Emirates introduces Premium Economy to Kuala Lumpur on newly retrofitted Boeing 777

 As part of its commitment to offering a consistent and enhanced travel experience for passengers travelling to and from Malaysia, Emirates has deployed its retrofitted Boeing 777 aircraft on flights EK346 and EK347. The refurbished aircraft features four newly configured and refreshed cabins, including its award-winning Premium Economy. 





Emirates’ flight EK346 departs Dubai at 3:10hrs and arrives in Kuala Lumpur at 14:25hrs. The return flight EK347 departs Kuala Lumpur at 19:10hrs and arrives in Dubai at 22:10hrs. All times are local. 

The airline’s Premium Economy cabin redefines comfort for travellers flying between Kuala Lumpur and Dubai, offering plush seating, generous legroom, and a superior dining experience. With the introduction of the newly retrofitted Boeing 777, this signature offering is now available across nearly 70 destinations within the Emirates network. 

For those seeking additional comfort and privacy during their journeys, the Premium Economy cabin offers a refined upgrade from Economy Class. From regional dishes served on Royal Doulton fine china, stainless steel cutlery wrapped in linen to a polished woodgrain dining table that folds into the seat. The unparalleled service also offers a selection of premium wines, and exclusive beverages that are available throughout the flight.

“Malaysia has been a key market for Emirates for nearly three decades. We are proud to introduce our latest generation and award-winning Premium Economy along with refreshed First, Business and Economy cabins to our travellers”, said Saeed Mubarak, Country Manager Emirates in Malaysia. “The new interiors bring more comfort and more choice, ensuring every passenger enjoys a seamless and consistent journey, no matter how they choose to fly. It’s a reflection of our continued investment and sets us apart in the industry by offering a redefined travel experience for millions of passengers worldwide.”

As part of its multi-billion dollar initiative to refurbish 219 aircraft, the airline has already completed upgrades on 67 aircraft. This extensive nose to tail refurbishment underscores Emirates’ commitment to delivering an elevated travel experience across its fleet. The airline is on track to offer nearly 2 million Premium Economy seats annually across its network by the end of 2025, doubling to 4 million by 2026.


Premium Economy passengers also enjoy a generous checked-in baggage allowance of 35kg and a further 10kg of carry-on baggage. Customers can book their Premium Economy experience now through emirates.com or the Emirates App.
