Emirates on Monday announced an upgrade of service from Dubai to Los Angeles (LA) with the introduction of the flagship A380 starting on December 2, bringing Emirates award-winning service to its first US West Coast destination and facilitating connections to the western US.
"Demand for our award-winning onboard service has steadily grown and customers have been requesting our industry-leading A380 to LA for some time now," said Orhan Abbas, Emirates Commercial Senior Vice-President of the Americas. "As Los Angeles is known for its luxury and the Hollywood lifestyle, bringing our A380 into the market was a natural fit as it allow every Emirates passenger the chance to experience the glamorous life at 35,000 feet before they arrive in LA."
The 489-seat Emirates A380 offers 14 Private First Class Suites, 76 lie-flat beds in Business Class and 399 spacious seats in Economy Class. First Class passengers have access to two Onboard Shower Spas, while all premium passengers on the upper deck can socialise at the Onboard Lounge with an array of beverages and snacks. Passengers in all classes of service experience Emirates renowned hospitality, receive a generous baggage allowance, have in-flight Wi-Fi and mobilephone connectivity, as well as access to the industry-leading ice entertainment system which boasts more than 1,400 channels of films, TV programmes, games and music. This aircraft replaces the Boeing 777-300 ER which has serviced the route previously.
The A380 service will operate daily as EK215 departing Dubai at 0820hrs (local time) and arriving at Los Angeles' Tom Bradley International Terminal at 1250hrs (local). The return flight, EK216, departs Los Angeles at 1600hrs (local) and arrives in Dubai at 1950hrs (local) the following day. The arrival time of the A380 in LA will offer passengers easy connections to desirable destinations in the US such as Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Diego and Honolulu.
The announcement of the A380 on the airline's longest route in terms of distance comes on the heels of last week's announcement of A380 service added to Zurich, Switzerland. The A380 to Los Angeles compliments the double daily A380 flights already in place between Dubai and New York's John F. Kennedy airport and becomes the 23rd A380 destination on the Emirates global route network. Emirates, the largest A380 operator in the world, has 34 A380s in service and an additional 56 A380s on order; receiving one A380 delivery per month, on average.
