Is Emirates first class any good?

Q: Is Emirates First Class worth it? A: If you can get a relatively inexpensive upgrade from Emirates Business Class, most definitely! Emirates First Class is definitely worth the splurge on an Emirates Airbus a380 service because you get the full range of amenities including the chance to shower in the air.

Emirates first class passengers can shower once per flight. You can typically spend 30 minutes in the shower room (though in theory I suppose you could spend longer if it's not otherwise booked), though you only get five minutes of running water. More on that later.

If you are talking about the earbuds that airlines hand out, yes, you are expected to keep those, and if you don't, the airline will throw them away. But if you are talking about the real on-ear or over-ear headphones, no, it would be stealing to take those with you.

The only thing better about the new terminal first class lounge ( used last year) is that the lounge connects directly to the plane. One thing I ask is, we may not be paying at the time of taking the service as its included in our flight cost, but please give the waiters and waitresses a tip.
