By 1 April 2025, Emirates will be providing up to 4,000 Premium Economy seats to Australian travellers. This will be through the Brisbane service, two daily services from Sydney and two daily services from Melbourne, with a third one launching on 30 March with the retrofitted B777 on flights EK404/405.

Keep in mind, the Brisbane service will still be operating on the same schedule onboard the A380. With the Brisbane flight departing at 20:55 and arriving in Dubai the next morning at 5:30. The return flight leaves Dubai at 10:25 and arrives in Brisbane early the next morning at 6:30.

Australian travellers wanting to fly the highly popular Emirates Premium Economy product will be able to connect to European destinations such as London, Vienna or Athens.
