The Emirates A380 with a new class.

Video from the channel Aero Por Trás da Aviação about Airbus A380, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 14:21. Language: Portuguese. Video type: Onboard.

A tour of an Emirates Airbus A380 in Guarulhos (São Paulo) following the renovation of its interior, which adds a fourth class, Premium Economy, to economy, business and first class.

Premium Economy occupies the front of the lower deck, with 56 wider, reclining seats, leg rests and footrests, larger screens, electric window shades, leather and faux-wood finishes, and meals served on tableware similar to business class. Economy class runs all the way to the tail in a 3-4-3 layout, with very large screens, blue-toned upholstery and a central lavatory that can be expanded for wheelchair users. Upstairs are the bar-lounge for business and first class, the business cabin, with seats that convert into a flat bed and a control tablet, and first class, with suites closed off by doors, a large screen and a bathroom with a shower. Also shown are the children's kits handed out in all classes and the ambient lighting, which changes according to the flight phase, with points of light on the ceiling that mimic a starry sky.

The presenter recalls that the channel launched on YouTube in March 2017 with a video about this aircraft, and compares the new, cooler-toned interior with the warmer previous one. He notes that the São Paulo–Dubai flight takes around 14 hours.
