My Wonderful Day with Emirates!

Well what a fab day I’ve had today! A day out of the office thanks to Emirates, an what an interesting day it’s been. Myself and a group of colleagues were invited to join them at Birmingham airport for a sneaky peak around their Airbus 380 during it’s turnaround this lunchtime and then join them for lunch in the Emirates Business Class lounge.

Our first sighting of the Airbus was while we were enjoying a very informative presentation in a conference room. We saw her circling, waiting for her landing slot as she was a bit early, and then she came into land right in front of us. Now I have never been a train or plane spotter but let me tell you, what an impressive sight it was watching this enormous aircraft coming into land! The Airbus truly is an impressive sight and totally overshadows all the other aircraft around it.

The Airbus that flies in and out of Birmingham is a two class aircraft, no first class seats, so the lower deck is Economy and so is the front of the Upper Deck with Business Class towards the rear of the upper deck, including a lovely bar area which is set up once the aircraft is up in the air. Everyone on board has their own pillows and blankets, brand new for each passenger and obviously a bit more luxurious in Business Class!

By now we were all a bit peckish so we headed for the Business Class lounge, only available to Business Class passengers, for lunch, and boy did we do it justice 🙂

Everything in there is complimentary, including a wide selection of champagnes, which ever is your favourite you would probably find it there, starters, main courses, delicious desserts, cheese and biscuits, soft drinks, spirits, liquors and on and on. What a tremendous feast we had! And what superb hosts Emirates were, our every need was catered for.

All in all a thoroughly enjoyable day was had. As well as having a super time, Iearned so much about Emirates, a truly consummate airline. The only downside to the day was boarding a plane but not taking off! Hopefully one day I will be lucky enough to fly on an Airbus!

For now, happy cruising folks!
