UMEX 2022 – Getting There By Emirates Airlines
When it comes to arriving in style and comfort in Abu Dhabi, Emirates Airlines should be your key choice. Emirates flies nonstop to 160 international destinations. That includes twelve American gateways comprising NYC, Boston, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Houston, L.A., San Francisco, Seattle, Dallas, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and Newark. The airline is also linked to most of the world’s major cities. Its parent country location is great for flights from America, Europe, Asia, Australia, or New Zealand!
The airline provides the most comfortable seats not just for first-class passengers but also for business and economy classes as well. Each seat comes with a cushion, offers easy reclination and is big enough with an adjustable headrest. You will love the spacious leg rooms which allow you to rest your legs without feeling any tightness between the seats. It’s easy to fall asleep in the Business Class and arrive refreshed at your destination. Your seat can be reclined into full flatbeds, and your friendly flight attendant will bring you a cushy mattress, pillow, and blanket. You will also find noise-cancelling headphones and a high-quality sleep mask already at your seat when you board.
The entertainment system onboard an Emirates A380 is one of the best in class. You have a much larger screen compared to most other airlines and they are probably touch screens. You will not be disappointed with the content as well. The system hosts some of the latest movies and episodes from popular drama or documentary series.
You will also love how your meals are prepared according to the destination you are travelling to and you are also given a menu to check on all the options. If you do not want surprises, you can also opt for a variety of meals online before your flight. The food is served hot, is very hygienically packed and the taste would never disappoint you.
While on the flight, you can be sure to receive quality service from the Emirates Airlines cabin crews. They are trained to provide pleasant accommodations to your requests. Do not be shy to ask them for anything to make your flight a better experience.
Last but not least, Emirates Airlines offers its own reward system where you can collect miles on every flight, and enjoy the benefits relatively quickly. The application for the reward system takes less than five minutes and if you sign up on your first flight, you’ll automatically earn 2500 additional miles!
Here are the benefits that we are looking at. At 25,000 miles you reach Silver status and get, for example, business lounge access in Dubai. At 50,000 miles you get to the Gold Member level and you’ll be allowed to use almost all of the Emirates Lounges! The best thing is you can also use and gather miles on other flights that Emirates is partnered with.
We hope you find the information useful. Have fun and enjoy your trip.
