Aussie jetsetters heading to Dubai will soon have several more opportunities to get a taste of luxury on their flights.

International airline Emirates will roll out its Premium Economy seats on flights EK434 and EK435 between Brisbane and Dubai from February 1.

The upgraded seats will be available on the route three times a week.

The addition will give travellers the chance to indulge in a special wine list - served in fine glassware - among other little luxuries.

Brisbane will become the third city in the airline’s Australian network to offer Premium Economy seats, which are already available on flights between Sydney or Melbourne and Dubai.
