The number of commenters who have taken issue with my remarks about the chauffeur making no attempt to help with our bags, must have never taken a taxi, an Uber, a SuperShuttle, a free parking lot shuttle, a free hotel shuttle, or literally any vehicle other than their own car to the airport before. Because the drivers from all these services routinely help you get your bags on and off the vehicle. Is it a mandatory part of their job? Probably depends on the company. Is it standard courtesy and etiquette? Yes. But some of you are acting like I just invented some brand-new standard for airport drivers. 😅 When you consider the fact that only revenue passengers (i.e. those who bought their plane tickets with cash, not points or miles) are eligible for the chauffeur drive, it's odd that the standards would be so low for the passengers who are paying the most. Now granted, we are New Yorkers so we know that the service in NYC often sucks, even at the luxury/high end of things. So I'm sure the service you get from a Black Lane driver in other parts of the country and world is probably better. But NYC is one of Emirates' biggest markets, so I'd think it would be a priority to get this part of the experience right.

Mam, incase you are not aware, most Transportation Network Drivers are NOT required to lift baggages because of liability issues. If you come across a driver who does not lift the luggage as a courtesy, try to understand, some of them may look healthy but may have back issues. Thumb rule for anyone who uses Transportation Network regularly, if you could pack the luggage, you could lift it and put it in the trunk. No offense, but you sounded like it's part of riding in a Transportation Network car. It's NOT.

For long haul, it's really EK777 First (superior suites) = EK380 First (showers make it equal) > QR Business QSuites > any other business class with suite-like doors/enclosure > EK380 Business along with every other airline business class in a 1-2-1 or 1-1-1 config > EK777 Business I don't care about the crew service if I have to struggle to climb over a stranger whenever I need to go to the loo. Turkish for example can be better than EK380 business but you have to avoid TK777. The 777s I noticed tend to get the worst business products in the posh middle eastern airlines.

@@j134679yea luckily now in 2024 emirates have begun retrofitting the 777’s because not having direct aisle access in 2024 for a top tier and expensive airline like emirates is shocking. Honestly tho Q suites are like first class these days it’s so far ahead of almost every other business class only one that is close is ANA the room however u could be backwards facing which isn’t ideal. Emirates A380 business is still up there imo however the seat is not on the same level as Q suites which have a similar soft product to Emirates anyways

Thanks for the review. Interesting comparing Delta's Flight Attendants (FAs) to Emirates. As you may or may not know, once the Delta FAs reach seniority, the chances of them losing their job is close to zero. In comparison to Emirates' FAs, they are on an employment contract which is directly tied to their visa. If there are any issues with their employer, they are released and would need to leave UAE as soon as possible since their visa is no longer valid. That is some motivation.

Those minority few who dont believe in ganging up to squeeze their employers are either not allowed to opt out of unions, or if they are allowed to opt-out, they get demonised by all the other workers.

Only thing is they only have the 777 which is a bummer but the 380 coming back from Athens with a stopover in Dubai. I guess you didn't totally lose because you were able to experience both at one time and review it. Glad I watched. Great review!

I completely agree that the A380 is WORLDS better than the 777, having flown on the A380, 777-300 and the 777-200. The 1-21 configuration is becoming a focus on business class of many airlines as many airlines are moving away from the idea of first class and focusing on business class instead. It seems Emirates is still focusing on first class, especially considering the amazing first class they released on the 777-300. The 777-200 is not bad if you get an aisle seat, but again yes the 380 is better. Its unfortunate that you have to be in a city that has the 380 though. Living in Washington DC and also being near JFK also, I have multiple options to fly the 380, but cities like Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Miami etc. are all stuck with the 777 on long haul flights. I hope in the next 5 years Emirates will catch up with Qatar and Ethiad when it comes to business class. Still an amazing service and experience though.

I completely agree, although I was rather disappointed by the lack of a "C" and "H" and "I" seats within this aircraft. These letters feel unrepresented by this airline. If all the continents can be represented, then why can't all the letters of the alphabet? I would've been more satisfied on a B927. I also reside in Washington DC (when I want to at least). My favorite place is Qatar! QATAR AIRLINES FOR THE WIN!!!

One thing, I didn’t like was I had a window seat and there was some one seated in the aisle and when he was sleeping, I had a hard time climbing over him to use the restroom… kinda sucked.

Nice trip! I've done a lot of flying on Emirates and, by far, the A380 is the plane to book. With Covid, lots of Triple Sevens were substituted and I rarely have complaints about that aircraft -- but if flying Emirates business, it's a big downgrade in experiences. I've only had to "tough-out" two business class segments that way: one aboard a Triple seven from Dubai to Colombo (Sri Lanka) and the other from Cochin (India) back to DXB on an old A330 before they were retired. I had a window seat to Colombo (in the dead middle of the night with a 2:30 am departure), so bothering another guy to get up was inconvenient for us both. Emirates consistently flies A380s to New York now, but it did revert to 777s during the Covid crunch. (My first round-trip to Dubai aboard Emirates was a Triple-Seven BOTH ways, so be glad.) Even their Milan "Fifth Freedom" stop flight is back aboard the Big Boy, so everybody's happy. If you get a newer 380 model, the banquette seating in the lounge is more spacious and less weird than the crescent-shaped benches, but I quibble. EK is a remarkable product. The business lounge in the A380 terminal in Dubai is E-NORMOUS and kind-of disorienting, but you're usually bombed out with jet lag and it does fine. The spas are indeed revitalizing if one has a layover as long as yours. Enjoy treating your girls to premium seating, and what a pleasure it must be to show them around the world in such style! Enjoy your 22 in '22!

I will definitely chose a seat closest to the window so I'm not exposed to the aisle as much. I have flown on Emirates before on the A380 from JFK to Dubai to Seychelles (roundtrip). I've also flown on the A380 from JFK to Dubai to Thailand. It's important for newcomers to understand that Emirate's A380 and A350 are their best planes and those give you the highest quality service. A380 gives you the absolute best economy, business and first regardless which carrier you use. The Boeing flights are a toss up.

The real biggest mistake is choosing Emirates B777 business class when there is an option to fly the A380 Business class, for example, choosing ek145 instead of EK147 which both go to Amsterdam

@@anonymousperson1065 Maybe Q-suite is better than Emirates 777 business class, but it does not even BEGIN to compare with Emirates 777 and A380 first class, and also with Emirates A380 business class. Emirates is by far the better airline overall… I’m pretty sure Emirates will use the A380 business class on their new A350/B787 coming in 2023, and the 777X will feature a 2-2-2…

If I'm paying a HUGE amount of money and they can't get a small detail right, It makes me question are they getting the big details right? it's like the real reason why famous people ask for 'only green mnms' in their green rooms, it's to see if they are paying attention to everything. if you can't get a small detail right, I'm not trusting you with a big thing.

@@explorelondon3695 Sorry but I wouldn't have a clue about economy on any flights. I have never flown less than Business class on any airline. Well saying that on short trips of less than 2 hours because they only have 1 class, even that was hell. I also don't think Emirates is that good 90% of their flights go via Dubai other airlines are just as good if not better, and you can go direct. Saves on spending time in Dubai airport. OK their B/C lounges are good, but if your flying economy you'll be paying out huge prices to sit in a normal bar/restaurant in the end you'll be paying a lot more to travel with them.

I work in the aviation industry, and have been based out of the UAE for the last decade. You have to take into account all the markets Emirates serves. They are lot of lower-tier markets that don't generate nearly enough premium traffic to get the latest & greatest cabin interiors. Many of those those flights are short haul (3-5 hrs) on 777s, coming from the Indian subcontinent, Southwest Asia in general, other Middle Eastern countries that don't produce oil, and central Africa ie; Karachi, Lagos, Islamabad, Kampala, Addis Ababa, Kabul, Colombo, Dheli, Cairo, Jakarta, Manila, Khartoum, Dar es Salaam, and on and on, so the older, sardine-seating plan aircraft fly those routes. A very high percentage of those passengers are having their airfares paid by some kind of personnel staffing company, so luxury travel is not on the agenda. It is the way of business over here. Just research the human rights violations a lot of the wealthier arab countries have been accused of.
