Customers can pre-order their favourite dish via the program “Book The Cook” where a selection of local and international delicacies can be ordered 24 hours before flight departure time when travelling from select destinations. And in the ultra premium Raffles Class, the experience is beyond compare.

With the bubbly Dom Perignon, Piper Heidsieck Special Rare Cuvee and Krug Grande Cuvee, choicest of wines from France, Italy, Germany, Australia, New Zealand and the United States, and port wines from Portugal on offer. There is typically also a dessert wine available. And Yummy! is a facility offered to the young travellers in the First Class wherein they can pre-order from a tantalising array of healthy dishes before flight departure.

”This is an unexpressed need that’s been capitalised on rather sensibly,” says corporate traveller Jatin Bhimani. “When I am flying first class, I must have a variety of frugal meals to sumptuous spreads on offer. What I feel like eating is entirely my prerogative.” Agreed. So if you want to get treated like royalty, fly Emirates. The FirstClass suites offer elaborate seven-course meals accompanied by the choicest of beverages, served in the comfort of the suite.

Dine on demand, room service style. Tuck in delectable fruit tarts, crème brûlée and chocolate mousse triple symphony along with speciality teas and cafetière coffee, anchovy bell peppers and fresh Parmesan; cream of carrot and coriander soup; lobster and arugula salad on noodles with Thai chilli; scallop ragout and tomato salsa, and oven-roasted la mb with thyme. And that’s not all. To help you adjust your body clock and bust jet lag, a stellar image of the night sky replete with twinkling constellations, is displayed on the ceiling panels (of the Emirates A340-500).

Shining bright is the visage of airlines, what with e-ticketing, spacious tech powered airport lounges and fare wars. Take your pick of the taste of paradise. Cheers!
