Emirates Airline has two A380s now serving the Dubai-Jeddah route, which has been a popular destination for business travellers.
The Emirates A380 has 517 seats with a three class configuration- it has 76 lie-flat seats in business class and 14 suites in first class. The first class section boasts shower spas and a spacious onboard lounge.
The first class private suites have an electronically operated sliding door, a personal mini-bar, and a vanity table, mirror and wardrobe. The seat has an in built massage system and can convert into a fully-flat bed with a mattress for a good night’s sleep. Passengers can watch movies on the big screen wall-mounted TV and choose meals from the a la carte menu any time during the flight. The privacy slider between seats can be lowered so that passengers can talk to their travelling companion, and the mood lighting can be adjusted to suit the passenger’s mood and time of day.
In business class, there are 79 inch flat beds and every seat has in-seat power supply for charging electronics, a personal mini-bar, a big-screen personal TV, lots of storage space and a privacy divider.
“The A380 has received an overwhelmingly positive response from the Saudi market since it was introduced onto our Jeddah route in February 2010. The launch of a second A380, Emirates’ flagship aircraft, into Jeddah highlights our commitment to providing travellers in Saudi with the very latest in aircraft innovations,” said Emirates.
