One of the most exclusive cabins in the skies around the world is definitely the Emirates-branded one on A380.
We are talking about a "unique" experience and with its days numbered, as there are fewer and fewer Airbus A380s.
A first-class ticket from Milan to New York or Dubai never costs less than 4,000/5,000 euros (or more 110 thousand Membership Rewards points), and for longer routes it is as high as 10 thousand euros. Considering that these are normally the rates, a price at less than 600€ is one of those opportunities not to be missed.
We are not talking about a error make or a promotional rate, but of what was, before the pandemic, a viable business and has now become one again, as the company has decided to reactivate the A380 route with first class.
Emirates First Class for less than €600
We're talking about a mini-apartment, starred menus of caviar and champagne, and most importantly, the ability to take a shower at 10,000 meters high or 33,000 feet.
Unfortunately, if you want to realize this dream you have to go all the way to Bangkok and take the Flight to Hong Kong or vice versa. You might also consider incorporating the route as part of a vacation and choose to fly Emirates instead of Air Asia.
We are talking about a flight of less than 3 hours, with the same route also operated by many lowcost airlines, with which it is possible to fly for less than 50$. It goes without saying, however, that being able to experience the luxury of the A380 and touch how to fly in style is definitely something that would appeal to many aviation enthusiasts.
In less than three hours you can try to drink as much Dom Perignon as possible, enjoy a delicious dinner and, in case you are still thirsty, choose from the world's finest rums and whiskeys. And, if there is time, take a shower as well.
How to book a ticket
Nothing could be simpler: go to Google Flights and search for the route, you will then find the ticket of round trip at just over 600€.
Sure, you won't be able to take advantage of Dubai's chauffeur service or the first-class lounge, but otherwise it will be a thousand and one nights' experience packed into 3 hours.
