Emirates will soon offer its full four-class A380 cabin, including Premium Economy, on all its direct flights between Dubai and New York JFK, starting December 1.
More cabin options
The airline confirmed that its EK201/202 service will feature the reconfigured A380 with First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy, and Economy cabins. Emirates’ other daily route to New York via Milan, operating as EK205/206, will begin offering Premium Economy from November 10.
Travellers flying between Dubai and Milan will now have access to Premium Economy on both of Emirates’ daily services on that route, including flights EK091/092.
Premium Economy rollout
These additions support Emirates’ ongoing rollout of Premium Economy across its long-haul network. Flights EK203/204 between Dubai and New York JFK already offer the upgraded service.
With this expansion, the airline aims to provide more seating options for passengers traveling for both business and leisure. Emirates plans to offer Premium Economy on 68 destinations across its A380, Boeing 777, and A350 fleet by March 2026.
Onboard features
On its four-class A380, Premium Economy is located at the front of the main deck, with 56 seats in a 2-4-2 layout. Each seat offers extra space, in-seat charging points, a side cocktail table, and enhanced in-flight dining.
Passengers are served a curated menu and premium beverages, including Chandon Vintage Brut 2016, which is exclusive to Emirates’ Premium Economy.
Premium Economy seats on the upgraded flights are available now through emirates.com, the Emirates App, travel agents, and Emirates retail outlets.
