BCD Travel International Customer Service Manager, Anna Chen Chow, recently travelled from Sydney to Auckland, New Zealand, on the new Emirates A380 Airbus.
Flying business class, Anna said the first thing she noticed was the incredible internal space and size of the seats, which recline into fully flat beds.
First class and business class are on the upper deck, where Anna and her fellow corporate travellers were treated to a breakfast of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs at a central dining table with a white linen tablecloth. On the way back to Sydney, she was served pumpkin ravioli for dinner. Both meals where served on china plates.
At the rear of business class is a designated bar area, an ideal spot for business travellers to unwind after a long day.
Anna says the Airbus is ideal for corporate travellers as it provides space and comfort.
“The Airbus would be especially suitable for business travellers flying overnight for a meeting the next day, as they would certainly feel very relaxed and ready for the day ahead upon arrival,” Anna says.
Flying first class is an especially luxurious experience for corporate travellers, Anna says.
“The seats in first class are amazing as passengers have their own individual suites plus two large bathrooms with dedicated crew to clean and service them.”
At BCD Travel, Anna is responsible for overseeing the international service team, which includes making arrangements for corporate travel clients and liaising with suppliers.
