Emirates’ EK103 flight will depart from Dubai at 4.20 pm to reach Athens at 8.25 pm. Flight EK104 will depart from Athens at 11.10 pm to land in Dubai at 4.45 am the next day.

The two-storey aircraft had landed in Athens for the first time in 2012 to conduct a single route, aiming to enhance the tourism and commercial relations between Greece and the United Arab Emirates. “This year it is coming back to offer 2,031 additional seats in 15 days,” the company said.

The A380 offers 429 seats in Economy class; 76 seats-beds in Business class and 14 private suites in First class on the first floor. First class passengers can also enjoy one of the two available “Shower Spas”, as well as free drinks in the “On Board Lounge”.
