Emirates has revamped its Boeing 777 fleet, making Riyadh the first Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) city to receive this upgrade. As a result, the newly refurbished aircraft now offers an improved Business Class and Emirates’ anticipated Premium Economy seats. This marks a significant step forward for both business and leisure travelers alike.
Currently, this upgraded Boeing 777 operates daily on the EK 819/820 route between Dubai and Riyadh. The flight departs from Dubai at 07:10 AM, reaching Riyadh by 08:05 AM. Meanwhile, the return journey leaves Riyadh at 09:40 AM, arriving in Dubai at 12:35 PM. Therefore, this enhanced service gives travelers more comfort and better amenities on an already popular route.
The four-class layout of the aircraft meets the diverse needs of its passengers. Specifically, the Premium Economy cabin, featuring 24 seats in a 2-4-2 layout, includes adjustable headrests for extra comfort. This makes it ideal for both work and relaxation. Furthermore, the 38-seat Business Class cabin provides more privacy, thanks to its 1-2-1 configuration. Every seat also offers direct aisle access, along with a personal mini-bar and multiple charging ports.
For those seeking unmatched luxury, Emirates’ First Class boasts six exclusive game-changer suites. Additionally, in Economy Class, 256 ergonomic seats with adjustable leather headrests enhance comfort for long flights.
By the end of the year, Emirates plans to upgrade 48 aircraft with Premium Economy. These upgraded planes will, in fact, serve 27 destinations, including Dubai. As a result, the expansion will cover Emirates’ fleet of Boeing 777s, A380s, and A350s, giving more travelers access to these enhanced offerings.
Emirates operates 72 weekly flights to Saudi Arabia through four main gateways. Specifically, Riyadh benefits from three daily flights, operated by Boeing 777s and A380s. Moreover, travelers can book tickets on Emirates’ official website, app, or through authorized agents. Lastly, visit WentWorld.com and follow our social media for top travel tips and guides.
