Emirates first class features private suites with closing doors (on newer 777s), lie-flat seats that convert to beds, an onboard shower spa (A380), unlimited Dom Perignon, and a multi-course meal service. The Dubai DXB first class lounge includes a cigar bar, Moet champagne bar, and spa treatments.
First class to Dubai costs $5,000-$12,000 roundtrip depending on origin and time of year. Emirates runs regular sales dropping prices 30-40%. With miles, Emirates first class costs 180,000-250,000 Emirates Skywards miles roundtrip, or as little as 100,000 Alaska miles one-way.
Emirates offers a more consistent experience with the iconic A380 shower spa and larger network. Etihad's First Apartment (A380) offers more privacy. Both are excellent. Emirates flies to Dubai DXB; Etihad to Abu Dhabi AUH (90 minutes from Dubai). For Dubai specifically, Emirates is more convenient.
