Airline 'suite wars': Emirates reveals swanky new first-class seats
Emirates revealed an updated “suites” first-class product that gives fliers up to 40-square-feet of space and seats that convert into lie-flat beds and come with sliding privacy doors. Emirates will add the new first-class seats to its new Boeing 777-300ER jets still on order. The new suites cabin will be installed in a 1-1-1 configuration, lowering the density from Emirates’ current 1-2-1 layout on the airline's Boeing 777s that feature a comparable suites cabin. It will debut Dec 1 on flights between its Dubai hub and airports serving Brussels and Geneva. The update continues something of a premium-cabin arms race among the world’s high-end carriers. It was less than two weeks ago that SIA rolled out its own new first-class suites for its Airbus A380 jets.<br/>
