Emirates may be the best airline in the world when it comes to themed offerings for holidays and the carrier has just announced what guests can expect onboard this Valentines Day.
The Dubai based carrier will have Valentine-themed cakes and chocolates onboard, along with a range of pink desserts in Emirates lounges, rosé champagne, Valentines Day movies and music.
Love is in the Air
When Emirates passengers take to the skies on Valentine’s Day, First Class customers will be welcomed onboard with a glass of Dom Pérignon Rosé 2008. Business Class customers will be presented with a glass of with Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial.
First and Business Class customers will be gifted a mini giftbox of chocolate brownies and miniature raspberry ganache tarts adorned with hearts. Customers traveling in Premium Economy and Economy can enjoy raspberry chocolate brownies after the meal service.
Emirates passengers flying on the carrier’s A380 in First and Business Class can visit the Onboard Lounge which will be serving a selection of sweets including lemon and raspberry cupcakes, profiteroles ,and mini tarts.

Summary
Emirates has once again rolled out a special onboard and in-lounge offerings to celebrate a holiday. This time it’s Valentine’s Day and, while it’s minor in the grand scheme of things, I appreciate that the carrier goes all out to celebrate holidays throughout the year.
I still haven’t been onboard an Emirates flight (they should fire me from my travel blogging job) but the photos make these offerings look delicious!
