"Emirates premium economy seats have a pitch of up to 40 inches and a recline of eight inches, as well as a six-way adjustable headrest and calf and footrest stands to help passengers really stretch out. It's still a long way from the lie-flat of business class, but for my three-and-a-half-hour day flight to Mumbai, it feels like a real treat. I'm able to get snug for a film."
"Space aside, this is where the experience of flying premium economy feels just that bit more elevated than economy. Upon boarding, I'm presented with a tray of colorful juices to choose from, before swiftly being offered the day's menu. There's a three-course lunch on offer, with two options to choose from for my starter and main course. There's also a wine list, with a red (pinot noir), white (riesling) and sparkling (Chandon Brut) on offer."
"When lunch is served, my fold-over wooden lap table is laid with a heavy-duty white napkin, and food arrives on porcelain plates with mini salt and pepper shakers. I opt for roast chicken with a tangy mango salsa to start, followed by a mixed grill with biryani rice for the main course, and it certainly beats most economy food I've tried. There aren't quite as many extras as you get in business class (no bread baskets here), but I don't leave hungry."
Emirates premium economy seats provide up to 40 inches of pitch, eight inches of recline, a six-way adjustable headrest, and calf and footrest stands for increased comfort.

Boarding service includes a tray of juices and a three-course meal with two starter and main options, served on porcelain with cloth napkins and wine choices.

The offering bridges comfort and cost for day flights.
