‘Dear Emirates, if this is business class – I’ll stay in economy, thanks’ The Man Who Pays His Way: The closest experience I have had to the airline’s premium seating is in a dentist’s chair.
Almost as soon as I had boarded and gasped at the sheer glory of being a premium passenger, I realised I was looking at first class, which occupies row 1 and 2, rather than business class.
But on the plane I was on, Emirates’ business class seats declined to recline any closer than 14 degrees to the horizon.
As I looked forward to my first experience in business class on one of the world’s great airlines, I wasn’t delving deeply into the small print on the website.
While Emirates continues its fleet refurbishment “at pace”, I commend the airline’s excellent economy class.
