Emirates Airlines is enhancing its travel experience for children with a range of new services and amenities aimed at making flights more enjoyable for young passengers. The airline has introduced several features across various aspects of the travel journey.

Families traveling with Emirates will benefit from priority boarding at all international airports. Once on board, children can enjoy meals specifically tailored to their tastes, such as nuggets, mini burgers, pizzas, and healthier snack options. These meals are available on most routes except some short-haul flights within the GCC region.

Entertainment options have been expanded significantly. "Emirates is the OG for inflight entertainment – with the biggest screens and the best content," according to the airline. Children can access over 100 movies and a wide selection of TV shows from popular channels like Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. A dedicated 'Wizarding World' folder offers 16 Harry Potter titles, while other content includes Marvel selections and series such as SpongeBob SquarePants.

From August 1, a new movie titled "CHICKEN JOCKEY" will be added to the lineup. In addition to video entertainment, Emirates provides music channels including Spotify onboard, catering to various musical tastes.

Children flying with Emirates can also engage in non-digital activities by requesting a 'Fly with Me' activity pack filled with puzzles and drawing tutorials. For those interested in gaming, there are up to 100 video games available.

The airline is offering new collectible kit bags for children aged 7-12 years old. Younger kids have their own selection of bags and toys as well. To capture memories during flights, cabin crew use instant Polaroid cameras to take photos that passengers can keep as souvenirs.

At Dubai International Airport (DXB), families can take advantage of complimentary strollers for toddlers and babies. During peak travel periods, a dedicated family check-in area helps reduce waiting times. Additionally, free ice cream is offered to travelers passing through DXB on weekends until July 20.

For unaccompanied minors aged 5-11 years traveling alone, Emirates provides comprehensive support throughout their journey. This includes an Unaccompanied Minors Lounge equipped with video games and refreshments.

Parents traveling with infants can access organic baby food onboard along with other amenities like infant kits containing diapers and changing mats. Special seats beside bassinets are available for comfortable sleeping arrangements during flights.

Lastly, young travelers can join the Emirates Skysurfers loyalty program to earn Skywards Miles which can be redeemed for future adventures or upgrades.
