As Emirates begins offering its Premium Economy cabin at 31 of its 41 destinations in Europe, it is also increasing travel options to popular vacation destinations around the world via Dubai during the winter season. The airline is adding extra flights to destinations such as Cape Town, Phuket, Hanoi, and Manila, while also providing connections to 216 additional destinations beyond its own flight network through its partners.
Emirates, one of the world’s largest international airlines, is offering more options to passengers traveling from Europe this winter. The airline, which is introducing its Premium Economy cabin at 31 of its 41 destinations in Europe and the United Kingdom, is also strengthening its connections to the world’s most popular winter vacation destinations via Dubai.
As part of this year’s winter schedule, Emirates will operate an average of 78 flights daily between Dubai and Europe. The airline will also provide passengers with greater flexibility when planning their trips by adding a total of 31 weekly flights to popular destinations such as Cape Town, Nairobi, Phuket, Hanoi, Manila, Tokyo Narita, and Accra. Passengers traveling from Europe will also be able to turn their layovers in Dubai into short getaways. Known for its warm and sunny weather during the winter months, Dubai offers visitors a wide range of options, including beaches, desert adventures, a rich culinary scene, shopping opportunities, and hotels catering to a variety of budgets.
Emirates’ A380 aircraft will also serve 21 destinations in Europe this winter. This will allow passengers to enjoy more comfortable and seamless connections to 21 different destinations served by the A380, such as Bangkok, Sydney, and Tokyo. The Helsinki route, the latest addition to Emirates’ European flight network, has been designed to provide connections to East and Southeast Asia, West Asia, the Indian Ocean, Africa, and the Australia and New Zealand regions. This will make it easier for passengers traveling from Finland to reach warm-weather destinations and popular vacation spots for their winter vacations.
Emirates’ codeshare and interline agreements also offer passengers traveling from Europe access to 216 additional destinations in the Far East, Africa, and the Indian Ocean regions—beyond the airline’s own flight network.
Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, said the following on the matter: “The winter months are one of the busiest travel periods for our passengers in Europe. We aim to provide our passengers with greater flexibility and comfort by diversifying their travel options during this time. For passengers looking to explore new places, enjoy a sunny vacation, or spend time with loved ones, Dubai offers a wide variety of experiences. At the same time, by expanding our flight network to the east and introducing our highly popular Premium Economy cabin on more flights, we’re also making it easier to reach popular winter destinations beyond Dubai.”
As of October 25, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport has joined the list of European destinations where Emirates offers its Premium Economy cabin. This brings the total number of destinations in Europe and the United Kingdom where this service is available to 31 out of 41. Emirates’ Premium Economy cabin offers a more comfortable alternative for passengers traveling to Dubai and throughout the airline’s global network, featuring wider seats, increased legroom, a premium meal service, and exclusive perks that enhance the travel experience. The Premium Economy experience is further enhanced on the airline’s new Airbus A350 aircraft. These aircraft feature a full-length privacy panel that can be opened and closed with the push of a single button at each seat, as well as an electric leg rest, a U-Dream headrest that wraps around the head, and wireless charging capabilities.
