Briefly

Over one million fans attended the 2024 U.S. Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, and 2025 Fan Week set attendance records. Fans can access grandstand tickets, activations from American Express and Chase, pop-ups, and exclusive hospitality suites at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Emirates operates a 1,358-square-foot center-court suite that attracted celebrities and showcased premiere service. Inside the suite, guests enjoyed unlimited caviar served by an Emirates flight attendant, Moët Champagne with canapés, and the signature Honey Deuce cocktail.

America's favorite tennis event is officially back-and bigger than ever. In 2024, the U.S. Open hit a historic milestone, welcoming over one million fans to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens during the three-week tournament. And with the 2025 U.S. Open already breaking records for the highest-attended U.S. Open Fan Week, another thrilling year at the American Grand Slam is well underway.
Emirates, the official airline of the U.S. Open Grand Slam tournament, hosts a 1,358-square-foot suite that's become one of the most coveted spots to watch the matches. This center-court suite-where celebrities like Clairo, Angela Kinsey, Connie Briton, and Chelsea Handler were spotted on opening night-highlights the airline's premiere service and offers a taste of the amenities found in its upper-tier cabins.
Inside the suite, guests were treated to unlimited caviar served by an Emirates flight attendant-just like in their ultra-luxe first class-alongside Moet Champagne paired with canapés. And naturally, the iconic Honey Deuce cocktail, the U.S. Open's signature boozy lemonade topped with honeydew melon balls, was also flowing as fans enjoyed the matches.
