Next month, Dubai-based Emirates airline will be launching a unique new luxury for its first-class passengers: on-board shisha.
The airline, which is known for its luxurious offerings, will include this option alongside pre-existing pampers like its ‘Signature Spa and Onboard Lounges.' Passengers will be able to order a shisha from the on-board menu while at their seat and then smoke in the lounge after the main meal.
“This new service will provide our Middle Eastern passengers with the sort of home comforts they've come to expect on our award-winning airline while presenting those flying to the Middle East for the first time with the opportunity to sample one of the true tastes of Arabia before they've even landed,” the Emirates statement declares.
With this new offering, Emirate Airlines has re-defined the concept of on-board luxury.
