A380 BUSINESS CLASS to India | Dubai - Mumbai | Emirates Business Class | Emirates A380 |Trip Report

Have you ever wondered what the experience is on a short haul Emirates A380 flight?
Well join me along to Mumbai and let me show you just how awesome it is!
Thank you all for joining me this week on yet another video.
Spoiler alert: this flight is just incredible. I am in love with the Emirates A380 experience.
While the flight is just 2.5 hours short, Business Class passengers still get picked up by a private chauffeur, driven directly to the private DXB T3 premium check in area, you’ll have access to the Emirates Business Class Lounge from where you’ll board the upper deck of your A380 directly.
And we even get to fly an A380 with the updated livery! How perfect is this day?!
Prepare to experience some quality and let me know in the comments if there is any airline in the world that offers you more on a flight of this length.
Thanks for being here and I wish you a lot of watch fun!
Enjoy!
Today we are showcasing you the following flight:
From: Dubai International Airport, Dubai, the United Arab Emirates
To: Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Flight Number: EK 500
Aircraft Type: Airbus A380-900

You r the best man ! Best Vlogger in aviation coverage ! Love the crisp editing and attention to details ! Amazing 👌❤️❤️❤️ keep them coming

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks a lot for the generous words! I do my best to make all the other avgeeks out there happy. Much more coming! 😉

[@skilz9525]

Do Mumbai meetup I am sure you have lot of fans from Mumbai like me!!! Hope your business related work keeps going at Mumbai.

[@AmolNimbalkar]

As someone who has recently been frequent on Emirates A380 between India and USA, I must say it is THE BEST way to fly. The only one thing I would encourage emirates to do is try and see if they can design the seat closer to the QSuite but other than that Emirates is a clear winner. Love this video as always and can’t wait to see more of it. Also, always appreciate the destination language touch. Being a marathi, that sarvottam made me appreciate your efforts and dedication to quality content. Thank you so much!

[@byromania]

I am in awe of Emirates, and this trip report!! Both are absolutely incredible!!

[@TheLayoverAviation]

They even keep wowing me all the time. And I didn’t even try 5% of what is actually available!😅

[@TheSirguroh]

Best Airline, Best Service, Best Route & a very well made video... Kudos!

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks a lot, glad you liked it! Great airline indeed 😊

[@mauriceaviation]

When I first saw the livery I was shocked, it's modern,fresh,awesome,non typical...It's nice! I like it😊 As always, flying in style is always awesome,especially with Emirates 😊 Their BC is amazing 😊 Amazing video! Thank you for sharing buddy!😊 See you soon! 😊

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I didn’t like it at all at first as it made the A380 look very small. But now that I saw it from up close at the Dubai Airshow I ended up liking it a lot! Lot’s of details I didn’t notice before. BC is amazing indeed, looking forward to more! Thanks for being here yet another week!

[@mauriceaviation]

@@TheLayoverAviation I will always be here mate! ☺️

[@shauryasinha4159]

Oh,I love that airline! It is one of the best a380s in the world and is also one of the Top 4s.

[@ItzJustNoobPro]

Really cool flight report! Can't wait for the next videos👍

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Great stuff coming up in the next months!

[@HansinKoppada05]

Another Stunning report alex. Emirates never fails to impress and the a380 is just a wonderful machine. Thanks again for sharing and hope to see more wonderful trip reports buddy!

[@snfab1]

wonderful clip your videos always come alive welcome to my beautiful vibrant city thks again👍👍

[@TheLayoverAviation]

It’s a nice flight to Mumbai, so close! And so many airlines flying between both cities.

[@shazzadmiah389]

Your all the flight videos are so best bro thank you so much ❤

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks for the nice words!! Glad you enjoy!

[@geraldmarco]

My first experience of a business class international flight is with an A380 Emirates Flight bound to Dusseldorf. Watching a content like this refreshes my memory of that day. It was a lovely flight experience. ❤❤❤

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I’m glad it brought back some memories! I hope you get to fly it again on one of the A380’s with the brand new interiors 😊

[@abbassmookhyy]

Amazing Video. And yes please Emirates premium economy vlog would be awesome

[@TheLayoverAviation]

It will be done! Thanks for writing 😉

[@r3m_2m]

16:47 Fun fact: Emirates uses the Rockwell Collins Airshow 500 Moving Maps on the majority of their fleet. The reason why it does not look like a typical Airshow 500 Map is because Emirates heavily customized this Airshow with their colour scheme, typeface, etc. You learn something new every day. 😮

[@TheLayoverAviation]

That is very true! And it will be even more spectacular on the A350. I met some IFE people from Thales that told me some of the goodies that are expected 👏

[@ushnishchakravarty]

I have also been in Emirates business class flight return leg EK 503 It was as epic at it was Food was amazing and I had a lot of fun on my way to Dubai and onwards to Montreal

[@TheLayoverAviation]

That flight is epic indeed but I am always asleep, it’s just a horrible timing!! Glad you had a good flight. I’ll publish a flight to Montreal soon. Have a nice day!

[@ushnishchakravarty]

@@TheLayoverAviation yeah it was a wonderful flight indeed! waiting for your montreal vlog....do let me know if you arrive here

[@jeetpatel1471]

Flying my first A380 from JFK to DXB in January even though it’s economy, I’m still excited.

[@C1063]

Very nice and exciting trip in the majestic facilities of Emirates and fabulous experience travel in tne big boy king of the skyes A380✈️✔️👍🏽 thanks for sharing 🥰

[@Surge_Back]

The video is really great! The thing that surprised me was that there are limited seats for Emirates in India and also the fact that Emirates would be able to fill up 6 or more a380s like LHR. The Livery feels very fresh and modern. All the food was Amazing!. The a380 is a beast!

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks a lot, it’s a very cool flight to take so it was easy to make an interesting video. If Emirates could cover entire India they would, but yes, limited by seats. That’s why they even fly the B777-200LR on some flights and no A380 to Delhi. The livery looks awesome from up closer Thanks for being here and see you around!

Mumbai is my home city. What a luxurious way to travel from Dubai.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Right?! It even keeps wowing me and I’m so familiar with it!

[@sebinamuwanga]

Great video, Alex. That A380 is so quiet, I did not hear the flap extension actuator sound. The equivalent of paratha in East Africa is Chapati. Tastes damn good with the right curry.

[@KwakuAddoDanquah]

Was on the reverse route, i.e, BOM to DXB, albeit in Economy. It’s just a joy to fly in the A380…

[@TheLayoverAviation]

It is indeed. The problem on that flight is that it’s so tiring 😴

[@imittal76]

Fantastic video, as always you have put in a lot of effort and included tons of information in the video. I have never flown on Emirates business class but looking at the incredible service offered, I need to start saving for it 😀

The new livery is spectacular. I love the new edition especially on their A380. Emirates ordering additional 777x, and 787 Dreamliner is amazing news! Please try their Premium Economy.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I didn’t like the livery at first but from close I ended up liking it a lot. The new orders are a warm welcome and I’m sure many new destinations around the world will open up. Looking forward to that! And I tried Premium Economy a few times but didn’t have time to film. It will come! Thanks for watching 😜

[@abdurrafi6555]

@@TheLayoverAviation Yes, I agree. When they first introduced the livery I was second guessing and it took time for me to get used to it. Then, I eventually liked the new livery. I look forward to it, thank you! ✈

[@khushroozaveri3486]

Very nice video I want to see more of Emirates flights

[@TheLayoverAviation]

As I live in Dubai it definitely won’t be the last!

[@flipboerrigter9487]

Hola Alex! Great coverage as always! Awesome. But can I be brutally honest?? I know your and mine absolute love for Emirates and flying to and from DXB but just personally it seems to become a little bit of a repeat button. Some undescribed airlines and or other areas like Air NZ (haha) would be so much appreciated and will give your channel an extra boost!! Happy to help anywhere I can my friend! Groeten, Flip.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I know Flip.. It’s not the first time I get that recommendation, and I am aware of it. But I work full time and I can only film the flights from Dubai that I usually take for work or some of the leisure ones. Going to New Zealand would require at least 3 days of my time, besides the couple thousand $ of investment and I would be far from my little boy. KZbin is my hobby and until then it will be very hard to fly all over the world with only the filming purpose.. I’m limited to what I can do 😔 I hope you understand. But if I could, I would!

[@paolabolzoni5042]

Among the airlines you have traveled in business class, I think Emirates is absolutely the best!!! also because it has always been my favorite Asian airline, but there is one thing that comes naturally to me, you really eat in business! but in the lounges you can only drink if you're thirsty? and for the wines you do well, to taste them all.... I would do it too in your place and then I congratulate you again. I like the music you put in the background before your theme song... I'm waiting for the next video and when you return to business enjoy the business for me too....please🙏... i never traveled on business Thanks

[@Buvan_Kumar]

Loved the livery, the commentary and the video overall. Please do visit more cities in India like Hyderabad or Kolkata. Also, I think its an Air France B777-300ER. Awesome work 👍

[@maitreyabhattacharya]

Fantastic video! Its very sad to know that the A380s will be retired by the 2040s and Emirates is downsizing as it recently ordered B777-9X, B777-8X, B787-10, B787-8 and A350-900 aircraft. Their new livery looks great and better than the previous one. Neither the new livery nor the old one looks good on the 777. I think the 777 is too small in size for the new livery, after all the A380 immediately comes to mind if we think of Emirates. Please try to film the Emirates Premium Economy or the Gamechanger First Class. What are we getting for the next video?

[@travelandbeyonds]

Man.. I so wanted to fly the Emirates A380 on my trip to Dubai recently. But sadly it doesnt fly to Delhi. I mean the 777 was great, for me atleast it was the best flight I had ever took. But A380 is still the King of the skies. So travelling in it would be a different experience altogether and I am very much hoping it comes true.. and who knows maybe in business class 😉 I hope the bilateral air service agreement between India and UAE is amended to include more seats. Coz its not just stopping Emirates but also the Indian carriers to fly between India and Dubai. Akasa Air the newest airline in India is now eligible for starting Intl. operations but it cant fly to Dubai. And even Vistara which is the most premium airline of India currently, doesnt get to fly on the Delhi-Dubai sector which is the second busiest international sector of India. There is a lot of demand, so now is the time to pump up the supply.
