Empowering customers to fly with confidence, Emirates has unveiled a suite of new services and products for people with disabilities at the 7th edition of AccessAbilities Expo in Dubai World Trade Centre. Emirates’ latest services and enhanced offerings include a new Accessible & Inclusive Travel Hub available on emirates.com for global customers – providing a wealth of information for travellers with varying accessibility requirements and enabling them to plan their journey by specific need. Emirates also revealed new onboard sensory products and fidget toys for children and adults, and an array of process enhancements across the inflight experience, as well as improved on-ground features in its hub of Dubai, and several innovative and future-focused ideas that are currently in development.

Emirates’ latest services and enhancements for customers with accessibility requirements

New ‘Accessible & Inclusive Travel Hub’ on Emirates.com

Emirates new Accessible & Inclusive Travel Hub on the flagship Emirates.com, is designed to contain all the information needed for accessible and inclusive travel, featuring accessibility-friendly navigation that allows customers to find information easily and explore the many ways that Emirates can provide travel assistance and support. Emirates’ Accessible & Inclusive Travel Hub will continue to evolve and grow to meet customer needs.

Aiming to reduce anxiety before travelling, the Accessible & Inclusive Travel Hub spent a year in development, resulting in a design that features a seamless visual style and thoughtful and user-friendly navigation options. To provide consistent, inclusive experiences, the website is built on a token-based architecture to enable seamless updates and simplified customization. Even the colour palette is rigorously tested for contrast compliance to support clarity and readability, and designs are tested with assistive technologies such as screen readers, voice control, and keyboard navigation.

Customers can choose to view and explore sections by disability; including Mobility Assistance, Visual Impairment, Hearing Impairment and Hidden Disabilities. If preferred, customers can search by looking at specific parts of the journey, which have been clearly arranged – Before your flight, Departure from Dubai, Onboard your flight, Connecting in Dubai and Arriving in Dubai. A third option allows customers to browse by specific needs, including Book Special Assistance, Prepare for travel with the autism-friendly guide, Explore Dubai Airport (DXB) Map and Sensory guides, Find Emirates Support on Be My Eyes support app for people who are visually impaired, Apply for a Sanad tourist card to access helpful services in Dubai, and more.

There are also dedicated sections on Travelling with a Wheelchair and Mobility Aids, and detailed information on Medical Travel - Apply for a Frequent Traveller Medical Card (FREMEC) for customers who have medical conditions or are travelling with medications and medical devices. The new Accessible & Inclusive Travel Hub also features a section on Family Travel with clear information on Travelling with Children, Travelling during pregnancy, and Unaccompanied Minors travel.

The Emirates Accessible & Inclusive Travel Hub has been cleverly designed so that it can be seamlessly and swiftly updated with new information and improvements, as accessible travel requirements continue to evolve. In the design and build of the hub, Emirates utilised inclusive research methods including engaging a diverse range of users including those with disabilities, in the usability studies.

New Sensory Products & Fidget Toys available onboard

Emirates has designed a range of sensory products and fidget toys for customers of all ages that will be available onboard in all cabin classes, from 1 November 2025. Sensory products and fidget toys are widely recognised for their ability to offer controlled stimulation for neurodivergent minds, allowing an overstimulated system to calm and rebalance. To support customers in this situation, Emirates has designed a tactile stress reliever in the style of an aircraft, two types of fidget cube and a branded aircraft rubber popper. The items will be given to passengers who are neurodiverse, anyone who is struggling onboard, and even to nervous flyers if appropriate.

New Mattress in Business Class to enhance comfort and minimise disruption

In Business Class, Emirates has introduced a new product and process improvement which will positively impact customers with accessibility requirements – a new ‘mattress hood.’ This is an enhancement to Emirates’ existing mattress for customers who wish to relax or sleep in Business Class – where the new mattress now has a built in ‘hood’ which attaches the mattress to the seat more firmly – similar to a fitted sheet. As the mattress is now more secure on the seat, it no longer needs to be collected by cabin crew before landing. For customers with severe mobility disabilities who prefer not to be moved mid-flight, this will be a significant improvement to comfort onboard. Emirates’ new mattress hood is approved as an exception from a safety perspective for take-off and landing.

New Accessibility Features on Inflight Entertainment – ice

Emirates is committed to setting industry standards and accessibility for people with disabilities and now offers over 600 movies with ‘Closed Captions’ and 200 movies with ‘Audio Description’, offering accessibility to customers with visual impairment. Emirates headphones are also compatible with hearing aids when set to the ‘T’ position. To alleviate anxiety or enhance relaxation, there are 12 channels of Wellbeing TV and 31 channels of Happiness and Wellbeing podcasts and playlists, including meditations and soothing sounds.

Onboard Emirates latest aircraft, the Airbus A350-900, a new user interface on ice has been designed in partnership with Thales and advocacy groups for customers with visual impairment, to ensure all customers have an intuitive, high quality inflight entertainment experience. This imparts best practice experiences for customers who are blind or with low vision, including audio-cue navigation assistance, voice metadata feedback, touch and swipe gesturing support and presents the large selection of audio-descriptive (AD) content available on ice.

Improved Barrier Free Access and Biometrics in Dubai

In Emirates’ hub of Terminal 3, Dubai International (DXB), a smart corridor has been equipped with a barrier-free design and biometrics that allow for smooth, independent movement for passengers with disabilities. The area now features flexible camera coverage, meaning that the cameras can self-adjust to heights and angles without restricting or dictating person’s movement if they are in a wheelchair or have mobility issues.

The Emirates self-service check in kiosks have also been improved, with text to speech functionality, improved touchscreen usability, braille and tactile features, headphone jack for mobility and sight challenges, and the ability to self-adjust to accommodate the customers’ height.

Emirates Accessible Chauffeur Drive Service

Emirates also has a newly improved Emirates-branded wheelchair accessible vehicle which is now the prototype for a planned fleet of 10 vehicles, to be introduced by early 2026. The Chauffeur Drive vehicle is a Mercedes V250 Van featuring an electric wheelchair lift and ramp. The lift is a powered device which is designed to extend and lower onto ground level to safely raise the customer with their wheelchair into the vehicle in a seamless manner. Once inside, the additional safety restraints secure the customer who may have severe mobility disabilities. Emirates’ chauffeur drivers are currently being trained in mobility assistance and to support customers with disabilities. Currently, the wheelchair accessible vehicle is used for First and Business Class customers availing of chauffeur drive services based in Dubai, with plans to extend its availability in the future.

Research & Innovation - Initiatives for Accessible Travel

At Emirates,’ teams of innovation experts are dedicated to developing solutions for issues including Accessibility. The team has already produced several prototypes designed to benefit Emirates’ customers with accessibility requirements. One of the innovations that Emirates is exploring is a collaboration with Airbus, to make the cabin more accessible. Through the usage of a unique technology provider, the concept will facilitate independent travel for passengers who are blind or have low vision, using discreetly placed QR codes that can link to the customers’ phone and provide an audio description of the cabin and haptics to locate essential functions like seat rows, lavatories, emergency exits and even digital menus.

Emirates’ focus on Accessible Travel

Championing Change

Emirates is championing change in the aviation industry, with the goal of making travel more accessible and inclusive for everyone. As part of efforts to champion change, Emirates established a dedicated Office of Accessibility and Inclusion and became the World’s First Autism Certified Airline in March 2025. Emirates has trained more than 35,000 staff to support customers with autism and has introduced the ‘Travel Rehearsal’ initiative across 17 countries so far, allowing customers to practice the nuances of the airport experience before travelling.

                

Designing for Dignity

Emirates is engaged in designing new policies, processes and products with a focus on dignity of customers with accessibility requirements. Empowering all customers to fly with confidence, Emirates introduced a new Accessibility policy and commitment in recent years and implemented new processes in Call Centres to support customer requirements, launched the Accessible & Inclusive Travel Hub on Emirates.com to support the customer experience, and introduced many new products to support Accessible Travel in collaboration with direct feedback from communities and groups with accessible travel needs.

Advancing Accessibility 

Emirates continues to drive the accessible travel agenda forward in an evolving space, doing what is right and responsible, step by step and prioritising innovation. Emirates also works with an array of partners internationally to advance the accessible travel agenda – from legislators, to operators, to specific groups and communities, and global customers. Emirates also aims to advance accessibility by standardising global processes and creating consistency - online, in call centres, in airports and inflight.

5 Reasons Why the Galaxy Tab S11 is the Perfect Everyday Companion

In a world where we move between work, play, and creativity in a single day, the device we carry needs to keep up. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S11 isn’t just another tablet — it’s a powerful, stylish all-in-one companion designed to help you do more, wherever you are.

From its refined design to its AI-powered features, here’s why the Galaxy Tab S11 is the ultimate everyday partner.

A Screen That Inspires Creativity

The first thing you notice is the stunning 11-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display.

It’s more than just bright — with 1,600 nits peak brightness, deep blacks, and a silky 120Hz refresh rate, everything from editing photos to streaming your favourite series looks and feels extraordinary.

This display isn’t just for viewing; it’s your personal creative canvas, whether you’re sketching, designing, or brainstorming.

Portable Elegance with Real Durability

The slim Armor Aluminum frame delivers a premium feel while being surprisingly light — ideal for slipping into your work bag or travel backpack.

And with IP68 water and dust resistance, it’s as ready for the morning commute as it is for a weekend getaway.

The Tab S11 combines style, durability, and convenience, making it a companion that looks as good as it performs.

All-Day Power, All-Out Performance

Powered by the next-gen MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor, the Tab S11 runs everything — from video calls to multitasking between design apps — with snappy efficiency and smooth responsiveness.

The 8,400 mAh battery easily lasts through a day’s worth of classes, meetings, or creative sessions, while 45W fast charging gets you back to full power in no time.

It’s a tablet that keeps up with your ambition.

Smart Tools for Work & Play

The redesigned S Pen feels natural in your hand with its hexagonal grip and precise cone-shaped tip, making note-taking, annotating, or sketching effortless.

With AI-powered features in One UI 8, like Writing Assist for refining notes and Drawing Assist for turning rough sketches into polished visuals, the Tab S11 doubles as both your personal productivity hub and your creative studio.

Pair it with the Book Cover Keyboard Slim, and it transforms into a compact laptop alternative — complete with a dedicated Galaxy AI key for quick, intelligent commands.

Perfectly Balanced for Every Lifestyle

Unlike bulky pro-grade devices or basic entry-level tablets, the Tab S11 hits the sweet spot — a device that’s equally ready for Zoom meetings, quick photo edits, e-learning, or simply catching up on your favourite shows.

Its 13MP rear camera and 12MP ultra-wide 4K front camera make video calls crystal clear and keep content creation sharp on the go.

Wherever you are — office, classroom, or café — the Tab S11 adapts to you.

The Verdict: Power, Style & Versatility in One

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 is more than just a gadget. It’s your everyday companion — a sleek device that empowers you to work smarter, create more, and stay connected, all while fitting effortlessly into your lifestyle.

For students, professionals, and creators alike, the Tab S11 proves that you don’t have to compromise between performance and portability.

On another topic of what phones can or cannot do. We’re always talking about AI this, AI that in our lives. How truly integrated is AI on your phone? One might wonder. Well, not as intergrated as Gemini Live with Samsung applications.

Words are the power of an efficient person and with a simple request, ask Gemini to search for information and save it to your Notes application, or get an estimation of what time to leave your house and plan the best route for an event, or even ask it for fashion advice as you embark on your modelling journey. Is your phone as integrated with AI as this?

The State of Sleep in Southeast Asia & Oceania

 Across Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO), sleep is emerging as a critical—yet often overlooked—pillar of health and well-being frequently sacrificed in favor of the demands of modern lifestyles today. 

Casting a lens on this reality, the Samsung SEAO Ecosystem Health Study  sought to analyse the general lifestyle and sentiments towards health and fitness, as well as general wellness habits—including sleep, fitness, and lifestyle choices. While adults in Southeast Asia and Oceania rank health as their third highest daily priority, trailing finances and family according to the study, many still struggle to achieve the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep .  An average person in SEAO sleeps for just 6 hours and 51 minutes every night and stand to miss out on benefits that they rank as important reasons to getting sufficient shut-eye – such as improved immunity (21%), maintaining good health (17%), and staying mentally agile (16%) .

Want to sleep better and feel these benefits? Here are three practical steps to address common sleep concerns using Galaxy devices like the Galaxy Watch8 series and Galaxy Ring.

Step 1: Establish a consistent bedtime routine 

 

Galaxy Watch8, built to suit diverse lifestyles with advanced capabilities—setting a new standard for style and personalized health experiences.

Establishing a consistent bedtime routine is the primary concern for consumers in Southeast Asia and Oceania (28%) citing an “inability to switch off” as a further obstacle to a good night’s rest .

We all know that going device-free is easier said than done, with many relying on smartphones as their alarm. Enter the Galaxy Watch8 series and Galaxy Ring, super comfortable sleep companions that even allow you to dismiss alarms by just pinching your fingers!

Beyond putting aside one’s smartphone for the evening, winding down also includes setting up a peaceful environment that is conducive for sleep. Custom routines on the SmartThings app cue your connected devices automatically, turning off your lights and TV at bedtime for instance. 

 

(Left) A sleep environment summary card displayed in Galaxy Now Briefing, 

(Right) a detailed sleep environment report

Personalising your sleeping conditions doesn’t stop there. Sleep environment reports  from Samsung Health app provide detailed insights into key factors — such as temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide and illuminance — through connected devices and sensors. When connected to your Galaxy devices, other appliances like Samsung air conditioners come together to ensure you have a pleasant sleep through adjusting the temperature with “Good Sleep” mode  that finds the optimal temperature at each sleep stage  for a top-notch sleeping environment that adjusts to your every need. 

 

Bedtime Guidance provides personalized recommendations based on the user’s sleep data from the past three days.

Adding another layer of support, Galaxy Watch8’s Bedtime Guidance  analyses sleep patterns and recommends, then suggests an optimal bedtime based on your sleep pressure and circadian rhythm, so you can reset your sleep schedule and wake up refreshed. Galaxy Ring complements this with a powerful sleep AI algorithm and detailed sleep tracking to monitor movement during sleep, sleep latency, heart and respiratory rate, and snoring—making it easy to build better sleep habits over time.

Step 2: Maintain your energy throughout the day 

 

Energy Score on the Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy S25 Ultra 

The next most concerning aspect of sleep in SEAO is whether one can maintain one’s energy levels throughout the day (18%) . We are all familiar with the feeling of having apparently slept well the night before yet but still experiencing fatigue during the day, with the duration of sleep not translating into the desired energy levels across work, study or play. When you pick up your smartphone in the morning or simply check your Galaxy Watch throughout the day, a glimpse of your Energy Score  tells you all you need to know. 

 

Energy Score, an indicator of your condition based on 7 key sleep and activity metrics.

View the video here

Energy Score provides a daily measurement of your physical and mental energy and readiness, based on sleep, activity, and heart rate data, to help you find a healthy balance in the day ahead. Measuring from 0 to 100, a low score guides you to take things easy, while a high score gives you the confidence to push your limits.  

Step 3: Sustain long-term benefits of sleep 

After proactively harnessing the short-term benefits of a good night’s sleep, such as better energy throughout the day, the next biggest concern is one’s long-term health and how it might be affected by a lack of sleep (13%) . 

That’s why the Galaxy Watch8 series goes beyond sleep tracking with features like the Antioxidant Index , a first-of-its-kind smartwatch capability that measures your carotenoid level in just five seconds. This helps you understand how your lifestyle and sleep habits contribute to healthy aging, giving you another layer of insight to build a long-term wellness routine.

As you take the steps to make adjustments to your sleep, Galaxy’s Sleep Coaching Program tracks your progress, analyzes your accumulated sleep pattern data and provides you insights like a dedicated personal trainer with suggestions for better sleep such as meditating before bed, for example.

 

To get clued into how to sustain the long-term benefits of your sleep, Galaxy Ring is your go-to wearable that sits comfortably on your finger whilst tracking overall sleep including sleep stages, sleep patterns, movement during sleep, overnight skin temperature, Heart Rate (HR) and Heart Rate Variance (HRV) and providing Sleep Coaching program to improve your sleep habits, when you wake up . First time users get to test their ideal ring size with the Galaxy Ring sizing kit before confirming their purchase . 

Whether you’re a student, parent, or working professional, the need for restorative rest is both universal and profoundly personal. Try out these three steps today and make the change to your everyday sleep for better productivity, energy and overall well-being!

Online shopping is now more convenient too, as Samsung Pay is accepted on supported websites and apps, expanded further through Fiuu, the first local payment processor to bring Samsung Pay to e-commerce in Malaysia. Beyond payments, Samsung Wallet also helps users keep their loyalty and membership cards organized in one place, and even digitize compatible NFC access cards for entry into homes, offices, or gyms — all protected by Samsung Knox security.
