Avoid this HUGE Emirates Business Class MISTAKE!

Did you know that Emirates business class flights are NOT all the same, even on the same route? And if you book the wrong type of flight, you’ll be paying the same high fare, but you’ll get a far inferior experience. So if you want to avoid this mistake, and learn lots of other tips on how to make the most of your Emirates business class experience, check out this video. We flew from JFK to Dubai on the A380, and from Dubai to Nairobi on the 777. And did the same thing on the way back.

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.

the fact that you worry about someone not picking up your bags. Only takes you a second and any way your kids are basically living like trust fund baby's maybe they should work hard for once

Agreed. I would expect a driver to place the bags in the trunk. Especially if he/she is driving a high-end car.

I have listened to so many travel reviews over the years but have to say this is my fav so far. Everything was clear and said with a great sense of humour....and yeah..it IS GOOD to finally get to take off that bra!! :-) haha - in all the years of travelling and listening to reviews you are the only flight reviewers that I have subscribed to!

[@ChiefIntel]

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.

[@arcticavon1]

If it was me, I would politely ask them to lift my luggage, just because I stand 4'11, have back issues and def would be hard for me to lift my suitcases. I think this is how some Business class goers act. 😶

[@Dsgabi456]

Exactly !!!

[@fathimashares]

Finally someone i agree with! Its sooo unfair to point out something for what's not thier job to do. Its more of a courtesy thing, if you want help, request it! And some drivers are just very sweet they just go out of their way to help and people are too privileged to notice it!

[@thetoxicbunny2754]

Bro stop hating it's A review

[@princessriyah4822]

I mean it should be apart of the services if the driver can’t lift things this needs to be sent out before the fever arrives some type of communication so that there won’t be that expectation

I loved this review not just because of your honesty but also because I love that you travel with your kids and you give them the best. I watched this because I'm thinking of buying business class seats on Emirates from JFK to Athens with my teens this summer. 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!

Great video. One thing to note is that your airline might change the type of aircraft after you book (before the scheduled flight). Therefore, it would be best to find the most optimal seating that would work regardless of aircraft.

[@richardwilson5913]

I have flown Emirates a few times in Business class, both 777 and A380. So I thought why bother watching your video? But I love how you film and also how you speak so clearly and easily to convey your message. I have no idea what your career or background is but you could definitely work in TV or radio in communications or voice-overs!

[@Peringrid]

Yes, the 2-3-2 configuration is the reason we changed to Qatar airlines having a 1-2-1 seating.

[@j134679]

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.

Good stuff, and definitely worth paying attention to the plane layout. One thing to consider about "lemonade" is that it means different things in different countries. In Australia, it is a carbonated soda very much like Sprite or 7Up.

[@AlmostMonumental27]

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!

[@meloveblkgirlmagic1179]

Great review. I just flew from SFO to Dubai on a 777 business class. 12-8-21 to 12-19-21. I didn’t think I have an option for the A380. 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. I just flown JAL busines last week from SFO to BKK and their 777 had their own pathway so you are not bothering any other passengers.

[@karenhobbs2228]

Thank you. I have been wondering about the window seats on the 777-300 as I am a short solo traveller and all the reviews I’ve seen haven’t clearly shown how easy it is to get to the aisle from the window seat. Thankfully only one 7-8 hr sector with 777. All others are A380.

[@geoffreyschultz8515]

Enjoyed very much this video - your family is lovely and so lucky to have such great travels together! Completely agree with regards to your point about aircraft type. EK 777 is one of the worst Business class experiences anywhere, and I’ve done it a few times (once even paying a huge additional amount at the airport just to move to First as I couldn’t consider the long flight from Bali to Dubai in the back row of a 777 business cabin. A380 is a totally different story, although my first business on the A380 had me in the “window” seat that was staggered close to the aisle and actually didn’t have a window (one of the rows with a missing window). So even row number, you have to be careful about. Since you went into considerable detail about picking seats, this could be something you add. Thanks again for a great channel that I’m probably going to spend way to much time on!
