Which Routes Have Emirates New First Class, and What are the Emirates A380 First Class U.S. Routes? Many of our clients are keen to fly Emirates First Class, especially Emirates New First Class, which is on nine 777-300ER aircraft (keep in mind that this is less than a third of Emirates 777-300ER aircraft that have first class; the other have Emirates' old first class product), or, failing that, Emirates First Class on the A380, which features on-board showers (Emirates New First Class and old First Class on the 777 do NOT have showers aboard). Connecting in Dubai DXB makes sense for clients bound for the Maldives, African safari, and for flights from Europe to Australia, at least once Australia reopens to international visitors, expected by the end of 2021/early 2022 (see Qantas plans to restart international flights December 2021).
Emirates A380 U.S. Routes
- Los Angeles LAX: Currently operating
- New York JFK: Currently operating
- San Francisco SFO: 12/1/21

Emirates First Class to other U.S. cities is on the 777, although unfortunately, not the new Emirates First Class: Boston BOS, Chicago ORD, Miami MIA.

Emirates New First Class Routes
Unfortunately Emirates New First Class isn't normally scheduled for any U.S. routes, although there are exceptions, when a 777 with Emirates New First Class is swapped onto a U.S. route from time to time. For example, of the Emirates new 777 flights over the past few days, here are the only U.S. routes, which were for those flights only (other days and flights were NOT on Emirates' new 777). Also note that of these routes, only the Miami routes offer first class; Orlando MCO and Houston IAH only offer Emirates Business Class.
- 9/23 Miami MIA to Dubai DXB EK214
- 9/23 Dubai DXB to Miami MIA EK213
- 9/22: Orlando MCO to Dubai DXB EK220
- 9/22: Dubai DXB to Orlando MCO EK219
- 9/17: Houston IAH to Dubai DXB EK212
- 9/17: Dubai DXB to Houston IAH EK211
