![]() ![]() I liked the mini-bar, personal storage, and convenient plugs in the console.Īs you can see, my bulkhead seat had a storage compartment affixed to it. More importantly, however, the seats are quite comfortable and the window seats are fairly private compared to the aisle seats. Not so much in terms of comfort, but in terms of the gaudy woodgrain, gold accents, and tired-looking fabric. Maybe it’s just me, but I think the Emirates business class seats are way past their prime. The Emirates business class cabin is located exclusively on the upper deck of the A380 and features 76 seats in a staggered 1-2-1 configuration, split into a larger main cabin and smaller rear cabin. ![]() Onboard, I was welcomed by a flight attendant and directed to my seat via the galley. Finally, at about 4:20 PM, boarding began.īoarding at LAX is on two-levels and I was directed up an escalator and down the upper rear jet bridge to business class. Interestingly, internet seemed to be down throughout the airport, though I was able to use data from my mobile phone at the boarding gate.īoarding was delayed due to a late-arriving aircraft from Dubai. I also had no connection for my mobile phone, meaning no tethering. However, I left the lounge early because the wi-fi was not working. First and business class passengers use the same lounge and I enjoyed a nice lunch. I’ve reviewed the Emirates LAX Lounge in detail before and nothing has changed. I did not press it, but when I got the the lounge I requested a seat change to 7K and was promptly obliged. She called a supervisor to unlock it for me and the supervisor denied the request (no reason given). The check-in agent indicated that seat 7K, a bulkhead seat in business class was blocked. I figured that there may be a seat or two blocked and that was indeed the case, through it was a two-step process. While I could have checked in online, I wanted a window seat and none appeared available during online check-in. I arrived at Los Angeles two hours prior to takeoff and found no wait in the business class check-in line. Emirates tends to open award space at the last-minute and this flight was wide open starting about a week before travel. I booked this ticket using 82,500 Alaska miles two days before travel. While there were some service lapses, how can I complain about two great meals and 10 hours of sleep? My 15.5-hour flight from Los Angeles to Dubai on Emirates was comfortable and restful. ![]()
