Emirates' First voted first by Forbes Emirates has closed 2004 with a premium accolade. The global business information website Forbes.com has just selected Emirates as offering the "Best First Class 2004" from among 10 top contenders. Recently the airline had been selected by the leading travel publication Globe Traveller, US for providing the "Best Overall Amenity Kit" in First and Business Class. Both honours come in the wake of the start of Emirates' services to New York in June, with its ultra-modern A340-500 aircraft that offers First Class passengers mini-suites, personal mini-bars, room service and complete privacy. Forbes.com evaluated the First Class service of top airlines on the basis of 13 criteria that included flat beds, privacy screens, on-demand television and food, limousine service, massage chairs and even pyjamas and duvets provided to passengers. Emirates emerged as the clear leader with a 12-point score. Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines and Air France were the runners-up, at 10 points each. |
