777 Business Class with seats in a 1-2-1 arrangement, more privacy, fully
reclined flat bed in addition to a personal mini-bar amongst other amenities.
On
the introduction of Premium Economy to additional US routes, Adnan Kazim,
Deputy President, and Chief Commercial Officer at Emirates said: “With the
success and popularity of Premium Economy on routes like New York JFK, Los
Angeles, San Francisco and Houston served by our refurbished A380, we look
forward to bringing a new level of comfort and privacy to more cities with
refreshed cabins on our Boeing 777s. The introduction of our refreshed product
and ensuring consistent experiences in the sky on more routes is part of our
long-standing commitment to the US and adding more premium options in a span of
just a few months ensures we offer a competitive, value for money proposition
for our customers.”
The
roll out of Emirates’ refreshed aircraft featuring a four-class configuration
will bring the number of routes offering the distinctive Premium Economy
product to 27 cities globally including Dubai by the end of 2024, utilising 48
Boeing 777, A380 and A350 aircraft. Besides the US and Latin American points
where the retrofitted aircraft will be deployed, customers are already enjoying
choice and comfort with refurbished Boeing 777s flying to Geneva, Tokyo Haneda
and Brussels, and Zurich along with Riyadh are scheduled from next month.
The
continued roll out of Premium Economy across Emirates’ network allows its US
customers to enjoy the luxury, comforts and affordability of Premium Economy to
final destinations beyond Dubai including Mumbai, Bangalore and Singapore, to
name a few.
Furthermore,
Emirates’ customers travelling to United’s hubs in Chicago, Houston and San
Francisco, can fly in Premium Economy before connecting to its services to
hundreds of US domestic points and cities in Canada and Latin America.
Seats
on flights can be booked on emirates.com, the
Emirates App, or via both online and offline travel agents.
The
four-class Boeing 777 features six or eight First Class suites, 38 or 40
Business class seats in a 1-2-1 arrangement, 24 seats in Premium Economy, and
256 Economy class seats.
In
addition to the introduction of Premium Economy on the retrofitted aircraft,
customers across all cabins can enjoy the refreshed interiors which sport a
blend of beautiful designs and new colour palettes, in the carpeting, wall
panels, and wood finishings, to name a few of the aesthetic enhancements.
