Emirates Awarded for Inflight Entertainment and Connectivity Offering

Emirates has won three major awards for its in-flight offering and connectivity.

The Dubai-based airline was named Best Inflight Entertainment, Best Connectivity: Middle East and Best Premium Economy class at the recent Pax International Magazine Awards for 2024.

Emirates customers in every class of travel can enjoy free connectivity once they sign up to Emirates Skywards. Skywards members of all tiers get free internet when travelling in Business Class and First Class. Silver, Gold and Platinum members also get free internet when flying in Economy and Premium Economy Class. Blue tier members can access free app messaging in Economy and Premium Economy Class.

Emirates ice is a world-class entertainment library of 6,500 channels, where the content is refreshed every month. Customers can curate their watchlist before their flight, by browsing and pre-selecting movies or TV shows on the Emirates app, which can then be synchronised to ice the moment they board.

Premium Economy Class is currently available on 15 routes – London Heathrow, Sydney, Melbourne, Christchurch, Auckland, Singapore, Los Angeles, New York, Houston, San Francisco, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Tokyo Narita, Sao Paulo, Dubai, and Osaka from June 11.

Emirates Premium Economy is a newly launched product that rivals Business Class on many airlines and features many new customer comforts including leather seats with a generous pitch of up to 40 inches, a 19.5 inches wide seat, and a recline of 8 inches for a comfortable cradle position with ample room to stretch out. It also offers calf rests and footrests for additional comfort, a 6-way adjustable headrest and many other thoughtful touches such as easily accessible in-seat charging points and a side cocktail table, and a 13.3” TV screen- one of the largest in its class.
