Fly in more comfort: Emirates adds A350 and premium economy to Oslo flights

Emirates A350-900

Emirates is celebrating two new offerings for travel to Scandinavia: A350 aircraft and Premium Economy. The plane and cabin signal a milestone in the airline’s investment in Norway, with the Emirates A350 known for its comfort and service, and Business Class, Premium Economy, and Economy interiors. The airline launched daily service between the UAW and Oslo in 2014, with the route a favorite for business and leisure travelers.

Enhanced Comfort and Efficiency for Emirates Passengers to Oslo

The Airbus A350-900 is key to Emirates fleet growth strategy, with the airline receiving its initial planes in November of 2024. According to Airbus: “The A350 is the world’s most modern and efficient widebody aircraft and the long-range leader in the 300-410 seater category. Its clean sheet design includes state-of-the-art technologies, aerodynamics, lightweight materials, and latest generation engines that together deliver a 25% advantage in fuel burn, operating costs and CO₂ emissions. The A350’s Airspace cabin is the quietest of any twin-aisle in the sky, featuring a 50% noise footprint reduction versus the previous generation aircraft.”

Emirates’ Premium Economy cabin brings luxury travel to everyone, with a flight experience similar to Business Class. Amenities include a 13.3-inch TV screen, large pillow and blanket, in-seat charging points, and more. Seats are finished in beautiful cream leather, with a 40-inch pitch, 8-inch recline, and full leg and footrests, and adjustable headrests.

Terje Grue, Emirates Country Manager for Norway, said: “We are thrilled to bring the A350 and our Premium Economy product to Norway. This is an important step in strengthening our presence in the market. Travelers from Oslo will now be able to enjoy an entirely new level of comfort, whether flying to Dubai or onwards to our many destinations across Asia, Africa, and Australia.”

The Palouse: America’s Most Underrated Scenic Drive
Waterfalls, barns, and the wide open spaces the West is known for. All at the tip of your fingers in the Pacific Northwest
Field, Grassland, Nature

When Americans talk about spectacular landscapes, they usually mention the obvious headliners: the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Rocky Mountains, or the dramatic coastlines of California and Oregon. Far fewer people have heard of the Palouse, a remarkable agricultural region straddling eastern Washington and western Idaho.

That is a shame because the Palouse is one of the most visually distinctive landscapes in North America—and one of the most rewarding road trips you can take in the Pacific Northwest. I have visited this area several times, both as a destination in its own right and on my way through to the Idaho Panhandle.

Inside Gordon Ramsay’s spectacular new London restaurant in the sky
From skyline views to Gordon's famous fried chicken, Lucky Cat delivers on every level
City, Urban, Metropolis

I'm not saying Gordon Ramsay is the reason I booked a dinner reservation in London.

But after my partner and I binged Being Gordon Ramsay on Netflix earlier this year, visiting Lucky Cat suddenly shot to the top of our list.

London has no shortage of rooftop bars. Florattica still stands out
This East London rooftop bar proves you don't need to be 50 floors up to impress
Bar, Person, Candle

London does not need another rooftop bar. The city has them stacked on top of skyscrapers, tucked behind hotel lobbies, and squeezed onto buildings where you'd swear there isn't room for a bar, let alone a view. So when a new one claims to be worth your evening, it has some convincing to do.

Florattica, perched on the 11th floor of Canopy by Hilton London City, did the convincing. It just recently picked up its first PIN from The Pinnacle Guide, and after a night spent working through its cocktail menu (slowly, responsibly, mostly), it's easy to see why.
