Emirates is aggressively retrofitting its fleet, including Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s. This is being done primarily to add premium economy, but on the 777, we’re also seeing the introduction of a new business class product.

Wow pleasantly surprised by how fast the new 777s will be rolled out across the US network. Business class is still not great but having that premium economy option will be nice
Lucky - I think you've got wrong daily dates for Dallas, Seattle and Newark - should be 2025, not 2024.
"featuring its “Game Changer”"
Can it really still be called a "Game Changer"? The only other airline that has done something somewhat similar for it's first class is JAL. And maybe LH, once they (finally) debut their new seats.
Now, Qatar's suites, *that* was a real game changer.
@lucky, what routes is emirates new first class flying right now and into the winter schedule.. Any US ones?
Emirates really should redeploy the game changer first class seats on it's IAD route. Like, soon and permanently.
Truly wild how PE here is practically becoming the old barcalounger J almost. Wonder when we get the first lie-flat PE 😉
They’re slowly starting to be priced like J, too. Maybe eventually, they’ll also get doors in addition to lie-flats
Game Changer 777 F to IAD would be great; so much better than the standard 777…
Is DXB-IAD operated by the A380 or 777 atm though? I remember coverage that the A380 would be permanently cut from November 2023 ( https://simpleflying.com/emirates-removes-airbus-a380-washington-dulles/) yet looked at EK231 on FlightAware and saw it being operated by an A380. no idea if that is seasonal or something though
I'm trying to figure out if JFK-MIL is the only flight to EU from US. That's the A380 but not the new biz or 1st class is that right?
