Flyers can look forward to another distinctive Emirates travel experience as the airline unveils its full Premium Economy offering onboard and ground, announcing that it will open a highly sought-after cabin for sale from June 1.

The new cabin class, which offers luxurious seats, more legroom, and service to rival many airlines’ business offerings, will be available to Emirates customers travelling on popular A380 routes to London, Paris, Sydney from August 1, and Christchurch from December.

Emirates is the only airline to offer a Premium Economy cabin.

“We currently have six A380s equipped with this cabin class, which limits our initial deployment, but we intend to offer this experience to many more markets across our network," said Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airlines.

This November, we will begin our retrofit programme to install Premium Economy on 67 A380s and 53 Boeing 777s. At the end of the programme, Emirates will have 126 aircraft fitted out with Premium Economy cabins and our latest interiors across other cabins. It is a major investment to ensure our customers continue to have the best experience in the sky.”

On a four-class Emirates A380, the Premium Economy cabin is located at the front of the main deck with 56 seats in a 2-4-2 configuration.

On the Emirates Boeing 777, up to 24 Premium Economy seats will be installed in a dedicated cabin section between Business and Economy.

In Việt Nam, since the reopening of tourism to foreign tourists in March 2022, Emirates has increased the weekly frequency to eight round-trip flights on both routes from HCM City and Ha Noi to Dubai and beyond. — VNS
