Emirates » A380 (Config. 1) » First class

Emirates has two different configurations of its A380 aircraft, though both of them have three classes, namely economy, business, and first.

This seatplan shows you Config.1. To see Config 2, click here.

The difference is in the total number of seats on board: 489 or 517. The seatplan here has 489 and focuses on the cabin at the front of the upper deck with its first class seats and onboard showers. To read more about it click here

First class on the Emirates' A380 occupies the front of the upper deck and is configured 1-2-1 (A - E,F - K). Seats are  enclosed in their own mini-cabins and extend to 82 inches. They face a dressing table-style unit with an enormous TV screen.

In the nose of the aircraft, there is a self-service bar, but the unique feature of this cabin, this aircraft and, indeed, this airline, is the showers, meaning that you can be first off the aircraft dressed and ready for business. We have detailed editorial reviews of this product (see below).
