Your dry sense of humour makes these videos all the more entertaining. Thanks Paul.

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Cheers Iain. Glad you tolerate my humour :D

[@JacobSchwarzott]

This video showed me a joy I'll never get to feel, flying first class

[@trojanalum2622]

Paul, about seven years ago I began traveling internationally for work - mostly Australia at the time. Your videos/tutorials were extremely helpful in getting my act together for international travel and thus avoided many headaches. I have passed on what I have learned from you to my new colleagues as we resume international travel. Thanks again mate, I'll see ya when I see ya and drinks on me!

[@ewilson9650]

The wood in the suite is just exquisite, coming from a guitar builder!

I watched the QANTAS First Class video first, and then this one. There was a greater difference, luxury-wise, than I imagined, with Emirates having the upper hand. I've never flown overseas, because of anxiety around flying (or, rather, suddenly *not* flying), and your videos have made me feel comfortable about even considering it. Thanks for posting, Paul - I've become a subscriber. I actually love planes, but the thought of being in the air for over twenty hours freaks me out a bit. It may be about sharing such a small space with so many people, but, in First, you don't have that feeling, because you get your own little cubby house. I'll have to save like mad, but who knows? Lovely editing, with the music, and notes on meals, etc. - most enjoyable to watch. And wow - I looked up the Hennessy, and it was listed in Dan Murphy's for $1,400.00. And that wasn't even the most expensive Cognac. Fortunately, I gave up drinking some years ago, but I may be tempted to try it.

[@KateVol]

SeekingMySelf try a Russian English speaking pilot and therapist Alex Gervash, he treats this anxiety brilliantly. I was at his course and I fly without any fears now. Good luck!

[@neetylovescake]

Your sense of humour is amazing 😉

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Glad to hear you find it funny :)

[@neetylovescake]

Paul Stewart love it, good old Australian humour is the best. Keep up your amazing videos 😊

Thanks Mate, I always enjoy your videos and reviews.

[@dave690]

I finish my post grad degree next year and so so tempted to do this as an end of uni treat

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Spoil yourself! It's often cheaper if you start the flight in CHC than in Sydney. Although the qantas first class lounge is better in Sydney, although it's the morning so I'm usually not that hungry early.

[@langkawiaviation]

Ah,the famous EK 414 flight.

[@lisaanderson8235]

Wow. I can't imagine a flight so luxurious. Also, hubba hubba in those pajamas! Lol You won't be single for long! (unless you want to be, which is totally cool)

Rory McNicol it makes sense in a way because, lets say the first class ticket is $10,000 and the drink is one tenth For a low cost airline a champagne would also cost a tenth of the ticket price right ;) Nah thats just my broken maths logic XD awesome reviews now days cant wait for more

I'm a huge fan of the A380 and the first time I boarded one back in 2011 from DXB-LHR flight reg A6-EDK it was love at first flight, I may have been in economy but it was a great flight overall it really is a fantastic aircraft. I was also lucky enough to fly on the Grandad of the EK A380, the very first A380 aircraft which is A6-EDA which was on the return leg LHR-DXB. Emirates really is a great airline and I cannot wait to fly them again hopefully in the near future.

It's an amazing product, but in a world where we should be cutting down on plastic, have you ever noticed how much plastic actually goes into these cabin's constructions. Still though, it wouldn't stop me from travelling on the upper deck of their A380 given a chance! :-) Great video.
