While most commercial airlines are designed to appeal to adult travelers, Emirates caters its services to travelers with children. In addition to an in-flight nanny service, Emirates also boasts an array of in-flight programming that is kid-friendly along with live puppet shows that feature its Fly With Me Animals crew. The stuffed toys include monkey Enrico, lion Lewis, camel Leila and panda Peek U.
In addition to playing with the stuffed toys, kids can solve educational puzzles on-board by checking out Emirates' Fly With Me Animals magazine -- a source for countless games and activities. Moreover, travelers with children will receive baby care kits with on-the-go essentials or kid-friendly activity kits that kids will be able to take home with them as a fun souvenir.
