Emirates is bringing the vibrant spirit of Holi to the skies! On March 13 and 14, passengers flying to and from seven major Indian cities—Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Mumbai, will be treated to festive delights onboard.
A Taste of Holi at 35,000 Feet
Passengers will be served Kesar Gujiya, a beloved Indian sweet traditionally enjoyed during Holi. This deep-fried dumpling, filled with solidified milk and dried fruits, will come in a specially designed box inspired by the festival’s lively colors.
For First and Business Class travelers, the celebration begins with a refreshing Thandai, a chilled milk-based drink infused with nuts, saffron, and rose petals, setting the tone for a festive journey.
Bollywood and Beyond – A Festive Entertainment Lineup
To keep the Holi spirit alive, Emirates’ ice entertainment system will feature a special collection of Bollywood films, including the latest hits like Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, Patna Shuklla, and Shaitaan. Fans of romance can indulge in Yash Raj Films classics, while music lovers can enjoy over 40 Indian music albums and curated Spotify playlists, including Desi Hits, Desi Pop, and Desi Hip Hop Mixtape.
