I’ve flown their premium economy long-haul, and it honestly feels close to business class lite, wide seats, 40-inch pitch, solid recline. Seeing this comfort level on short-hauls is kind of wild. Starting in October, you can even get it on the A380 to Amman and the A350 to Muscat!
This seems like a smart move by Emirates to give regional travelers a taste of luxury without splurging on business class. I’m eyeing that Muscat route for a quick getaway. Anyone here flown premium economy on shorter flights? Worth it for 1–3 hours in the air, or does it only make sense long-haul?
