If you’ve ever flown first class, then you understand completely when we say it ruins you for any long-haul, economy-class experience you have thereafter.
Knowing what the comfort and luxury of a fully-extended flat bed is or getting to choose your food off an a la carte menu while sipping on some delicious champers. Ruined we say, especially when you have to resort to this…
Well, we think the same could be said about this little A319 executive jet operated by Emirates that caught our attention.
Good grief.
While it’s exciting that premium economy seating is catching on significantly with the discerning traveller who has comfort at the centre of their flight experience. It seems those wanting the finer things in life have set a new level of luxury, this is for the folks who have money to burn.
I mean look at this - gold-plated everything. And that's just in your spacious on board shower spa no less, with fine linens and a range of luxury spa products. Pfft, what jet-lagged, red-eye look!?

But there's more. It can accommodate up to 19 guests in 'utmost comfort' says the airline. Your ‘crew’ will be spoiled in 10 private suites that look like this.
(Emirates)
Each equipped with sliding privacy doors, fully-flat bed seats, visitor’s seat, personal mini-bar and a 32” screen displaying award-winning ICE entertainment system. You can relax and enjoy up to 1 500 channels of on-demand entertainment on your private flight with the latest movies and top-rated TV programmes from around the world, alongside music, games and news.
Did we mention the mood lighting, what's a private jet without mood lighting, right?

Add to that you have complete flexibility to tailor your journey to your specific requirements, choosing precisely where and when you wish to fly. And who knows what you could get up to in this spacious lounge, with its two sofas and six lounge seats?

But Emirates have looked to be as functional in their luxury offering too, since it can easily be configured for doing business, dining, or simply relaxing. There is full Wi-Fi, mobile phone connectivity, and video conferencing available throughout your flight. Nice!

Did we mention there's also an executive team and multi-lingual cabin crew at your call, ready to accommodate any special requests?

And while you can order from an award-winning menu they're more than willing to tailor a bespoke menu to your personal tastes. Of course they are!
All we can say is…
