Claim it i will also travel alone someday! ❤️

[@hellosophiemos]

rooting for you!

[@kymilinb]

The amount you paid for business class is the same amount I paid for an economy class from Dubai to Manila! You're so lucky! 😍All the best with your new journey! 🙂

[@ellekim6625]

The vlog I've been waiting for :). You're so brave not only in terms of traveling in the middle of pandemic but also for choosing to study in Dubai. I hope you can also share with us you student life journey there. Can't wait for more Dubai vlogs. Stay safe!

[@hellosophiemos]

Aww thanks Elle! I will! You too

[@rinatriesstuff]

Had the best Emirates experience when they upgraded my seat to Business Class going from DXB to MNL. Was totally knocked out from travel so I skipped one snack!! Still great experience and I wish to fly agaaaiiinn~ Good luck on your studies!

[@jhyns]

THIS VLOG. WOW. i flew to dxb from manila last august too and it was a tedious process but it’s definitely smoother now. i love how PRETTY and minimalistic this was filmed and edited 😭😭 airport and flight vibes are truly immaculate !! subscribing na 🤍

I'm glad you are traveling during the pandemic my favorite airline Emirates I have flown with them back in December of 2021 to Dhaka Bangladesh 🇧🇩.

[@hellosophiemos]

Has become one of my favorites too! :)

[@jeiangela]

Yay for a new vlog! 🥳 Been waiting for this just like the others here. As a former airline staff, that USD500+ for business class is really such a steal! Hope you can share on your next vlog on what made you decide to take your MBA in Dubai and its process. Good luck on your studies! Stay safe always. 🤗

[@hellosophiemos]

Yaay glad to hear it was a steal 😆 Thanks Jei!

[@irareyes6173]

So happy to for you to start this new journey! I actually did the same thing, moved out of our country to study here in Canada. I know that it was really such a big decision for you and your family but everything will be worth it! All the best on this journey, Sophie!

[@deltafrosttv9311]

I miss dubai since 2016. You meet a lot of people in Dubai coming from a lot of different places. Even me, im always in transit,. I don't stay in anywhere to long. I like the energy that I found when I come at the first time i start knowing people, and people knowing me as well. Have a nice trip maam

[@hellosophiemos]

Yaaas! Can't wait for you to experience it! :)

[@fionagailefernandez5746]

I got a free upgrade to business class in 2019 when I flew Emirates. Dubai to PH. I think there were a few passengers that time in business class or maybe they took pity on me because I had to spent 7 hours in the airport when I landed from Paris. Haha. The experience was a delight. The reclining seats that actually turn into a bed! I slept like a baby. I also availed of the champagne! Hahaha. Minsan lang sa business class eh! Food was also great! Good luck on your MBA. I'm looking forward to your future vlog on how you picked your school and why you considered taking your MBA abroad. Stay safe and healthy!

[@hellosophiemos]

Wow! You definitely deserve it after that 7 hour layover! Glad to hear you had the same positive experience! 💜 Thanks so much! Stay safe too!

Must be super helpful because most of the working class in Dubai is phillipino! Such nice and amazing people I have met on my visits to Dubai :) Phillipines is the next place I want to travel to! Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar airlines are the best in the world, I've experienced all their business classes... Qatar being my absolute favorite!

[@hellosophiemos]

Hope you can visit the PH when it's much safer. Hope I can try out other business class at other airlines in the future! *fingers crossed* :)

The 2-3-2 layout is very outdated for business class. The seat configuration must be 1-2-1 so that all passengers will get an aisle access.

[@billang7318]

no free chauffeur ride as a business class passenger. in USA they offered free Dubai too hotel and vice versa, the seat on emirate is 1-2-1 not 2-2-2 , are they using old plane in Phils to Dubai, I don't even see any free drinks beside your seat.
