Emirates is redefining Economy Class travel with the world’s first U-Dream headrest
Emirates has launched U-Dream, the world’s first headrest to provide full head and neck support in Economy Class. Thanks to its adjustable design, it significantly improves passenger comfort, particularly on long-haul flights.
Already available on select Airbus A350s, U-Dream will be gradually rolled out across the entire A350 fleet, future Boeing 777Xs, and the modernized A380s and Boeing 777s. This innovation demonstrates Emirates’ commitment to providing an increasingly comfortable travel experience in Economy Class.
With two daily flights from Geneva and Zurich, Emirates provides key connections between Switzerland, Dubai, and beyond through its international hub at Dubai International Airport, serving vacationers, business travelers, and passengers visiting friends or family.
The airline’s global network includes 138 destinations in 73 countries. With its state-of-the-art fleet, Emirates offers its customers exceptional comfort and service in all classes, a professional and friendly cabin crew, and an in-flight entertainment program featuring more than 6,500 on-demand channels.
Emirates operates its flights to Geneva using the latest Boeing 777, featuring a modernized four-class cabin, including Premium Economy and a new Business Class in a 1-2-1 configuration. The two daily flights to Zurich are operated by an Airbus A380 and a Boeing 777, respectively.
