Another
Middle East Gulf airline is raising the standard of luxury.
Emirates Airline is
set to offer premium economy service on six more routes in the United
States.
The flights will be to Chicago, Boston, Dallas/Fort Worth,
Seattle, Newark and Miami. They will be rolled out between November and
February. The equipment is the Boeing 777-300ER. Emirates has a history
of working with Boeing. Gulf airlines also have a tradition steeped in
luxury, starting with the incredible ‘The Apartment’ on Etihad.
That model of airplane will also be used on flight to Athens and
Bogota, Colombia, |

“With
the success and popularity of Premium Economy on routes like New York JFK, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, and Houston, we look forward to bringing a new level of
comfort and privacy to more cities with refreshed cabins on our Boeing 777,”
said the airline’s Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, Adnan Kazim.
The
refurbished Boeing planes feature a 19.5-inch width, up to 8-inch recline, and
a 38-inch seat pitch. These are some of the largest seats in the industry.
“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 U.S.,”
said Kazim.
Passengers
can expect such amenities as Chandon Vintage Brut champagne and Royal Doulton
tableware.
By
the end of 2024, Emirates will have rolled out its premium economy cabin to 27
cities, including Dubai, Tokyo Haneda and Geneva.
The
cabin also features a small bar area where passengers can socialize.
The
first of the refurbished Boeing 777s was put into service earlier this year.
