Taking place from 29 June – 12 July at The All England Lawn Tennis Club, The Championships remains one of the most prestigious events on the global sporting calendar. Emirates is helping passengers get into the spirit onboard, while also bringing its signature hospitality closer to fans at SW19.
Wimbledon fever at 40,000 feet
Emirates’ passengers will be in for a treat at 40,000 feet with Wimbledon inspired dishes served in every cabin on all flights between Dubai and the UK from 29 June – 12 July.
The iconic British strawberry will take a starring role in the desserts – some examples of the delicious treats passengers can expect include honey cake served with strawberry compote and clotted cream in First Class, a strawberry tart served with pistachio sauce and strawberry yogurt in Business Class and Premium Economy and a cream cheese mousse topped with strawberry compote and hazelnut streusel in Economy.
Passengers can enjoy a bowl of strawberries and cream or sip on a Pimm’s cocktail in the A380 Onboard Lounge, and snack on tennis-themed pastries. The Emirates Lounges in Dubai and the UK will also serve quintessentially British menu items such as fish and chips and coronation chicken to celebrate Wimbledon season at every point of the journey.
Sports fans travelling during the tournament won't miss a moment of the action thanks to Emirates' award-winning ice inflight entertainment system. Live coverage of The Championships will be available via Sport 24 and Sport 24 Extra on all flights, alongside thousands of hours of additional entertainment content.
Passengers in First Class will also be gifted Emirates-branded Wimbledon 2026 seasonal towels, produced by Christy, the Official Towel Supplier of The Championships.
