On Wednesday (September 19, 2024), Emirates announced that they will deploy their newly updated Boeing 777s featuring Premium Economy to six U.S. cities, including Chicago (ORD), Boston (BOS), Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), and Seattle (SEA), as well as on linked Miami/Bogotá and Newark/Athens routes.  In total, 10 of Emirates 12 U.S. gateways will feature Premium Economy by February 2025.  The newly refreshed 777s also feature a new Business Class product in a 1-2-1 configuration.


In Wednesday’s announcement, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, Adnan Kazim, said,


“With the success and popularity of Premium Economy on routes like New York JFK, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Houston served by our refurbished A380, we look forward to bringing a new level of comfort and privacy to more cities with refreshed cabins on our Boeing 777s.  The introduction of our refreshed product and ensuring consistent experiences in the sky on more routes is part of our long-standing commitment to the US and adding more premium options in a span of just a few months ensures we offer a competitive, value for money proposition for our customers.”
