I Just Flew First Class On The Emirates Airlines A380 - Was It Worth It?

Come with me for a once-in-a-lifetime experience flying first class on the iconic Emirates A380 from New York to Dubai.
This unfiltered vlog review takes you behind the scenes for the entire insane experience:
- Room tour (yes, a room, not a seat)
- Gourmet food options (eating 10,000 calories)
- Showering at 40,000 feet
- Hanging out at a staffed bar in the sky
- Sampling the insane drink menu ($1000 cognac)
You'll feel like you were there with me. I show you EVERYTHING!
With a round-trip ticket price of ~$20,000, you can decide for yourself, is it worth it?

[@Sahil_Bloom]

amen

[@robertweisberg5570]

I have flown this twice. My flight from Dubai to Hong Kong only had a pilot in the cabin other than me and my wife. Food is amazing.Gift bag and other things they give you. Shower is amazing.

[@aliabdaal]

This is sooo cool ❤

[@Sahil_Bloom]

Next time you’re joining me

Thanks for taking us along!! Loved the notebook! I always show my biology students the Amoeba Sisters KZbin videos and they always end with “stay curious”….love it!!

[@odumfrancis2157]

So soo good! Love the authenticity!

[@evelas5303]

[@AtomicAkshay]

I would have behaved the same way if I got a chance to fly first class like this, soo relatable :)

[@Sahil_Bloom]

So much fun!

[@rahulbansal90]

Thanks Sahil for showing the glimpse of whats on the other side if we put in the work. 😊

[@elise11168]

Love to see all the fun and enjoyment! That’s the way to do it 🎉

[@Sahil_Bloom]

What it's all about!

[@TheFreedmind]

Genuinely as happy for you as I would have been for myself. You really deserve it, congrats Sahil.

[@Sahil_Bloom]

positive sum mentality!

[@Andre-Nader]

You kept alluding to you not paying for this- who paid? Sponsored by the airline or the event you are going to hook it up?

[@forthelrpod]

This was wild. Thanks for sharing!

[@Sahil_Bloom]

Thanks for watching!

[@kirbyketrow6846]

Fabulous …enjoyed your review

Bucket list item for me. Looks like such a fun experience!

[@Sahil_Bloom]

Had a blast

[@serafinlopez2290]

Amazing flight

[@joshuamathew2769]

Anyone else find the part where the video somewhat abruptly cuts to Sahil laying on the bed at 4:47, laughing and shaking from the turbulence funnier than they should? I legit CRACKED up at that part. Anyways, 'twas a great video, Sahil!

[@bittyb.9825]

This was fun, almost like being there! Love your gratitude, I would feel the same. Have a great trip! Question, is the bathroom/shower private for your use only?

[@_Ricky]

Sahil - amazing video. As a fairly recent follower of your work, it's so fun to see you experiencing something that's been my bread and butter for my career so far (First Class travel). Hope to see more of these on the channel - just need to get some Cold Wisdom from the shower in the sky next time! 😉

[@harshsharma9322]

This man has infinite supply of energy!

[@Sahil_Bloom]

Let's go!

[@louiseb3653]

Love this. So glad you ate loads as love seeing what the food is like. I’d eat everything from the menu 😂 🐷

[@dhruvsarang7636]

I loved to see the goofy side of you, probably my favorite video of yours

[@Sahil_Bloom]

Thanks so much!

[@jduejfjffjffj]

Barca to Thailand is 3.8k I love it

[@bhabeshmahata8929]

Sahil how you set values in different field of your life? What is your approach???

[@samparr9899]

i hate to admit it, but these are good.

[@Sahil_Bloom]

lol @ I hate to admit it

[@robertweisberg5570]

The mini bar in there isn’t needed since they will get you anything and those drinks are not cold. Caviar, champagne. I loved the food. The spa bathroom is spotless and has everything you need. The floor is heated. I hate turbulence when food is served. I find the staff on Emirates to be excellent as well. I only eat caviar on a plane. My behavior was low key. Not that animated. But I wasn’t filming for YT either.

[@iamprincesskiran]

Stay blessed always, Sahil

[@mauroissa]

Hi Sahil! I was absolutely thrilled to see you using our Arlo Skye Carry On! As a co-founder of the company, it's incredibly rewarding to see people enjoying our products. What are your thoughts on it so far?

[@Sahil_Bloom]

Absolutely love it Your co-founder sent me one and have loved it!

[@mauroissa]

@@Sahil_Bloom That's sick ! Yeah he told me, caught me by surprise. Been following for a while and had no idea! Keep the good work man. You are truly inspirational, not just at a business level but also as a person. keep it up man.

[@user-qw4qr9yx1v]

You editor does an amazing job🔥🔥🔥🔥- From a editor

[@Sahil_Bloom]

So thankful for my team!

[@JessBarber]

This is insane. When you can lie horizontal on a plane, game overrrrr!

[@Sahil_Bloom]

More comfortable than some of the beds I had in college!

[@yurtyybomb]

Slick editing on this video. Feel like it's a matter of time before one of your YT videos gets viral

[@Sahil_Bloom]

stay to the process!

[@dawnfmEnthusiast]

Sahil is goated for this one 🐐💯 can't get this sorta content via email newsletters that's for sure 😂

[@Sahil_Bloom]

Thanks for watching!

[@muhammadsiddiq7499]

Nice 👍🏻

[@dhawaljain3837]

Missed to meet you in Mumbai

[@Sahil_Bloom]

[@AwaisM]

What camera are you using

[@Sahil_Bloom]

DJI Osmo Pocket 3

[@AwaisM]

Thank you 🙏

[@Vedant_2605]

Damn!!

[@robo3456]

Where are your boots from?

[@Sahil_Bloom]

I think thursday boots

[@Yan-Keonslogs]

If I ever have to die in a plane crash I want to die in lounge mode xD

[@Sahil_Bloom]

lmao facts

[@aularje]

5:36 some rough turbulence?

[@Sahil_Bloom]

ya, surprising in an A380!

[@julianfungzx]

Honestly probably the best thing about this flight? It's on an Airbus, not a Boeing 🫠

[@midgetsanchez]

I’m sitting on a few million miles/points (business spend) and this video may have convinced me to book first class Emirates at some point 😅

[@Sahil_Bloom]

It's worth it, especially if you can do it for free. Lifelong memory.

[@hegiratc]

Im 6 ft 4 inch, and im flying first class with somebody. Im not doing economy again.

[@user-nc9vt9ku7g]

How did you manage to get on this flight? Sponsored by the Indians? 😊

[@colinstroud4525]

Sahill, I could get you this flight for 186,000 American Express points. Reaching out on LinkedIn to help with your next flight!

[@Sahil_Bloom]

that's pretty cool! never knew it was possible with points

[@presidentoxford]

Beyond thick.

[@Sahil_Bloom]

:)

[@halitosis75]

Ek first done to death with reviews. The food is lacklustre. Have flown 1st more than a dozen long haul sectors and the food always disappointing

[@Sahil_Bloom]

disagree on the food

[@drdanielcalvo]

Singapore suites... waaaay better!!

[@TheMasterT0104]

Nuh uh

[@johnrivera6951]

boeing

[@user-lz4nw9uf6w]

The "insane" amount of "insane" distracted from the content.

[@Sahil_Bloom]

[@TampaTodayRealEstate]

Insane. I hope you got a return flight.

[@cruisecrazy7066]
