Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, has announced the introduction of its latest product, Premium Economy, on flights EK434/435 between Dubai and Brisbane.

Tickets for this new Premium Economy service can be booked on Emirates, the Emirates App, or through both online and offline travel agents. With the addition of Brisbane, Emirates’ Australian network now includes Sydney and Melbourne, which are also served by retrofitted aircraft equipped with the airline’s award-winning Premium Economy product.

Expanding Premium Economy Availability

By 1 April 2025, Emirates will be serving Australia with close to 4,000 Premium Economy seats via two daily services from Sydney and Melbourne. Additionally, a third Melbourne service will launch on 30 March 2025 with a retrofitted Boeing 777 on flights EK404/405, alongside the Brisbane service.

Australian travellers can also experience Emirates’ highly popular Premium Economy product on flights to popular destinations across the airline’s global network via Dubai, including London, Vienna, and Riyadh.

A Long-Standing Relationship with Brisbane

Emirates has been serving Brisbane for over 22 years and currently operates double daily flights between Dubai and Brisbane. With 77 weekly services connecting Australia’s five largest cities – Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide – to over 140 destinations via Dubai, Emirates continues to provide Australian travellers with seamless global connectivity, including popular European routes.
