Whilst the month of Ramadan continues, Emirates is also getting ready to celebrate Easter – with some ground and onboard goodies.
Between the 7th and 10th of April, Emirates passengers flying in every travel class to select routes including Australia, USA, Canada, Europe, UK, Brazil, Philippines, South Africa, Mauritius, and Ghana, will be able to enjoy a selection of Easter treats.
Economy Class passengers will be offered a warm hot cross bun with their meal or an Easter dessert of carrot cake with a tres leches sauce.
Meanwhile, passengers in First, Business, and Premium Economy class will be served a chocolate cake garnished with ganache and redcurrants, or a strawberry cheesecake dotted with an elegant mini-Easter egg.
For those who are planning to enjoy the A380 Onboard Lounge, passengers can further treat themselves to traditional Easter simnel fruitcake with marzipan.
For Orthodox Easter between the 14th and 17th of April, more goodies like the Easter cake Kulich bread will be served on routes to Russia and Greece.
Kids in all classes will receive a brightly coloured ‘Happy Easter’ biscuit shaped like an Easter egg.
On the ground too
In the Emirates Lounges, Easter food options will be offered in most locations such as lamb chops with roasted potatoes and carrots in orange jus in the First-Class Lounges of Dubai, or roasted lamb leg with dates, green olives and pomegranate in the US, pistachio-crusted lamb cutlets, with red bell peppers, olive oil coulis and spring market vegetables in Singapore, or a classic herb crusted lamb with chargrilled leeks, baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes and a tangy mint sauce in the UK.
Some nice touches for the Easter period
For those travelling during the core Easter period, it is a very nice touch at a period when travel can be stressful, as well as a reminder of the season in the air – which can be lost in the “glamour of air travel” of today.
Whilst there is some mobilisation effort to produce a service like this for a limited period, it is a detail that a lot of people will appreciate – if not straight away.
Emirates has a tendency to cater to both seasonal and celebratory requirements – and it is good to see them flex their passenger experience skills in this respect.
