Emirates unveils more spacious business class seats

Emirates has unveiled a brand new Business Class cabin and configuration on its Boeing 777-200LR aircraft with new wider seats laid out in a 2-2-2 configuration for the first time.

The newly refurbished Emirates 777-200LR aircraft is set in a two-class configuration which offers 38 Business Class seats and 264 seats in Economy Class. While the Business Class seats are in the same design and shape of Emirates’ latest lie-flat seats, they are now two inches wider for a more comfortable journey. The Business Class seat has a pitch of 72 inches and moves into a fully flat sleeping position.  It also has touchscreen controls for the seat and inflight entertainment system, several personal lighting options, privacy panels between seats, a shoe stowage area, footrest and a personal mini-bar.

In addition, the new Business Class cabin features a social area. The mini lounge area features snacks such as crisps, sandwiches and fruit, as well as beverages. The offering will complement Emirates’ full service of regionally inspired cuisine prepared by gourmet chefs, and accompanied by some of the most exclusive wines, champagnes and spirits in the world. Starting with Fort Lauderdale in March 2018,
10 aircrafts will be retrofitted with the new configuration over the course of the year.
