Emirates won big at the prestigious 2019 ULTRAs, picking up the ‘Best Airline in the World’ and ‘Best First Class’ Awards.

Voted by the hundreds of thousands of readers of The Telegraph’s luxury travel magazines Ultratravel UK and Ultratravel Middle East, the awards are the industry hallmark of the world’s best luxury travel experiences.

The two awards are a recognition of the airline’s consistent delivery of trendsetting travel products and services across its fleet and network.

In 2019, Emirates continued to place customers at the heart of its business and intensified its investments in products and services, reinforcing its quality proposition.

In April 2019, Emirates completed its US $150 million refurbishment of 10 Boeing 777-200LR aircraft, offering a two-class cabin with wider Business Class seats in a 2-2-2 format and a fully refreshed Economy Class cabin in new colourscapes and enhanced designs.

In First Class, Emirates ‘game-changer’ Boeing 777-300ER, introduced in 2017, continues to amaze customers with its sleek, modern interiors and futuristic technologies.

Featuring six fully enclosed First Class Private Suites, the cabin is inspired by the design and signature details of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
