Emirates has opened the first of its new signature lounge concept in
Germany's Munich and Frankfurt airports, the carrier announced on Tuesday (30 June).
The
new lounges provide "more private areas" than previously available,
including for meetings, and communal spaces for both social and working
areas.
The spaces also feature what Emirates called locally inspired
dining, in-house baristas and mixologists, upgraded shower suites,
dedicated male and female prayer rooms, and quiet zones. Each seat has
wireless charging and universal power access.
Emirates lounges are
available to first-class and business-class customers, as well as
Emirates Skywards Platinum and Gold loyalty members, including those
travelling in premium economy and economy class, according to the
carrier. Paid access also is available.
New Emirates signature
lounges are expected to open in July in Manchester, UK, in August in
Mauritius and in October in Istanbul.
Emirates will invest more than AED 50 million (US$13.6 million) in each lounge, according to the carrier.
