Dubai

Boarding the flight was a breeze—we went straight to the upper deck. The seat pods are muy bueno! They even have a mini- bar stocked with water, Perrier, and snacks.  The TV screen is massive, with literally hundreds of movies and shows, plus access to several streaming platforms like Paramount+ and HBO Max. Business Class also comes with unlimited Wi-Fi, which is a huge plus.

The Bvlgari amenities bag is a nice touch—Debbie scored a pink one! 

We were also given comfy lounge wear; I’ll definitely be using the shirt when it’s time to sleep. Speaking of sleep, they provide a mattress pad once you’re ready to go night-night. And, when the cabin lights dim to signal that it's time to rest, they project stars on the ceiling, very cool!

The seat lays completely flat and I had plenty of room to spread my 6' 1" frame. Extremely comfortable!

The menu has a wide range of choices, and we had pre-ordered the Pan-seared Chilean Sea Bass as our main course. Below are the menus, including the full bar menu.

Pre-dinner

The cream of mushroom soup was very good!

The lounge was very nice, but not quite as large as depicted on TV. And, the galley is just behind it, so lots of flight attendant traffic. 

We have arrived in Dubai. We’re now in the Emirates Business Class Lounge. 

First Class has its own separate space, but this lounge is enormous—stretching the entire length of the terminal! Even better, you can board your flight directly from here, which is pretty cool. The lounge is packed with options: multiple food stations with cuisine from multiple parts of the world, a coffee bar, an ice cream cart, and—most importantly—a Moët & Chandon bar.
