It´s time to continue my trip, and this time I was headed to Bangkok. Since the private suite features are almost the same as the previous flight (Stockholm to Dubai), I would concentrate on the food and all the other services which were not posted earlier.

First Class Cabin

The first class cabin has a total of 8 private suites with a 1-2-1 configuration. That day, there were only 3 passengers in first class so I had a chance to take as many pictures as I could.

Suite 2K

Welcome to my suite: 2K 😍

Suite 2K

I was not able to take a picture of this "little storage section" on the previous flight so I am including it now.

This feature, where one could control the window shields by pressing the button, was not in the Boeing 777-200LR used on the Stockholm-Dubai flight.

Immigration Card

I love it when the flight attendants distribute the fast track card and immigration form well in advance.

Pre-departure Beverage, Dom Perignon 2003

The welcome drink turned out to be a glass of Cuvée Dom Perignon 2003. Lovely 👍

Bateel Dates & Arabic Coffee

Emirates Bateel dates, which by the way are very low in calories, as I was later informed.

I was able to take a picture while Giuliano was pouring the Arabic coffee. I haven't tasted one before so I decided to have a small cup. It actually tasted something like saffron.

Dining

First Class Bar

The first class bar offers different bottles of champagnes and wines, as well as cocktail snacks, fruits and sandwiches.

Complimentary Limousine Service

Upon my arrival at the Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, I went directly to the arrival hall where I met the Emirates representative who escorted me outside for the complimentary limousine service to the hotel.

Conclusion

Yet another unforgettable experience with Emirates first class. The service was impeccable, the food was excellent and of course, the private suite is unbeatable. Giuliano, the cabin attendant from Mexico, was very charming and really took care of me throughout the flight. I really enjoyed everything about this flight that I would do it again and again. Shukran, Emirates 😍
