Dubai (DXB) ↔ Sydney (SYD)

The famous "Kangaroo Route" segment operated by Emirates, connecting the Middle East to Australia's harbour city. Emirates flies the A380 on this route, providing a welcome break for travelers making the long journey from Europe to Australia via Dubai. With Qantas also codesharing, this route offers exceptional service and connectivity.

Emirates flies the A380-800 and the 777-300ER on this corridor — the two types we track — and in our data the two cabins differ by seat width rather than by seat pitch. Compare the Emirates A380 and 777 legroom side by side before you choose a seat, and check when the extra-legroom rows are worth paying for.
