Emirates New Premium Economy and Upgraded Cabin on A380

Emirates recently revealed their new Premium Economy seat onboard a new A380. I was invited to take a first look at the new Premium Economy cabin.

I interviewed the Chief Operating Officer of Emirates, Adel Al Redha, during my tour of the aircraft. I asked him why Emirates is launching such new product and whether more airplanes in the fleet will feature such a product.

Currently, Emirates is not selling Premium Economy seats until they have more airplanes equipped with the new product. For the time being they are giving complimentary upgrades for frequent flyers and full fare paying Economy passengers. More details of the soft product in Premium Economy will be revealed in the future.

Not only Premium Economy, the rest of the Emirates A380 cabin has also been upgraded. You can see the new fabric and finishing’s of Business Class and Economy Class.

I am so glad that Premium Economy are improving a lot nowadays, it's like it's so fit for people like me that isn't willing to spend on a business class yet not satisfied with the normal economy seat, this just fits right in

I've been flying only with Premium Economy seats since 2010, and it's really a bang for the buck without killing your travelling budget

Love the wood panels and light colored seats. Definitely a nice change in atmosphere, very luxurious and calming.

It's so sad how everyone is already retiring the 380s. I really hope Emirates keep flying them for many years - such a beautiful plane! I'm always in awe of its size when boarding one

Other airlines : *retire the A380*
Emirates : and I took that personally

I guess when one reclines, everyone else reclines like dominoes

I thank you, Sam, for venturing the world for us when we can’t

I absolutely love A380s! Really glad to see Emirates revamp the A380 rather than retire them. That's why they lead the aviation industry in A380 usage.

I have always flown A380 with Emirates and hope to continue doing so in the future. Well done Emirates 👍!!

Very nice!! Glad to see an airline bringing back what flying once was: a nice luxurious way to travel in comfort. Hope to see other airlines up their game too.

While other airlines sell off their fleet, Emirates is upgrading theirs to entice us back.

Airlines: We have a new feature....
Sam: Is for me?

A wonderful PE product. It’s always interesting to see the reality when the cabin is full of passengers with reclined seats vs an empty cabin which always looks so spacious

I only ever fly Emirates from Perth to Dublin as I find the staff just awesome to deal with.

This truly shows the luxury that the A380 has to offer

Sam, your video editing and sound support selection and overall integration have all really moved to the next level. Well done and thanks for your helpful posting.

I truly love flying Emirates on the A380, to Dubai, I always wish the flight was longer, as I find it totally relaxing 😊

[Steve-shlj]

Flying on the a380 is amazing, doing it six times I can say it's my favorite aircraft.

[RealWorldCarReviews]

That’s absolutely excellent. The customer who can’t afford business class is now able to fly in a luxurious yet affordable environment. The seats look like they’re out of a high end car such as the Lexus LS. What a great idea!

Sam, my granddaughter and I haven't seen each other in a year due to covid. So we chat on zoom and watch your videos together now. We love your enthusiasm for plane travel, not from nostalgia for the world that we left behind but for a better, healthier one. Thank you.

The cream-colored and turquoise interior makes a big difference from other airlines that use dark colors. Emirates seems so bright and relaxing.
