Emirates recently had the pleasure of welcoming 101-year-old centenarian Rachida Smati on its flight to Algiers. To ensure her comfort, Emirates upgraded her to First Class and provided a dedicated team to fast-track her through the airport, allowing her to enjoy the First-Class lounge.
Rachida, an Algerian national, was returning to Algiers after visiting friends and family in Dubai. This marked her third visit to the city, which she counts among her favorite destinations due to its accessibility, high standards of medical care, and vibrant attractions.
Born in Algeria in 1923, Rachida first flew to Paris at 21 and has since enjoyed traveling, particularly with Emirates for its exceptional service and comfort.
