Emirates now offers Premium Economy on flights to 31 of its 41 European and UK destinations

Emirates now offers Premium Economy on flights to 31 of its 41 European and UK destinations, the Dubai-based airline said on 10 November 2026, after Paris Charles de Gaulle became the latest gateway to get the cabin on 25 October.

Emirates says it will operate an average of 78 flights a day between Dubai and Europe this winter, with the A380 serving 21 European destinations. It is also adding 31 weekly flights to winter sun destinations: Cape Town, Nairobi, Phuket, Hanoi, Manila, Tokyo Narita and Accra. The airline describes Helsinki as its newest European destination. Its newest Airbus A350s carry an upgraded Premium Economy cabin with a full-height privacy screen, electric leg rest and wireless charging, and its retrofit programme has brought new cabin interiors to 108 aircraft.

For travellers from Europe heading further east via Dubai, the airline says its A380 flights connect to 21 eastbound destinations, including Bangkok, Sydney and Tokyo, and that codeshare and interline partners add 216 destinations across the Far East, Africa and the Indian Ocean. Adnan Kazim, Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, said: "Winter is one of the busiest travel seasons for our customers in Europe, and we're giving them more ways to enjoy it."

The release does not list which 31 European routes have Premium Economy, and gives no per-route frequencies or start dates for the extra winter sun flights or for Helsinki. Passengers should check which cabins are offered on their specific flight when booking.
