DUBAI, UAE, 31 October 2025: Emirates has garnered another slew of awards this month, including \u2018Best International Airline\u2019, \u2018Best International First Class\u2019, and \u2018Best International Airline Lounge\u2019 from the Forbes Travel Guide Verified Air Travel Awards, as well as a host of titles from entities such as the World Travel Awards, The Times and Sunday Times Travel Awards, and the Cond\u00e9 Nast Readers\u2019 Choice Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the second year running, Emirates has been voted as the Best International Airline by 9,000 frequent fliers in the hospitality industry, including luxury travel advisors and Forbes Travel Guides inspectors, with results validated using a star ratings system.

The secret to the Dubai-based airline\u2019s success is that it continually refines every aspect of the passenger experience. For example, Emirates recently debuted an opulent lounge-like check-in area<\/a> for its First-Class and Skywards Platinum members, and it\u2019s the first autism-certified airline<\/a>, with more than 30,000 cabin crew and ground staff trained to support travellers with autism.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Echoing the same sentiment, Emirates was revealed as the \u2018Best Long-Haul Airline\u2019 at The Times and The Sunday Times Travel Awards 2025 \u2013 cast from 900,000 reader votes. This award was credited to Emirates for its \u2018cabin crew service, First Class suites (including showers) and fleet of roomy Airbus A380s.\u2019 The Times also mentioned that Emirates continues to expand its footprint and has \u2018connected the Middle East to five new destinations this year, including Shenzhen in southern China\u2019 and \u2018Siem Reap, the entry point to the Angkor Wat complex in Cambodia.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates also recently scored 87.86 in the Cond\u00e9 Nast Readers\u2019 Choice Awards Best Airline Category, and won the title of Middle East\u2019s leading airline brand at the regional finals of the World Travel Awards 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates takes first place for its First Class<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates is the world\u2019s largest operator of international First Class travel – offering 26,800 seats a week and the largest inventory of international First Class seats in the industry, entirely comprised of private suites. At the recent Forbes awards, Emirates also claimed \u2018Best International First Class -Emirates First Class on the Boeing 777-300ER\u2019 for its suites that \u2018deliver sky-high luxury: floor-to-ceiling doors, zero-gravity seats, Bulgari fragrances and food\u2014ranging from movie snacks to caviar\u2019, as well as \u2018extras like chauffeured transfers, a service that helps passengers quickly navigate connections in Dubai and airport lounge access\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates was bestowed the title of Forbes\u2019 Best International Airline Lounge\u2019 for its First Class Lounge in Dubai, which offers \u2018everything a traveller could need and more: delicious dishes ranging from baked John Dory to 72-hour braised beef short ribs, a cigar bar, shower spas, a complimentary 15-minute spa treatment and plentiful areas to rest or work. Though arguably the best perk is the convenient direct boarding from the lounge.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
