DUBAI — Emirates’ latest Boeing 777-300ER aircraft fitted with the ‘Game Changer’ First Class product will operate between Dubai and Vienna on a daily basis from December 1, 2018.

Austria will be one of the first few countries in the world to be served by Emirates’ Boeing 777 aircraft with fully enclosed private suites inspired by MercedesBe­nz. Emirates flies to Vienna twice daily and both flights will be operated by its flagship products.

It also means customers travelling to or from Vienna can enjoy the latest Emirates products regardless of which of the two daily flights they opt for. With floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and sleek design features, Emirates’ new private suites on the Boeing 777 takes luxury and privacy to the next level.

Offering up to 40 square feet of personal space each, these spacious, fully-enclosed private suites are laid out in a 1-1-1 configurat­ion. The new suites were designed with customer comfort in mind as the seats recline into a fully flat bed and can be placed in a “zero-gravity” position inspired by Nasa technology, giving a feeling of relaxation and weightless­ness. The aircraft also boasts the industry’s first virtual windows for suites located in the middle aisle.

The virtual windows project the view from outside the aircraft using real time camera technology. In the other suites, binoculars are available for customers who want to explore the sky outside their windows. Customers in each suite can easily communicat­e with the cabin crew or request for room service through a new video call function.
