It's maddeningly difficult to find any Special fares on the Emirates website, and if you're thinking of flying aboard Emirates on a Special fare from Australia, tough luck, "At this stage, the special fares are to be confirmed for Australia," according to an Emirates spokesperson.
And that comes with the full suite of Qatar's business class goodies.

One reason that Emirates might be treading cautiously is that the airline is planning to introduce premium economy seats on its As in There's a big leap in comfort, food, status recognition and personal service between premium economy and business class.
Emirates would not want to jinx its premium economy seats by having them compete with their Special fare business seats, and therefore the relatively high price of those seats. It's a low-risk option. Emirates can vary the number of these Special seats to offer more on routes and times when higher cost business class seats with the full complement of bells and whistles are unlikely to sell out.
In peak season, on a route where the airline is assured of a high number of business class bookings, you can bet Emirates won't be offering any Special business class fares. Emirates is in new territory with its unbundled business class seat. For a comparison you might look at a low-cost carrier that offers a similarly shorn service, and AirAsia's Premium Flatbed is a likely candidate. Baggage allowance for Premium Flatbed flyers is 40 kilograms, you get a complimentary meal — although don't expect it to be within coo-ee of an Emirates business class meal.
You get to pick a seat, priority boarding and priority baggage handling. So much for the frills, but it's the seat that really matters. It's a lie-flat seat rather than a full-flat bed, which means there's a slight downward tilt toward the feet. The shell-type seat has a pitch of cm, extending to cm in full-recline mode. So far so good, although in terms of storage compartments and privacy the Emirates business class seat puts it in the shade. In common with many low-cost airlines there are no seat-back screens.
The inflight entertainment feeds to a dedicated AirAsia Xcite Tablet device and Sony noise-cancelling headphones, one free perk that separates AirAsia's Premium Flatbed passengers from their economy flyers.

Emirates is not the only player tinkering with its business class, but while that airline is looking to unbundle its business class, Lufthansa is heading in the other direction, "upbundling".
