Emirates Airline has launched new, refreshed Airbus A380 premium economy cabin interiors on US services to New York JFK and San Francisco in May. The Dubai-based UAE carrier has plans to debut the new premium economy cabin on flights to Houston and Los Angeles in June and July, respectively. 

The refurbishments include a blend of beautiful designs and new colour palettes, evident throughout the aircraft, in the carpeting, wall panels, and wood finishings, to name a few of the aesthetic enhancements that can be enjoyed by passengers in all travel classes.
