Did you already want to experience luxury aboard an Emirates flight in B777 First Class?<\/strong> In this article, I tell you about my experience in detail flight from Dubai – Toronto. But before we “welcome” you aboard this Emirates B777 First Class here’s a little introduction to booking this flight.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”What is the Emirates First Class fare on the Dubai – Toronto flight?” google_fonts=”” el_id=”what_is_the_emirates_first_class_fare_on_the_dubai_-_toronto_flight_”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

To begin with, do you know the price of this Emirates First Class? Only for this one-way flight, it costs more than 16,500 CAD so imagine for three flights in First Class!<\/p>\n

To live this wonderful experience of three flights with Emirates in First<\/strong> Class, I used 150 000 Alaska miles and 70 CAD of taxes!<\/p>\n

I booked this crazy 28-hour flight itinerary over two days to test out Emirates’ old and new First Class and fly DXB-CDG-DXB-YYZ. It was an exceptional experience that I was able to offer myself. I enjoyed every minute of it, as you can imagine!<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”120948″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

For comparison, economy class seats cost approximately 1,700 CAD and business class seats cost 5,617 CAD.<\/p>\n

Check out my flight story for Emirates’ New First Class<\/a> B777 between Dubai and Paris.<\/p>\n

Once my round trip in this new First Class was made, I arrived in Dubai in the early morning, where an Emirates agent was waiting for me at the exit of the plane to take me to the security (to take the 3rd flight of my series) by cart. A very appreciated personalized service!<\/p>\n

Once through security, he took me to the Emirates First Class lounge,<\/a> where I enjoyed a quick breakfast before taking my 3rd and final flight with Emirates to Toronto.<\/p>\n

I had a great time on each flight, trying the products offered. Here is a complete description of what awaits a First Class passenger on Emirates’ B777.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is no longer possible to fly on Emirates to use Alaska Mileage Plan Miles as I used to do. But Emirates has its fare structure for using Aeroplan points. The grid is dynamic, and the rates may change.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”248756″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

A First Class flight can be costly in Aeroplan points, but it’s still a tremendous once-in-a-lifetime experience if you have a lot of points. In this case, you should opt for a flight of more than 6 hours and the new Game Changer First Class cabin.<\/p>\n

The Emirates fleet consists of 114 Airbus A380s and 153 Boeing 777s. What are the advantages of flying an A380?<\/p>\n

The B777, Boeing’s seventh wonder, is fitted with First Class luxury cabins. The A380s are known for their spa showers offered to First Class passengers and their private lounge-bar.<\/p>\n

Economy class offers a 3-4-3 seating configuration. The seats are slightly reclining with an HD touchscreen and ICE entertainment, a tablet and a cup holder.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”180464″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_custom_heading text=”Business Class” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=”” el_id=”business_class”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Business class offers a 2-3-2 seat configuration. The middle seat is not the most recommended as you are squeezed between two seats. Choosing the seats on the window side and towards the front is better. Jean-Maximilien had the opportunity to try it. Do not hesitate to consult his review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is a reclining seat with a large HD touch screen, a mini-tablet control, a reading lamp, a document holder and a water bottle holder.<\/p>\n

The First Class cabin consists of two rows of four suites at the front of the aircraft. They are closed by an electric sliding door to give you more privacy. However, the doors are not complete as in the new first class<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”188143″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”My Emirates B777 First Class flight experience” google_fonts=”” el_id=”my_emirates_b777_first_class_flight_experience”][vc_custom_heading text=”The seat” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=”” el_id=”the_seat”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The First Class cabin consists of 8 private suites. Thus, each traveller has a personal space closed by a sliding door for more privacy. I chose the window seat to take advantage of the brightness with its three windows.<\/p>\n

The cabin style has a bling-bling with its golden hues, glossy woodwork, mirrors and lamps, and electrical gadgets. Everything is in the roundness and excess as if we were in an artist’s box.<\/p>\n

At the time, this is surprising. Nothing to do with an Air France First Class, for example! Then we let ourselves be taken in the game to open\/close each accessory and be “pampered” by the crew.<\/p>\n

The beige leather seat is wide and comfortable and has a headrest, adjustable footrest and armrests (with built-in storage or remote control for TV). On the side, a personal Minibar with lighting opens and closes electronically: bottles of water and sparkling drinks are offered.<\/p>\n

Near the headrest, you can adjust the brightness with a golden light.<\/p>\n

In front of it, besides the vast space to stretch out the legs (I would have room to put my suitcase and bag there), there is a mini hairdresser with a half-arch mirror, a lamp and products offered by the airline. There is:<\/p>\n
