Hold onto your hats, tennis fans, because Wimbledon is officially in full swing!

From 30 June to 13 July, the hallowed grounds of The All England Lawn Tennis Club will be abuzz, and our friends at Emirates are back as the Official Airline Partner, ready to serve up some seriously “fly better” experiences – both in the clouds and on the court. YAY!

Emirates is kicking off a seriously epic summer of sport by transforming their flights between Dubai and the UK into Wimbledon-themed havens. Think bespoke menus, branded beverage coasters, and even headrests getting a sporty makeover across every cabin. And if you’re lucky enough to be on the ground at the event, you could even win a holiday to Dubai just by visiting their interactive booth. Is that a grand slam or what?
