For the month of December, Emirates has a sleigh-full of Christmas treats to entertain its customers – bringing the holiday cheer to the skies.
With over a million customers set to fly with Emirates over December, Emirates hopes its seasonal hospitality will put passengers in the festive spirit.
Emirates’ first and business class lounges in Dubai will be serving a traditional Christmas dinner – including the essential roasted turkey with jus and cranberry sauce – amongst a wider array of items to choose from. The festive feat will be complemented by Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2013 and 2015, the Tranquil Tundra cocktail and Cozy Hearth mocktail by Dilmah, Jingle Mule cocktail from Evian, and Holiday Spiced Sour from Perrier.
In first class lounges, Emirates is serving up mince pies with vanilla sauce, red currant cheesecake, cinnamon profiteroles, and spicy gingerbread chocolate cake. Business class lounges will be served with desserts such as cherry pistachio festive tarts, Christmas fruit cake, chocolate yule log, and lime macarons with peppermint ganache.
This December, an exclusive vintage – Château Mouton Rothschild 2003 from the Emirates Vintage Collection will be available to first class customers travelling on routes from Dubai to the UK and USA. With an 1855 Bordeaux classification, this wine is sought after for its bold expression of Pauillac terroir and status as a ‘First Growth’. A fusion of art and wine, the 2003 label was designed by the renowned artist Pablo Picasso, marking the 150th anniversary of Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild’s acquisition of Mouton.
Onboard routes to the US and UK in first class in December, Emirates will be serving another exclusive and extremely rare vintage of champagne – Dom Pérignon Plenitude 2, 2004. This majestic and intense champagne is referred to as the plenitude of energy, benefitting from close to 15 years in the cellar.
In first, business, and premium economy class, the holiday classics continue with a huge variety of festive dishes across different routes. An array of festive desserts awaits featuring all the flavours of the season. Economy class customers can also enjoy their festive meal onboard. All classes can enjoy a hot chocolate with tasty toppings.
In the A380 Onboard Lounge, customers departing Dubai can munch on some mince pies, stollen, panettone, festive macarons, ginger profiteroles, dark chocolate ganache and cranberry financier as well as hazelnut and cranberry jars, biscotti and candy canes. Customers visiting the onboard lounge can also grab a Christmas sandwich stuffed with turkey, roast beef, cheddar cheese, cranberry sauce and chilli tomato relish.
Emirates’ inflight entertainment will inspire the Christmas spirit with 42 seasonal movies available to customers, as well as 14 Christmas TV shows and 15 Christmas music albums to listen to.
