Dubai (DXB) ↔ New York (JFK)

The long-haul link between the Middle East's business hub and the Big Apple. Emirates flies the A380 on this route, offering one of the most luxurious first-class experiences in the sky. With Etihad also offering connections via Abu Dhabi, this route showcases the best of Middle Eastern hospitality at 35,000 feet.

On a sector this long the aircraft you are booked into matters more than on a short hop — and the two Emirates types we track here, the Airbus A380-800 and the Boeing 777-300ER, are both at 32-inch economy pitch. See how Emirates economy legroom compares across both aircraft — seat width, layout and the paid extra-legroom rows, aircraft by aircraft.
