Legroom in the Etihad Economy is usually around 31-33 inches. \u201cEconomy Space\u201d seats add extra room for a fee on certain aircraft. Cabin service, meal quality, and amenities tend to be consistent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emirates economy on newer A380s and refurbed 777s offers about 32-34 inch seat pitch, USB\/power outlets, upgraded entertainment. But as per some frequent flyers with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indian Eagle travel<\/a>, the layout in older 777s (3-4-3) can feel crowded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Etihad_Airways_Premium_Economy_vs_Emirates_Economy_Class\"><\/span><b>Etihad Airways Premium Economy vs Emirates Economy Class<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emirates is actively rolling out Premium Economy on the USA-India route.

Lounges, meal service, and amenities are generous. Premium cabin consistency is improving with fleet refurbishments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Etihad Airways business class is often favored for privacy. The &#8220;Business Studio&#8221; layout on many A350s and 787s gives more personal space.
