The four-class Boeing 777 is designed with 260 modern Economy seats, 24 Premium Economy seats, 40 Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 layout, and eight opulent First Class suites. Passengers will notice contemporary interiors accentuated by Ghaf Tree motifs, wooden finishes, and a refreshed color scheme.

Premium Economy travelers will savor comfortable leather seats with extensive recline, full leg and footsupports, adjustable headrests, wooden side cocktail tables, 13.3-inch screens, in-seat power outlets, and high-end amenities such as Chandon Vintage Brut 2017.
