Does Emirates live up to the hype? We find out in a 3-way cabin battle

Emirates, for many airline passengers, can do no wrong.

It's a multiple winner of the Skytrax ‘’ award, is continuously cited by MailOnline readers as the best carrier (in fact, , they voted it No.1) – and it is the darling of YouTubers, who queue up to film themselves in the top-deck A380 first-class shower suite.

But I wanted to find out whether Emirates is plaudit-worthy from back to front and top to bottom. Is it winning trophies because of a halo effect from its much-talked-about first-class cabin? Or does it also deliver in spades in economy, premium economy and business class?
