This 6am early morning departure has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it essentially makes for a more forgiving, from a circadian rhythms’ standpoint, day flight with a mid-afternoon arrival in Dubai, due to the time difference. However, it also requires a wickedly early start with the requirement to be at the airport at least three hours before departure.
Check-in via the economy class queue is smooth though there’s no dedicated channel for premium economy passengers, even though there seems to be provision for one in the area. Emirates lounge access is exclusively for business and first-class passengers, but there are a few cafes open in the terminal at this ungodly hour.Premium economy passengers are allowed a total of 35 kilograms of checked luggage and one piece of carry-on up to 10 kilograms.
There are 56 leather cream and milk-chocolate coloured premium economy seats in the cabin, with its trademark faux walnut timber trim. Premium economy is positioned at the front of the aircraft , across seven rows in a 2-4-2 configuration. The seats, with a pitch of 40 inches , a width of 19.5 inches and a recline of eight inches , are equipped with a padded foldout footrest along with adjustable headrests and accessible USB ports.
My aisle seat, 35D – chosen from the seat map on the Emirates website – offers additional legroom as it’s positioned next to the end of a bulkhead at the front of the cabin. The toilets, reached via a small set of stairs, are only a few steps away but not too close to be bothersome.Emirates’ comprehensive ICE entertainment system, delivered on a sizeable 13.3-inch HD TV screen, includes more than 2400 movies and 650 television shows.
