Emirates First Class from Bangkok to Hong Kong Starting at €769
When someone thinks of Emirates‘ first class, they imagine full luxury for four-digit or five-digit prices. However, there is a possibility to enjoy this experience for 2 x 3 hours for less than €1.000, or THB 28,360 (~€769) to be precise. The price can get even lower, when you select mixed classes, although that would mean that you only fly first class once. You would fly from Bangkok, Thailand to Hong Kong on a fifth-freedom flight.
If you are willing to fly business class on the way back the price goes down to THB 23,310 (~€632) and if you are fine with economy, your total will be THB 17,002 (~€461). That’s cheaper than booking a one-way first class ticket for the same route at THB 21,270 (~€577).
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Emirates with your preselected flight dates.
You would fly Emirates’ Airbus A380 for approximately 3 hours. To describe the depth of luxury that you’d get on Emirates’ First Class, I would run out of adjectives. You can see the giant LCD screen in the second and third pictures, the minibar, the vanity table and the IFE controller tablet in the first picture. There is even a mirror. Before we even speak about the dining experience, you also get pyjamas and a Bvlgari amenity kit. It’s not hard to find eBay advertisements for these products over €100. The one we linked has pretty good pictures of what you will get (and that you can keep!).
Possibly, the most outstanding feature of Emirates’ Airbus A380 is the shower spa. While it’s more suitable for longer flights, there is nothing to block you from taking a shower on this shorter hop. Similarly, sleeping is not something many would do on this hop, you can always ask the cabin crew to make your bed. If you decide to stay awake and don’t want to be locked in your cabin (you could do that), there is also an onboard lounge/bar. I promised to go back to dining, however, a review of it by One Mile at a Time could tell it better.
You also get free chauffeur service. In Bangkok, you can enjoy the Emirates lounge, while you have access to the Plaza Premium Lounge in Hong Kong. Emirates does have a lounge at HKG, although it is temporarily closed as of writing. It is possible that it will reopen by the time you fly from there. As mentioned above, this is a fifth freedom flight that operates from Dubai to Bangkok and then onwards to Hong Kong or vice versa.
