The Emirates A380 experience was terrific from start to finish, with an excellent lounge at JFK, great cabin crew, nice seats, and an impressive number of food and beverage options. Everything felt luxurious and opulent (over the top, even), and I can see why this product has remained popular for 15 years.

No dress code except for staff flying on non-rev tickets. In my experience most other passengers will be dressed casually as comfort during the flight is a high priority.

The Business Class on the A380 is very large and the flight attendants have to server a lot of people so it can feel a bit like you are in economy from the sheer size. On the 777 it is a more personalized feel and you get more attention since there are just 42 vs 76 on the 380. The bar is a nice addition on the 380.

Do you keep airline pyjamas? Yes, they are generally only given to businesses and first class passengers and are quite cheaply made.
