Emirates Game Changer First to Dubai

Emirates Game Changer New First Class to Dubai

Checking in for my flights to Dubai and Cape Town.

ORD T5 is an embarrassment.  Even worse that Emirates partners with a pathetic lounge.

What a dump.

With gross food options.

The new LOT Business Lounge looks really nice from what I can see.  How about making a deal with them?

The SAS Lounge was so depressing that I gave up and decided to hang out Rick Bayless' Tortas Frontera, conveniently located right across from the Emirates gate.

My Crispy Chicken Milanesa was fabulous!

Gorgeous Gamechanger First Class cabin...

My Suite 2A tonight...

No more cheap stuff at the gate, as Dom is served as the predeparture champagne.

Each First Class suite has individual temperature controls.

Taxiing for take-off.

In the air, the really good stuff... Dom P2.

Tonight's menu...

And wine list...

Showtime: Emirates First Class style.

Tonight's amuse bouche.

Oh yeah!

Seared prawn starter.

Wowza!

Delicious cream of mushroom soup.

And fabulous chicken biryani.

Why not?

If you insist.

Nighttime pics of our gorgeous cabin.

Bedtime.

Another cool feature is being able to select your own lighting color.

I went with my favorite blue.

But a push of the button gets you other colors...

After a wonderful 7 hours of sleep, descending to Dubai.

What a wonderful flight.  It's hard to beat Emirates First Class especiallty on the Game Changer.
