Emirates’ new toys for young travelers
Emirates has released its newest range of toys, the Fly with Me Animals for infants and toddlers and specially designed Fly with Me Lonely Planet activity bags for those aged between six and 12 years old. The new toys are now available on board, ahead of the upcoming holiday season.
Emirates’ Fly with Me Animals is a new take on its signature kid’s products. Each character represents a specific region and will help children learn more about its habitat.
The first four animals to make their debut on board are: Lewis the Lion from Africa, Peek U the Panda from China, Enrico the Monkey from Latin America, and Leila the Camel from the Middle East. Four new Fly with Me Animals will be introduced every six months.
The Fly With Me magazine on board has also been revamped to feature the animals. The activity- filled publication is produced exclusively for Emirates’ young flyers.
“Over 4 million children travel with us each year, which makes young travellers among our most important customers. We know how challenging it can be for parents to keep their children occupied and happy on flights,” said Adel Al Redha, Emirates’ EVP and COO.
Emirates has also partnered with Lonely Planet to create activity bags containing travel content tailored for children. The Fly with Me Lonely Planet products come in four variations – two specially designed Kid’s Retro- Style Rucksacks, and two Kid’s Cool Bags.
Each bag features different content to encourage a sense of adventure in young travelers. These include fold- out world maps, travel journals, plastic drink bottles, cards with world facts and various educational books exclusive to Emirates.
Meal times on board have also been given extra attention. The special meals offered to children aged between two and 12 years will be served on newly designed meal trays featuring the iconic Emirates cabin crew and pilots.
Children travelling on Emirates will be kept occupied with its award-winning inflight entertainment system, ice Digital Widescreen, which features over 25 dedicated kids TV channels and over 40 classic Disney movies. They will be given specially designed smaller headphones that are comfortable and colorful with great sound quality.
