The premium economy class in the new A380 aircraft includes 56 seats in a 2-4-2 cabin layout. The airline added that until more Premium Economy seats enter its inventory, it intends to offer these as spot upgrades for customers on a discretionary basis. All other signature Emirates A380 First, Business and Economy cabins are available for reservation on the airline’s website or via travel agents.

Premium economy seats offers 40-inches of leg space, with a seat that is 19.5 inches wide and reclines 8 inches. Each seat supports 6-way adjustable headrests, calf rests and footrests.
