RAISING THE BAR

Emirates has recently unveiled its next-generation A380 Onboard Lounge with a sleek design inspired by the cabins of private yachts. While the popular horseshoe-shaped bar has been retained, the lounge can now accommodate up to 26 passengers, including newly designed seating areas for eight that come equipped with a table and window view. A palette of lighter champagne colors lends an airier feel to the space, which features soundproof curtains and window blinds integrated with LED mood lighting ( emirates.com).
