Emirates has done it again. The Dubai-based carrier and one of the biggest international airline has significantly expanded its portfolio of accolades. Just recently, Emirates claimed the ‘Best International Airline’ recognition at the Forbes Travel Guide Verified Air Travel Awards.
That’s not all. Emirates also claimed other major recognitions, such as ‘Best International First Class’ and ‘Best International Airline Lounge’. These updates make sense as the carrier based in Dubai puts in substantial efforts all the time to enhance the experience of its passengers and connect the Middle East to different parts of the globe. Today, Emirates is connecting Dubai International Airport (DXB) to more than a hundred international destinations.
Top things that make Emirates the ‘Best International Airline’
For the second year in a series, Emirates has been voted as the Best International Airline. This response comes from 9,000 frequent fliers, including luxury travel experts and Forbes Travel Guides inspectors. The secret to the airline’s selection for the second time is: “It continually refines every aspect of the passenger experience,” said Forbes.
This is true. Emirates is the first autism-certified airline. Tens of thousands of its staff members are trained to support travellers facing autism. Isn’t it incredible? Today, Emirates is one of the best airlines to rely on at all times. The flights take off and land on time. The staff is courteous and talented. The airline’s offerings at the airports is also thoughtful and delightful.
Basically, Emirates is touching all aspects of a passenger’s experience, starting from accessibility to hospitality. The airline is connecting Dubai to multiple important destinations globally. Recently, Emirates Dubai to Shenzhen and Dubai to Siem Reap flights took off, connecting the UAE to the Chinese Mainland and Cambodia better.

Besides being voted the ‘Best International Airline’ at the recent Forbes ceremony, Emirates has also grabbed other key accolades, such as ‘Best International First Class – Emirates First Class on the Boeing 777-300ER’ and ‘Best International Airline Lounge’.
