Last Tuesday (02/07), Emirates launched its new flight, which operates four times a week to Porto, its second destination in Portugal.
Emirates flights will be operated with a Boeing 777-200LR, in a two-class cabin configuration with the newest Business Class and Economy Class seats and interiors.
The aircraft has 38 flat seats in Business Class in a 2-2-2 configuration, and 264 seats in Economy Class.
On the first flight, the aircraft was welcomed by a traditional baptism.
The flight will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and will depart Dubai as EK197 at 09:15 am and arrive in Porto at 14:30 pm. The return flight, EK198, will depart Porto at 17:35 pm and land in Dubai at 04:15 am the following morning.
Emirates also operates two daily flights between Dubai and Lisbon, with the Boeing 777-300ER, offering more than 700 seats per day.
