Season’s
greetings at Emirates Lounges
It’s

passengers jetting off to greet family and friends for the holiday season can
pause to indulge in some festive fare before boarding. Business Class lounges

Stollen cake, soaked and spiced lady fingers with a Christmas dulce-whipped
ganache, roasted chestnut and biscuit cake with a pop of lime and lemon sable.
First Class Lounges will also have the flavorsome winter favorites -
gingerbread profiteroles, dark chocolate salted caramel tarts and cinnamon baba
au orange. Those dreaming of a white Christmas can enjoy some gingerbread ice
cream and Perrier’s winter white cosmo – festively flavored water. For those
who seek a warm and cozy feeling, savor the aromatic flavors of a cinnamon
cortado, toffee nut oat latte, gingerbread mocha, or relax with a special
festive tea brew by Dilmah- Charming magic or Christmas
Holly Jolly. Around the globe, Emirates Lounges will be offering festive
treats too, with local favorites taking center stage.
