Lovers of fine foods will have an interesting surprise on their next Emirates flight. In fact, the famous airline has brought a notable change to its caviar policy, at least as far as passengers purchasing first-class tickets are concerned.

News that was greeted with astonishment, since one is faced with a company that voluntarily chooses to increase its expenses for the sole purpose of ensuring an extra "pampering" for its wealthiest passengers. Hard to imagine how anyone had complained so much about the scarcity of caviar on board that it prompted an intervention from the top.
Emirates: more caviar in first class
Emirates is synonymous with comfort and luxury. For this reason, the first class passengers always expect treatment well above general standards. Excellent champagne and caviar can certainly be part of the list of welcome extras. It goes without saying that such a dish is not cheap. That is why carriers that offer it have restrictive policies about it.
In some cases, for example, there is only one serving of caviar per passenger, even if extra servings should be left over. In other cases, however, such leftovers may be distributed, at discretion.
Caviar itself is not new to the menu at Emirates. For those traveling first class, it is possible to order it on most long-haul routes. In theory, customers can order as much as they wish, but for this dish the quantities were at the discretion of the crew. It is evident how, statistics in hand, there has been considerable appreciation, prompting the policy to be made far more generous.
This translates, concretely speaking, into the possibility of ordering multiple times or asking for a double portion. On-board supplies have increased, to the point that there appears to be as much three boxes of caviar per first class passenger. The crew will be able to meet requests as long as they guarantee a minimum quantity for everyone.
Emirates thinks about its passengers
It is easy to assume how the leftovers will be used on other flights, avoiding waste of this valuable commodity. However, the company is prepared to cope with consumption that exceeds expectations, that is, to end some trips without this product on board anymore. The catering service is ready for all eventualities, and supplies will always be sufficient. You will no longer have to be afraid, therefore, to ask for some more. Emirates has thought of that, too.
At this time in history, the world of travel is in great difficulty. There are a variety of cuts implemented by airlines and airports around the world. This is why we see how Heathrow finds itself blocking the number of transit passengers at 100 thousand a day. Economic losses over the past two years have forced mass layoffs, which opens the door to strikes such as the one on July 17, which will put millions of passengers on edge.
Against this backdrop, Emirates' attitude shines even more brightly as it once again demonstrates that it is actually making changes to its services to accommodate customers' tastes and demands. Feeling heard is important for users in any industry. This is especially true in a market that involves being stuck in a confined space for numerous hours. These attentions make all the difference.
