Emirates is doubling down on its Melbourne commitment, adding a second daily Premium Economy service from the city to its Dubai hub starting February 1, 2024. This follows the hugely successful launch of Premium Economy in Melbourne last April, a testament to the cabin’s popularity among Australian travelers.
With this expansion, Emirates offers nearly 800 weekly Premium Economy seats between Melbourne and Dubai, making it one of the airline’s key markets for this luxurious cabin. This translates to more choices and better connectivity for Aussie travelers seeking a comfortable and convenient upgrade from Economy.
Premium Comfort at its Finest
Emirates’ Premium Economy cabin is a game-changer. Picture plush cream leather seats, generous legroom with a 6-way adjustable headrest and footrest, a spacious 13.3-inch entertainment screen, and a walnut wood-finished side table. It’s like stepping into a private jet, with a dedicated crew catering to your every need.
The experience extends beyond the seat. Passengers are treated to a welcome drink in fine glassware, a selection of seasonal meals served on Royal Doulton china, and an extended beverage list featuring vintage wines from Business Class. It’s a culinary journey that complements the luxurious surroundings.
Flying Premium Economy also means priority boarding and exiting the aircraft. You’ll be among the first to disembark, saving precious time and hassle. And on the A380, you’ll have access to dedicated bathrooms, ensuring even greater convenience.
Emirates’ Australian Commitment
This additional service is just one piece of Emirates’ ongoing commitment to Australia. Since last year, they’ve added a third daily service from Melbourne with a Singapore stopover, restored a daily connection from Christchurch to Dubai, introduced a third daily service to Sydney, upgraded a Sydney service to an A380, added a second daily flight to Brisbane, and announced a planned return to Adelaide in 2024. In total, Emirates operates 63 weekly services to Australia, offering unparalleled connectivity and capacity.
Emirates’ Premium Economy has clearly struck a chord with Australians. Since its launch, over 90,000 passengers have chosen this cabin, exceeding expectations and showcasing its appeal. With its combination of comfort, convenience, and culinary delights, it’s no wonder Premium Economy is taking the Australian skies by storm.
