A major airline is looking to take luxury travel to new heights.
Dubai-based Emirates is exploring a major upgrade to its first-class experience — introducing private bathrooms directly inside individual suites, according to Abu Dhabi outlet The National.
"I'm working on en-suite bathrooms in first-class suites," Emirates President Tim Clark said Thursday at the 2026 Capa Airline Leader Summit in Berlin.
"I want everyone to hear that so everyone rushes out the door to find out how they can get bathrooms in first-class suites."
Clark added that Emirates is "constantly refining the product" to prevent it from "going stale," according to The National.

The reported move comes as airlines across the industry ramp up investment in high-end travel, rolling out upgraded onboard experiences to attract premium customers.
