Emirates has celebrated the opening of its dedicated lounge for its First and Business Class passengers as well as Gold members of Skywards, the airline's frequent flyer programme, at Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

The lounge is located in the International Departure Concourse and located next to Gate 75, it offers an extensive menu of complimentary hot and cold gourmet dishes, as well as a full bar service.

The 860m2 lounge, capable of holding 165 passengers at any one time has the same signature touches as all Emirates lounges across the airline's global network. Its amenities include designer shower rooms, cream leather lounge couches, 52-inch plasma TVs and a fully equipped Business Centre with Internet access and Wi-Fi.

Edwin Lau, Emirates' Vice President, Greater China said, “This is the second lounge that we have opened in China, after Beijing in 2009. It is a very special occasion for us and demonstrates our commitment to our passengers from China. We are convinced that the continued upgrading of our services is the ultimate driving force behind the sustained and robust demand for Emirates flights. And it is our loyal passengers that have made possible our great success in Shanghai and all over China.”

The Emirates Lounge caters for passengers on Emirates' two non-stop, daily flights currently operated between Shanghai and Dubai- EK305, departure at 0715hrs & EK303, departure at 2330hrs.
