Hello, I'm new to this part of the forum - I lurk much more in the BA forums where most of my business/first travel is business related across to US from LHR.

Although I rate the chances of travel at below 50%, a friend and I decided to book some first class tickets on Emirates for Jan next year. I think the likelihood of travel is low, but we can hope and ream!

Our itinerary is

EK926 CAI-DXB (First, A)
EK703 DXB - MRU (First, A)

with a 4 hour layover.

Then return is

EK702 MRU-DXB (First, A)
EK925 DXB - CAI (First, A)
22 hour layover.

I was wondering if you have any recommendations on how to maximise value and the experience. By that, for instance, for someone flying first on BA, i'd suggest they book a cabana and spa session at least a month beforehand. Avoid the first lounge, head to concorde. Remember to ask for the chocolates. Stuff like that.

Also happy to take any advice on seating. The CAI-DXB legs are on 777s and the DXB-MRU on the A380 (hopefully it is flying then!)






I know its
Its a long way
