The journey really is the destination in Emirates' legendary business class.
I have a confession.
No, I have a destination in mind, and I’m ready to get there.

I like flying, but I wouldn’t consider any flight the point of my trip.
That is, unless we’re talking about anEmirates flight in business classor better.
I’d take a 16-hour flight to nowhere and back for that.

Emirates' business andfirst-class flightsare the stuff of legends, but not all upgrades are created equal.
The crew will also install your mattress pad and take your first three-course meal order.
Espresso martini, Aperol spritz, or an 18-year-old scotch?

For your appetizer, Cajun prawns or a traditional Arabic mezze platter?
Pan-seared sea bass or lamb kabsa for dinner?
And for dessert, how about a coconut panna cotta with a side of seasonal fruit?

Not to mention sporadic arrivals of nuts fresh from the oven, the symbol of fine flying.
Still, delightful as it is, remember that even business class can’t shield you from crying babies.
