Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, has announced the introduction of its latest product, Premium Economy, on flights EK434/435 between Dubai and Brisbane.

Expanding Premium Economy Availability
By 1 April 2025, Emirates will be serving Australia with close to 4,000 Premium Economy seats via two daily services from Sydney and Melbourne. Additionally, a third Melbourne service will launch on 30 March 2025 with a retrofitted Boeing 777 on flights EK404/405, alongside the Brisbane service.
Australian travellers can also experience Emirates’ highly popular Premium Economy product on flights to popular destinations across the airline’s global network via Dubai, including London, Vienna, and Riyadh.
