Now you can experience First Class Suites and the signature A380 Onboard Lounge through Emirates’ fully-fledged Oculus VR app.

“Check out the cabin around your own seat in row 77 from the comfort of your home, with the airline’s award-winning and industry-leading virtual reality (VR) experiences,” said Emirates through a statement. The feature has been released on emirates.com, the airline’s mobile app, and the Oculus Store for Oculus Rift users.

“In 2018, we were the world’s first airline to introduce advanced web VR technology on our digital platforms, offering customers an immersive opportunity to learn about the fantastic Emirates experience that awaited them before they stepped on board,” stated Boutros Boutros, Emirates Divisional Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications, Marketing, and Brand.

“It is also particularly relevant right now, as many people have not traveled for a while due to the pandemic and are seeking inspiration and researching and rediscovering their flight options,” he added.

Furthermore, the airline plans to enable its customers to explore destinations, walk around the cabin, and book and pay for their Emirates flights from within the Emirates Oculus VR app.

The Emirates Oculus VR app currently features realistic, life-size, interactive cabin interior experiences onboard Emirates’ flagship A380 and Boeing 777-300ER Gamechanger. The application allows the users to check out items aboard the Onboard Lounge, access the Shower Spa, and even go into the cockpit.
