Besides this, the airline has also refurbished the interiors of its A380 aircraft such that passengers in all cabins can now enjoy the refreshed design featuring Emirates’ signature ghaf tree motif.
The enhancements throughout the aircraft, from the carpeting to the wall panels and wood finishings, provide a beautiful and modern aesthetic. Passengers flying on the Dubai-Mumbai route can reserve their Premium Economy seats on flights EK500/501, while those travelling between Dubai and Bengaluru can book seats on flights EK568/569.

This service is currently available on flights to nine destinations, including New York JFK, San Francisco, Houston, London Heathrow, Sydney, Auckland, Christchurch, Melbourne, and Singapore.
The airline will debut Premium Economy cabins on flights to Los Angeles in July, bringing the total number of routes offering this service to 12 by the end of 2023.
