Book Emirates premium economy tickets: how much do the flights cost?

You can now book to fly in the brand new Emirates premium economy class on flights to Paris, London, Sydney and Christchurch.

And, according to our research, these premium economy flights will cost you about double the amount of a normal economy ticket, and around half the price of a business class fare.

Emirates premium economy tickets on A380 flights from Dubai to Paris Charles de Gaulle, Dubai to London Heathrow and Dubai to Sydney will start from August 1.

Premium economy tickets on A380 flights between between Dubai and Christchurch will go live from December 1.

Your experience will start with dedicated check in at a premium economy counter at Dubai International Airport, and you get priority seating too.

No access to the lovely Emirates lounges at Terminal 3, DXB, is included with a premium economy ticket, however.

On board, passengers flying in Emirates premium economy will enjoy reclining seats spanning 50cm, in a sophisticated cream colour with adjustable headrests, extended leg room and 40-inch screens. Fancy.

You’ll get a welcome drink once you board and a better choice of food than in economy, with multi-course meals served on china tableware and stainless-steel cutlery, so you can almost pretend you are in business class.

Extra add-ons include bigger pillows, sustainable soft blankets made from recycled plastic bottles, reusable amenity kits on longer flights, and priority disembarkation.

The premium economy cabin is currently only fitted on six A380s, with plans to roll it out across 120 planes from November this year.
