Emirates

Emirates is based in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. It’s a very popular airline for long haul flights, connecting you from one end of the globe to the other. They allow more carry-on items for first/business class than for economy, so be sure you understand their cabin luggage allowances before you leave for the airport.
