Emirates next-gen premium economy

[RooFlyer]

Emirates nor PE are usually on my radar, but this looks like a fantastic product

Agreed, that looks good. I just did Y+ SYD-SIN on an SQ A380 daytime flight. I was apprehensive about it but it was fine, and I would 100% do it again.

It does look like an excellent hard product.
Much better than business class on any current QF narrow body.
They key question is the price.
I searched google flights for return flights DXB-LHR on 4-31 December.
(Dates I was searching for another reason.)
The results for EK were:
Y - $ 1,614
PE - $ 3,493
J - $ 8,471
F - $19,536
It was a pleasant surprise to see the PE fare closer to the Y fare than the J fare.
However the cheapest fares in each class were:
Y - $ 709 - RJ
PE - $ 1,856 - AF
J - $ 2,965 - RJ
F - $ 8,512 - OY
So I'd be flying business on RJ and considering a stopover in Amman to spend the $528 I just saved!
And also earning a whack of status credits for the 4 sectors.

(Footnote: can we insert tables here? I tried to align all the prices but when I posted the "excess" spaces all disappeared.)

Crazy to think they went from denying PE to introducing it to updating it so quickly.
