WIN a €150 Brown Thomas voucher to stock up on all your summer holiday essentials

It’s that time of year when airports are thronged, a good suitcase is hard to find, and the one thing we are collectively excited for is that first cocktail by the beach.

Yes, it’s summer, which means many of us are heading off to sunnier climes, where good weather is guaranteed and the idea of carrying an umbrella ‘just in case’ feels laughable.

The excitement for a trip is always at its peak in the airport and on the plane. All the possibilities of what could unfold are ahead of you – the beach days, the balmy nights, the spontaneous detours and unexpected discoveries. You’re still in your ‘holiday version’ of reality, where anything feels possible and nothing has gone wrong yet. The airport queues and the chaos are worth it.

And now the holiday experience is about to get even better in Ireland with the launch of Emirates Premium Economy cabins.

This is a comfort zone redefined, a space designed for those who want to begin relaxing before they’ve even reached their destination. Travellers can expect wider, cream leather seats with adjustable headrests, deeper recline and raised cushioned leg rests, perfect for sinking in under the soft glow of the overhead mood lighting. On the Boeing 777, these spacious seats are positioned at the front of the cabin for quicker boarding and easier disembarkation.

Meanwhile, it’s not just about space. The elevated dining experience includes generous servings of regional dishes on Royal Doulton china with stainless steel cutlery wrapped in linen. A polished woodgrain table folds out from your seat, with a side table ready to hold a glass of something special, like Chandon sparkling wine or a vintage from the Business Class list.

When it comes to entertainment, Emirates doesn’t hold back. The upgraded in-flight system features a 13.3-inch HD screen with thousands of options, from films to albums to binge-worthy series. Prefer your own headphones? You can connect via Bluetooth. You’ll even enjoy faster onboard Wi-Fi on the latest Boeing 777.

All in all, you may not want to leave the plane upon landing.
