Emirates utilize Boeing 777-300ER for their flights between Taipei and Dubai. The seats are arranged in 2-3-2 while most other airlines have 2-2-2 or 1-2-2 arranges. I have to say that the business class seats are quite narrow comparing to other airlines.

Emirates use Airbus A380-800 on their Dubai – London route. Emirates setup the front section of the upper deck of this type of plane as first class while the rest of the upper deck are all business class with a small bar and lounge area at the very end. Business class seats are in 1-2-1 interleaved arrangement with fully lie-flat seats. Each seat even has its own mini bar with selection of soft drinks.

Both type of business class seats offered a wireless tablet for controlling the personal entertainment system that could also be operated as a second screen for features like flight maps. However, the stability of the system had room for improvement as all three of us managed to cause system hang multiple times on different planes.

Emirates offered three-course meals for lunch and dinner while breakfast consists of two or just one courses and light meal consists of only main dishes and desserts. The tastes of the Arabian dishes were refresh and good. The main dishes on the flight to London were good, but I didn’t like the noodles on the flights back from London.
