Emirates announces that by the end of this year, all of its Airbus A380 international flights to and from New York JFK Airport will feature the airline’s premium economy cabin.
At present, only one of the three daily services with EK203/EK204 offers premium economy. Starting November 10, the Dubai to New York flight with a stop in Milan will also include premium economy. Then, from December 1, Emirates’ other nonstop Dubai–JFK flight will also have the cabin. This means all three daily routes will soon give travelers four class options in economy, premium economy, business, and first class.
The update is also a win for Italian passengers. The Milan to New York fifth-freedom route can also be booked separately, providing greater flexibility for Italian passengers when they book fifth-freedom international flights on Emirates.
Emirates Premium Economy JFK
Emirates A380 has 56 economy class seats at the rear of the lower deck with 2-4-2 configuration. Passengers are treated to increased comfort with 40-inch pitch and 19.5-inch width, 8-inch recline, 13.3-inch personal screens with Emirates’ award-winning entertainment system and Universal charging amenities. The airline claims this roll-out is part of its wider strategy to have premium economy accessible to 68 worldwide destinations by 2026.
