Emirates Unveils Luxe First Class Check-In Lounge at DXB

Emirates has opened the doors to its newly designed First Class check-in lounge at Dubai International Airport, offering an elevated ground experience for its most exclusive flyers. Located in Terminal 3, Emirates First replaces the previous lounge, which closed earlier this year for renovations. The redesigned space is reserved for First Class passengers and Skywards Platinum members, combining elegance and discretion from the very first step of the journey.

The lounge is tailored to provide a seamless and calming start to the travel experience. Travellers can complete check-in formalities from the comfort of leather armchairs using provided iPads, or opt for traditional check-in counters. With dedicated baggage drop and fast-track access to security and immigration, the transition from curbside to gate is as smooth as it is stylish.

Architecturally, the lounge blends warm wood flooring with soft carpeting and marble detailing. Large columns, discreet lighting, and the complete removal of digital advertisements contribute to an understated, serene aesthetic. Global timepieces from Rolex add a touch of heritage luxury, while every corner of the space is designed with privacy and tranquillity in mind.

This latest addition brings Emirates’ lounge total at DXB to seven, including three First Class spaces. Passengers also benefit from complimentary chauffeur service to and from the airport. As Adel Al Redha, Emirates’ Deputy President & COO, puts it, the new lounge marks “another level of hospitality,” reaffirming the airline’s commitment to enhancing every stage of the travel journey.
