Emirates has announced that all its A380 flights to New York’s JFK airport will feature four cabin classes, including Premium Economy. The airline stated that direct daily flights EK201/202 between Dubai and New York JFK will offer the Premium Economy option starting December 1, 2025.

Additionally, Emirates’ daily service via Milan (EK205/206) will include Premium Economy from November 10, 2025. This change means travelers between Dubai and Milan can choose Premium Economy on two daily flights, including EK091/092. These updates add to the existing EK203/204 service, which already offers Premium Economy for customers flying between Dubai and New York.

According to Emirates, tickets for Premium Economy are now available through its website, app, travel agents, and retail stores.

The reconfigured A380 aircraft operating as EK201/202 and EK205/206 will provide First Class, Business Class, Premium Economy, and Economy Class seats. This move gives passengers more options whether they are traveling for business or leisure.

Emirates is expanding its network of destinations offering Premium Economy across its fleet of A380s, B777s, and A350s. By March 2026, this service will be available at 68 global destinations.

The latest cabin features on the four-class A380 are also present on routes to cities such as Sydney, Singapore, Osaka, Mumbai, and Bangalore.

Onboard the four-class Emirates A380 aircrafts, the Premium Economy section is located at the front of the main deck with 56 seats in a 2-4-2 layout. Each seat includes features like in-seat charging points and a side cocktail table. Passengers also receive selected amenities and access to a curated menu with beverage choices such as Chandon Vintage Brut 2016.

"Tickets in Premium Economy can be booked immediately on emirates.com, the Emirates App, or via both online and offline travel agents as well as at Emirates retail stores."
