Emirates’ Business Class: Manchester to the Maldives
| 10th September 2019
Emirates’ business class: Manchester to the Maldives – with its blue skies, sparkling seas, stunning beaches and some of the best hotels in the world, the Maldives is a dream destination.
Flights to the Maldives touch down in small capital island of Male, where the adventure starts with onward connections – either by seaplanes or speedboat – to your resort.
Travelling long-haul though can be exhausting though, especially so when flying through multiple time zones and having to catch connecting flights onwards to your resort.
That’s why VIVA has seven great reasons why you should choose business class over economy when flying with Emirates to ensure your dream holiday gets off to a good start.
- Complimentary Chauffeur Service
Chauffeur-driven cars.
The service begins right from your front door of your home with a chauffeur driven car picking you up and drops you off at Manchester Airport terminal 1 building. This door-to-door service means that you seamlessly enjoy the luxury of Emirates right from the start often travelling in a top of the range Mercedes or BMW.
- Priority Check-in & Fast-track through Security
Check-in with Emirates.
Once you’ve checked in at one of its speedy counters for business and first-class passengers use only, you’ll be fast-tracked through security on departure, in transit and upon arrival at your travel & leisure destination.
- Access to its Worldwide Lounges
Business class lounge in Dubai.
Leave the hustle and bustle of the airport behind with guaranteed access as a business passenger to one of the airline’s award-winning lounges all over the world. Its lounge in Dubai spans the whole terminal – it’s huge! There’s complimentary food and drink A La Carte style, a champagne bar, ice cream carts, smoking rooms, sleeping areas, showers and a spa.
