ubai-based airline Emirates has taken service differentiation to a whole new level as it now provides not silk or cotton but “seaweed-infused” pajamas for its first-class passengers.
Dubbed “the world’s first moisturizing loungewear designed for an airline”, the fabric of the pajamas is created with “hydra active microcapsule technology” composed of “billions of capsules that release moisturizing sea kelp during movement”, as stated by Emirates on its website.
This new perk aims to prevent first-class passengers from getting dry skin, which can occur on long-haul flights, and allow them to leave their flight feeling as rejuvenated as when they boarded.

The sleeping suits — along with their moisturizing ability — are said to last around 10 washes, so they can also be worn post-flight. If that does not make passengers’ experience cozy enough, the carrier is also offering “faux sheepskin blankets”, slippers and eye masks for extra comfort.
Classy leather kits consisting of the aforementioned items will be available in eight designs for Emirates' first-class travelers on overnight flights. (nik/kes)
