Emirates is bringing one of business travelers' favorite features to its premium economy cabins
Until now, premium economy passengers have typically had little to separate them from their neighbors. Emirates wants to change that.
Emirates has introduced a new premium economy seat with a full-height privacy screen, electric controls, wireless charging, and a 4K screen. The privacy screen, previously rare in premium economy cabins, is now standard in Emirates' new design. The seat also features an U-Dream headrest for neck support and an integrated phone holder on the tray table.
While electric controls may increase maintenance costs, Emirates' new seat aims to enhance the passenger experience by offering more privacy and comfort at a higher price point. The new seats will debut on newly delivered Airbus A350 airplanes, with a 2-3-2 configuration, 20-inch wide seats, and a 39-inch pitch.
