Emirates First & Business Class To Athens & Milan |
| If you’re planning a trip to Europe this fall or into early 2026, Emirates has business class availability for up to seven passengers. With the introduction of lie-flat seats on the Newark-Athens route, it’s now worth booking!
As a bonus, I’ve highlighted dates with one seat available in first class. While this space is more limited, it's often possible to upgrade from business class using extra miles at check-in if you’re flying with a travel companion.
Now, let's get into it. |

| Flight Experience
Emirates first class gets all the press, but the business class product is a solid way to fly to Europe. The business class cabin is arranged in a 1-2-1 layout so everyone has direct aisle access and a lie-flat seat.
While Emirates is sending their newly retrofitted 777s on the Newark to Athens route, the big selling point of the A380 is the inflight bar. It’s a great spot to hang with friends - or make new friends!
