Passengers traveling with Emirates will soon experience upgraded cabins on more routes as the airline introduces its retrofitted Boeing 777 to Seoul, South Korea, on April 14, 2025, and London Stansted, United Kingdom, on May 7, 2025. The expansion brings these cities into Emirates’ growing network of destinations featuring enhanced onboard experiences.
Seoul will be the second destination in East Asia to welcome the upgraded Boeing 777, following its introduction in Tokyo. Emirates will operate flights EK324 and EK325 three times weekly between Dubai and Seoul on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Passengers on these flights will have access to the enhanced Premium Economy cabin and the newly reconfigured Business Class.
By July 2025, Emirates plans to offer more than 3,150 Premium Economy seats each week on select Boeing 777 and A380 aircraft. These flights will serve six key cities in Southeast and East Asia, including Tokyo-Narita, Tokyo-Haneda, Osaka, Singapore, Seoul, and Shenzhen.
Meanwhile, London Stansted will become the third UK destination featuring Emirates’ latest cabin products, alongside London Heathrow and Edinburgh. Other European destinations where the upgraded Boeing 777 is already in service include Geneva, Brussels, Zurich, Vienna, and Athens.
Upgraded Cabin Features for a Better Travel Experience
The retrofitted Boeing 777 introduces a four-class configuration designed for enhanced passenger comfort. The Premium Economy cabin combines accessibility with an improved experience, giving travelers more options.
The updated Business Class now features a 1-2-1 layout, allowing each passenger direct aisle access. These seats fully recline into flat beds and include personal mini-bars. On select aircraft, First Class passengers can enjoy the Gamechanger suites, which provide a private and luxurious space designed with Emirates’ signature details.
Passengers across all cabins will notice refined interiors, including new color themes, Ghaf Tree motifs, and sophisticated wood finishes, elevating the onboard experience.
As Emirates continues to refurbish more aircraft, the airline is gradually expanding its upgraded Boeing 777 services to additional destinations, ensuring more travelers can enjoy a higher level of comfort on their journeys.
