In the ever-competitive realm of luxury aviation, Emirates continues to ascend with unwavering elegance. As the world’s largest provider of international First Class seating – offering over 26,800 seats weekly – the Dubai-based carrier remains at the pinnacle of refined air travel. And now, with a suite of sophisticated new services, Emirates has once again elevated its already iconic First Class experience.

From unlimited caviar to spa-like indulgence at 40,000 feet, here’s why Emirates First Class is not just a way to travel – it’s a destination in itself.

Caviar Without Limits, Service with White Gloves

Luxury isn’t about abundance alone, it’s about thoughtful detail. Emirates’ newly unveiled First Class enhancements are a masterclass in both. Guests can now savor unlimited caviar presented in elegantly engraved dishes, perfectly aligned with the airline’s curated tableware collection.

It was time once again for a Business Class review, this time aboard a Swiss International Air Lines flight from Zurich (ZRH) to Budapest (BUD), operated by AirBaltic with an Airbus A220-300.

Having previously experienced this Swiss/AirBaltic partnership last year, I was curious to see whether AirBaltic could continue to meet the high standards set by Swiss International Air Lines and remain a worthy ambassador of the brand.

Swiss International Air Lines frequently relies on Helvetic Airways, Switzerland’s second-largest airline, for many of its European routes. My flight from Hamburg (HAM) to Zurich (ZRH) was also operated by Helvetic Airways on the relatively new Embraer E190-E2. This was also my first time flying on this aircraft type, making it the perfect opportunity for a detailed Business Class review of Helvetic’s Embraer 190-E2 operated for Swiss International Air Lines.

Nestled in the heart of northern Italy, in the beautiful and historic city of Verona, lies one of the city's standout dining experiences, Darì Ristorante & Enoteca. Located in a small, tucked-away side street, the restaurant is accessible only by foot. Parking in one of the narrow surrounding streets can be a challenge, so it's best to allow some extra time for the journey.

During my last stay in New York, as a Swiss person, I couldn’t miss a restaurant visit for cheese fondue. But if I’m going to do it, I wanted fondue that’s truly prepared by Swiss chefs. And that’s exactly what I found at The Lavaux, which offers probably the best cheese fondue in New York City.

A Business Class review of Turkish Airlines on a long-haul aircraft like the Boeing 777-300ER, but used on a short-haul route, was long overdue. That's why I took a closer look at the product and service on the route from Istanbul (IST) to Antalya (AYT). Due to the short distance, with a flight time of 90 minutes, there is of course no classic long-haul onboard service on the Boeing 777-300ER.
