This is flight 10 of 33 from my recent trip where I flew around the world. At the end of September through the beginning of October, I set out to fly around the Earth, and after 16 days, 13 airlines, 33 flights, and over 38,000 miles, I landed back in Kansas City, Missouri after visiting 13 different countries. Over the next 7 weeks I'll be posting these flights in order, so you too can take this incredible journey, exactly as I did! The flights will be posted every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday until all 33 flights are live! So, check back three times every week to take this incredible journey with me!

Glad you enjoyed it my friend! And that is one of the benefits of sitting over thew wing. In all honesty, I thought my seat was going to be farther back than it ended up being. I didn't intend to sit basically over the wing here which some people don't like. And I'll admit the views on this flight weren't great because my seat was farther forward than I thought ti was going to be. However, what sitting here does showcase well is the sounds and noises associated with the wing operating and the hydraulic system. So in that respect, that's actually a good thing for those of us who enjoy hearing those sounds. Anyway, thanks for watching my friend!

Glad you enjoyed it my friend. The A380's wing and how much it flexes always amazes me. Like the 787 is one thing. It flexes, and it flexes a lot... But it doesn't look heavy if that makes sense. When you're on the ground and it's just hanging by it's own weight the 787 wing just looks fine still. With the A380 it's like you can feel the wing and its immense weight. It just looks heavy, which then makes it look so cool when it's generating lift. Again, if that all makes sense 😂

Well unfortunately I didn't get to do or see much in NZ on this trip. After arriving on this flight I only had like 4 hours before my next flight and... Well... I was detained by NZ customs and immigration for nearly 2 of those 4 hours because they thought I was lying when I told them I was an aviation enthusiast who runs a KZbin channel and that's why I was only entering the country for 4 hours 😂. The first agent who... Questioned me would not believe me and said it was a "weird" story even when I went so far as to show her the picture of me with my Silver Play Button. She just could not fathom this is my job and thought I must be up to no good haha. Eventually a supervisor got involved, where I learned the first agent was in training still. And it was all cleared up quite quickly at that point. It's worth a good laugh now, but it used up most of my time in Christchurch and then my next flight was this same flight going back to Sydney. So I'll have to hit Auckland on my next trip. Hopefully I won't be detained again and I'll have more time next time haha.

It is a short route for an A380, but Emirates does it for a good reason. It would be especially crazy if it were a standalone flight. But this flight is not a standalone flight. In both directions, this flight is an additional leg that Emirates uses to help fill the plane on its way to either Dubai or Christchurch, depending on which way you're flying it. EK412, as seen here, operates DXB-SYD-CHC. And EK413, that we'll take on Wednesday, operates CHC-SYD-DXB. Through flights in both directions. This allows Emirates to utilize an A380, thereby offering their top level of service, on a route that otherwise couldn't support an A380 by itself. And that route is the legs to and from Christchurch. See, Emirates already offers another nonstop DXB-SYD-DXB flight every day. Another A380 that doesn't add the extra leg to CHC on. But this flight does add the extra leg on. It allows Emirates to supplement their Christchurch service with additional passengers going to and from Sydney. So for example, let's take a look at this leg here. They want to offer A380 service to Christchurch, but they only have enough daily demand to fill half an A380. So, they send the plane to Sydney first. Then they fill those extra seats for 75% of the flight. It stops in Sydney, they unload the 50% of the plane going to Sydney, they then fill as many of the open seats as they can with passengers like me who are only doing the SYD-CHC leg, and then they continue on to Christchurch with a relatively full A380. Then, of course, just look at this example in reverse to see how it works for them going the other direction. This is actually a very clever way for Emirates to offer their A380 to a city that otherwise wouldn't be able to support it alone. So in that respect, this is actually a very good use for the plane.

@sla31
@sla31 Күн бұрын
No, Emirates hasn't changed their model. This is what is called a fifth freedom flight. A fifth freedom flight is a flight operated by an airline between two countries that it is neither based in, nor operates departures regularly from. In both directions, this flight is an additional leg that Emirates uses to help fill the plane on its way to/from Christchurch. EK412, as seen here, operates DXB-SYD-CHC. And EK413 operates CHC-SYD-DXB. This allows Emirates to utilize an A380, thereby offering their top product, to a market that otherwise couldn't support an A380 by itself. And that market in this instance is Christchurch. Sydney can easily support an A380. In fact, it can easily support more than one daily A380. Emirates offers three daily roundtrips from Dubai to Sydney and back. One of those three flights is EK412/413 that you see here. Instead of just doing DXB-SYD-DXB, EK412/413 does DXB-SYD-CHC-SYD-DXB. It allows Emirates to supplement their Christchurch service with additional passengers going to and from Sydney. Thereby easily filling the A380 and still maintaining profitability even though there's not enough demand to operated to Christchurch outright. Fifth freedom flights are more prevalent around the world than most people realize. For example, Singapore airlines operates daily service from SIN-MXP-BCN-MXP-SIN. British Airways operates daily service from LHR-NAS-GCM-NAS-LHR. I could go on but you get the point. Fifth freedom flights are a clever way for airlines to offer service to markets that otherwise wouldn't be able to support that service alone. Thanks for watching my friend!

Yes, it can. Easily. But Christchurch likely can't support a profitable or full load on an A380 by itself. So instead of not serving CHC at all, or having to serve it with a 777, Emirates does this one stop flight where they can fill the empty seats with passengers going to and from Sydney. This is a prime example of a fifth freedom flight where Emirates operates between two countries that it's not based at, in order to help fill the plane.

Hmmmm... looks like you got a little short-changed with the view there on this flight. I was in Christchurch in November 1996. I took the city bus to the gondola and went up to the top of Mt. Cavendish. Wow - what a VIEW!!! And it's even better at sunset. I'm watching Top Gun Maverick right now. In real life, if Tom Cruise had jumped out of that darkstar plane going at Mach 10, he'd end up being VERY dead. And many people have interpreted the movie where he was indeed killed in the crash and the rest of the film was a post death afterlife dream of his. Tom Cruise may have done just fine jumping off of the top of the Olympic Stadium in Paris and then suddenly being transported to a beach in LA, bur he most certainly would've been very dead from that darkstar crash. Anyhow, another fine installment of your Super-Amazing race. And if you have an urge to fly at high hypersomic speed in an experimental military aircraft, you might want to rethink that plan.

You can't display a flight with an A 380 better than Bryce does. People have to accept that this plane is one massive piece of aircraft. I am working on planes - real planes ! - every day. Airbus A 320/A 330 & 340. The A 380 is twice as big as a regular wide body jet. People have to think about this great piece of engineering. So big and heavy ( maximum take off weight 495 tons ) it needs big and wide wings. Otherwise you can't get that baby up in the air. He filmed that in the best possible way. It's kinda boring to fly with an A 380. You don't feel any kind of typical aircraft noises or movements. Even not when they set down for landing. You only hear that hydrolic pump pushing the slats and the flaps down. So stop complaining about the unspectular filming here. Flying in an A 380 isn't spectacular. It's flying like in a small castle with wings mounted on. Ok ? 👍👍👍
@sla31
@sla31 10 күн бұрын
Something worth mentioning that people often don't realize is how small the windows are on the A380. They are tiny and because the fuselage is so wide, instead of being a couple inches between the structural window and the inner plastic window, there's more like 8 inches between the two. Because the window is so small and there is so much space between the two layers it actually makes filming on the A380 more challenging than any other aircraft. Not only does that extra space allow for more glaring and reflection, but it also makes it super difficult to film the wing without showing any of the window frame. You can even see some of the window frame in this video and that's with basically filming straight out over the wing. The farther behind the wing, or the farther in front of the wing you get, the worse that becomes because you have to angle the camera to get the wing in frame. So, as I mentioned in a couple other comments that I know you've already seen, but in case someone else hasn't, I actually intended to be slightly farther back and honestly I'm not sure if it was a configuration change from what I booked or if it was just me miscalculating... Either way, if I were to move 5 rows farther back, there'd then be even more of the window frame in the shot so when it comes to the A380 it's kind of a catch 22. Pick your poison... Do you want the massive wing to obstruct the view, or the window frame 😂. Thanks for watching and for that extra explanation my friend.

But this flight is not a standalone flight.

EK412, as seen here, operates DXB-SYD-CHC. And EK413, that we'll take on Wednesday, operates CHC-SYD-DXB. Through flights in both directions. This allows Emirates to utilize an A380, thereby offering their top level of service, on a route that otherwise couldn't support an A380 by itself. And that route is the legs to and from Christchurch. See, Emirates already offers another nonstop DXB-SYD-DXB flight every day. Another A380 that doesn't add the extra leg to CHC on. But this flight does add the extra leg on. It allows Emirates to supplement their Christchurch service with additional passengers going to and from Sydney. So for example, let's take a look at this leg here. They want to offer A380 service to Christchurch, but they only have enough daily demand to fill half an A380. So, they send the plane to Sydney first. Then they fill those extra seats for 75% of the flight. It stops in Sydney, they unload the 50% of the plane going to Sydney, they then fill as many of the open seats as they can with passengers like me who are only doing the SYD-CHC leg, and then they continue on to Christchurch with a relatively full A380. Then, of course, just look at this example in reverse to see how it works for them going the other direction. This is actually a very clever way for Emirates to offer their A380 to a city that otherwise wouldn't be able to support it alone. So in that respect, this is actually a very good use for the plane. Thanks for watching my friend!

I'm not an expert. When I submitted my comment, I thought it was a standalone flight, not a continuation flight ​@nikolauswolff5791

I mean more fuel is added to an A380 for this flight than to an A321 or 737.

Bad window seat. All I see is the wing.

You know, it doesn't really matter where I sit on a flight because there's always someone who doesn't like it. You know what one of the best things about me uploading a new video every day is? I upload a ton of new content and I'm always switching my seats so everyone gets the view/angle they want. In fact, I just released another Emirates A380 full flight today in a completely different seat. So maybe this one is more your style: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opPGZ5p4mJVrrpIsi=IR3ZVpy3RXIo2SxK. Plus, remember that the A380 wing is massive. So it's going to take up a lot of the frame no matter what.

I usually enjoy your content but this one was absolutely boring. Two hours plus of seeing nothing but an A380 wing. After a few minutes I quit watching.

Sometimes things don’t work out. The A380’s wing is massive and Emirates has multiple different A380 configurations. When I selected this seat, based on the configuration I thought was going to be used, I believed the seat was going to be farther back, well behind the back of the wing. Unfortunately, sometimes the plane is swapped for a different configuration, or my research ahead of time is just wrong. This was one of those times. I intended to be a good 5 or 6 rows behind the back of the wing. Sometimes that’s what happens. Sorry you didn’t like this one my friend.

Thanks for responding. I can see how that can happen, especially with an aircraft like the A380. Oh well, maybe next time you'll get a better seat.

@tomk8663 well the good news for you is that I took this flight as a round trip and on the way back I was sitting in front of wing/engines. Which led to a significant less obstructed view even though I was still closer to wing than I expected to be 😂. That leg posts on Wednesday.
