Emirates is all set to offer its Premium Economy seats between Dubai and Brisbane three times a week, starting from 1 February 2025.
With the introduction of the Premium Economy on flights EK434/435, Brisbane will join Sydney and Melbourne in the Emirates’ Australian network to be served by retrofitted aircraft equipped with the airline’s award-winning product. The deployment further underscores Emirates’ commitment to providing Queenslanders the opportunity to experience its best-in-class products, including refreshed interiors and enhanced cabins across all classes.
By 1 April 2025, Emirates will be serving Australia with close to 4,000 Premium Economy seats, via two daily services from Sydney and two daily services from Melbourne, with a third Melbourne service launching on 30 March 2025 with a retrofitted Boeing 777 on flight EK404/405, in addition to the Brisbane service.
Australian travelers can also experience Emirates’ highly popular Premium Economy product on flights to popular destinations across the airline’s global network via Dubai, such as London, Vienna, and Riyadh.
Emirates’ Premium Economy experience
The four-class Emirates A380 features 14 First Class suites, 76 lie-flat seats in Business Class, 56 spacious Premium Economy seats, and 322 generously pitched Economy seats. The Premium Economy cabin is located at the front of the main deck with 56 seats laid out in a 2-4-2 configuration.
Onboard, Premium Economy customers can experience quiet luxury with cream-coloured leather and a wood panel finishing similar to Business Class.

The Premium Economy dining experience includes a welcome drink served in fine glassware, and a selection of meals made with seasonal ingredients, served on Royal Doulton china tableware with stainless-steel cutlery. Premium Economy customers are also offered an extended beverage list that includes vintage wines from Emirates’ Business Class list, including a sparkling Chardon and Chandon Vintage Brut 2016.
Customers also receive complimentary amenity kits made with sustainable and recycled materials, alongside sustainably made blankets and a generously sized pillow, both designed uniquely for Premium Economy.
