Offering business perks without the price tag… 

To cater to a growing number of travellers looking for a premium travel experience without the price tag of a business class flight, Emirates unveiled its regional-first Premium Economy class in 2022.

The Premium Economy experience

A luxurious elevation from economy class, the wood panelling and cream leather create the same sophisticated aesthetic you’ll find when booking Emirates business class. Seats come with six-way adjustable headrests that you can configure for maximum relaxation, generous pitches of up to 40 inches to spread out in comfort, and a 13.3-inch screen for premium viewing the 5,000 channels on Emirates ICE. There’s also soft blankets and plump pillows for relaxing and getting some shut-eye in the sky, and refresh themselves with complimentary amenity kits.

The dining experience in Emirates Premium Economy also incorporates elements of the Business Class culinary offering, with welcome drinks served in glassware, premium meal service and a drinks menu that includes premium wines and a sparkling Chandon wine.
