I really like your videos - you seem really down to earth and I like how you just provide relevant info without any drama (cf Cahill/non-stop Dan etc...). The flight looked pretty empty, hopefully business picks up or we end up losing them! Cheers

Very detailed and honest report. Well done. Great audio too, easy to get wrong but you nailed that experience too. I’m glad you featured a little bit of Adelaide. The city doesn’t get as much attention since we don’t have that many international flights. Well done mate! Already look forward to the next one. 😊

Last time I flew EK was in 2009. It's scary to think they still have business class seats on the 777 from that time still flying. And yes, EK and the A380 is truly an indulgent way to travel. QF points are so useful for jaunts like this. 😊
@LukeCrisp2 ай бұрын
@@ryansofly Yeah that’s some time for sure. Not overly surprised as I recently had a colleague fly ADL-DXB 777 Business and wasn’t overly impressed… pretty sure it was the 2-3-2 config… but I think they have updated some of these aircraft. Very tempted to try first class… but would rather wait for a longer route to really enjoy it.

Great video, Luke. That does look like a pretty luxurious way to fly. It’s too bad you didn’t get to enjoy it for longer. Glad your meal was so good. The service on Emirates always seems top notch. What a nice gesture to let you see the first class section and shower suite. Sounded like a great experience overall. EK A380 is definitely on my bucket list.

Fantastic review mate, great showing off the start of the trip in Adelaide with the flight to Sydney first as well as per the spectacular views coming in over the Southern Alps of NZ. Also stayed at that hotel a few years back due to a flight cancellation between Perth and Wellington leading to a necessary overnight stay in Sydney. Absolutely loved it - would be great for plane spotters!. What an experience on the A380 certainly the no brainer choice for using points compared to a QF 737 on the route! With such a short flight it would be hard to choose between time in the bar at at the magnificent seat haha!
@LukeCrisp2 ай бұрын
@@AussieJetSetter The views are incredible coming into NZ and really wish I had more time over there. I’d like to take Cindy down to Queenstown and hike up Ben Lomond and spend a few days down there. Also fly into the Windy City of Wellington! Definitely love to do that trip in the next couple of years. Yeah the Citadines is a great hotel! the business class rooms have a great view over to the airport. Haha yes 100%… I flew the QF737 back and would definitely recommend EK over the QF option. It’s a shame they are no longer operating the QF 787 (Sydney to Auckland)… that was great value for points… can’t remember exactly but business was only around 21k point plus taxes around 100 or so… was a crazy deal at the time Feb 2020. Cheers for the support mate 👍
