Emirates will roll out its Premium Economy service on the Kolkata–Dubai route beginning July 18, 2025, making Kolkata the fourth Indian city—after Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad—to gain access to this upgraded cabin. Operating four times weekly on flights EK572/573, the service features 24 spacious leather seats with extra legroom, adjustable headrests, and enhanced recline, alongside regional gourmet meals served on fine china, a premium beverage selection, 13.3‑inch HD screens with Bluetooth connectivity, improved Wi‑Fi, and a generous baggage allowance. This move reflects Emirates’ broader strategy to meet growing demand for a comfortable yet affordable travel experience in India. Have any of you flown Premium Economy recently, and did the upgrade make a difference?
