Oomar Ramtoola, Emirates’ Manager for the Indian Ocean Islands, said: “Mauritius has always been an important market for Emirates, and the introduction of Premium Economy on the route is another demonstration of our continued commitment to our Mauritian customers as well as the nation’s travel and tourism industry. Emirates’ Premium Economy offering provides travellers with an attractive proposition, with stylish and elevated cabins for those seeking additional comfort and privacy for longer journeys.”
“With the steady roll out of Emirates’ Premium Economy, the enhanced offering is now available on an extensive network of routes, so our customers from Mauritius will be glad to know they can enjoy the signature experience to Dubai and onwards to 70 destinations in Europe, Asia and the Americas,” added Ramtoola.
Among the popular destinations where customers from Mauritius can enjoy Premium Economy throughout the entire journey, with a connection in Dubai, are select flights to Bangkok, and all six daily services to London Heathrow, among others.

Each 19.5-inch seat offers generous legroom and recline, together with six-way adjustable headrests, a footrest, in-seat charging points, a wood-finished side cocktail table and a 13.3-inch personal entertainment screen.
