5 cool new Emirates upgrades that will transform your next trip

The world’s largest international airline is also undoubtedly one of its best. And, in recent times, Emirates has announced several big upgrades that will make flying more comfortable – regardless of the ticket you have. In addition to improvements to the in-flight experience, the airline has also rolled out a new scheme to give you greater peace of mind when travelling, added new flights to popular destinations and more benefits. Emirates is set to introduce a ‘U-Dream Headrest’ to all seats in all of its A350s and most of its Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s. The adjustable headrest will offer a whole new level of support and comfort in-flight for travellers – and save you from a last-minute pillow purchase at the airport. The U-Dream is a multi-way adjustable headrest designed to provide full neck and head support to make it easier to fall asleep and relax while travelling long distances. The headrest will move vertically and tilt to align with passengers of different heights and body types. It’s one of those upgrades that is a low-key game-changer, especially for long-haul flights. All Emirates’ A350 aircraft will have the U-Dream headrest installed by the end of 2026.
