Emirates rolled out its Premium Economy in August 2022, and per their website serve the below destinations.

Does anybody know what other cities will be added and when??

The new Premium Economy cabin features on our new A380 now flying between Dubai and the following destinations:
Auckland (AKL), Bengaluru (BLR), Christchurch (CHC), Houston (IAH), London Heathrow (LHR), Los Angeles (LAX), Melbourne (MEL), Mumbai (BOM), New York John F Kennedy (JFK), San Francisco (SFO), São Paulo (GRU), Singapore (SIN), Sydney (SYD), Tokyo Narita (NRT)

I believe Osaka will start June 1.

What is interesting is that EK7/EK8 from LHR which had Premium had it removed again as they changed aircraft on it and not back on until 10 June 2024 when 4 of the 6 A380 operated DXB flights will have Premium (the 777 operated flight does not have Premium – not sure when the 777’s will start to get Premium).

If anyone knows current state of fleet (how many A380’s have W). I thought 777 upgrades were due to start upgrades this Summer.

Would be good to see LGW get Premium followed by Manchester. Mauritius as a Premium Leisure route would also be a good shout.

Tim, as of 15 March it looks like 25 out of 114 in the fleet -28 others are long term parked and 11 undergoing ‘maintenance’
