I recently upgraded myself from economy to business on my trip back from London to Auckland (for just the 2nd leg), and I’m so glad I did. The best 15 hours I’ve spent on a airplane ever, and a very good bookend to a wonderful trip away :)

[@Lineup18]

How much did you pay for the upgrade and what was your original fare?(Economy Basic/Economy Flex etc.)

[@Virginialovesyouu]

Same. Hong Kong to London. I’m glad I did

[@johnbarlow1428]

Good call!

[@buzzfunk]

How?

[@rockwithyou2006]

how much did you pay ?

[@davidperry3257]

You are absolutely right about consistency! It’s vitally important that whenever I fly in a premium cabin and it’s my money paying for it, I want a consistent experience and a consistent hard product.

[@wathog01]

Emirates has a specific place in my heart. I was a visiting researcher in Lisbon back in early 2020 when the pandemic broke out, and Emirates was the last airline that still operated flights in March and it carried me back home safely. Had I not booked Emirates, my flight would be cancelled long before and I would be stranded with an expired visa and would have a hard time to find somewhere to stay during lockdown. In a sense, Emirates saved my life back then and judging from the fully booked flight, I assume a lot of other people as well. And even on that flight, service was not compromised in the slightest. This warrants my loyalty with Emirates on any international travels. I'm going back to Lisbon next year and I'm saving up points for business class this time. Cheers, thanks for the review!

[@tjegan1417]

Wow, you checked in at desk 38 for flight380 to HKG on a A380!

[@julianfp1952]

I have a sort of similar experience, not quite Dans trifecta but memorable enough to me that I took a photo of it that I still have. In March 2020 I decided to bring forward my Emirates return flight from Cape Town back to London because South Africa was about to lock down due to the Covid-19 pandemic (the UK was also about to lock down but I wanted to be at home for lockdown not stuck in a foreign country). I got to Dubai and changed planes for my connecting flight to LHR and was very amused to see that the gate I was departing from was gate C19!

I have been flying Emirates Business from Australia to Europe for 22 years and definitely have no thought of changing from them. Always choose the A380 when available. Occasionally have chance to upgrade to first class on a sector for a small extra payment. They are the best.

[@betelgeuse111]

I'd never have ever thought of flying Emirates as I used to be loyal to Qantas. Then one day my Qantas Business class Sydney to London ended up being on an Emirates flight and that was my first experience ever with Emirates. They are 1000% better than Qantas in every possible way. The service is above and beyond, the feeling of the flight from the moment you enter the airport is first class. I'll never fly anyone else ever again unless I absolutely have to. I'm now 100% an Emirates loyal returning customer. Oh and Dubai Business lounge is to die for, my favourite part of a long haul is that stop in Dubai!!!

[@irishwolfhoundsofthesouthw7890]

As a fellow Aussie, I gave up QF years ago. Their product just isn't nearly as good.

[@akshatbhandari4779]

21 years flying and even being platinum, not a single upgrade with qantas whereas more than 10 times upgraded with emirates. Even me and partner upgraded in same flight. That's just being gold.

As a fellow Aussie ive given up on Qantas. Im a Emirates girl. We travel to Europe in BC on average every 18 months. Eithad and sometimes Qatar are sometimes cheaper but i stick with Emirates. Cant wait for our flight next July. Get on A380 i feel like my holiday has begun. The only thing i cant work out is which concourse the big lounge is in. Only ended up there 3 times. Every other time its one of their smaller lounges.

[@greenho4]

Got a free business class upgrade last month flying to NYC from Dubai - I don’t think I’ve had a more incredible 14 hours on a plane in my life - my reaction was just about what you could expect, absolutely game-changing per your words

[@PcarNess]

How exactly does someone get a free upgrade? Just ask if there is availability?

I totally share your view. It is simply divine. I was randomly upgraded on my first emirates flight and i kept repeating "OMG" in my mind the entire duration of the flight. The way they handle it is so smooth, that i was literally all relaxed just 5 minutes after boarding (The drinks and hot towels, and all gifts definitely help). After that i literally forgot i was on the plane for most of the time.... I unboarded almost totally regenerated. Unforgettable!

[@flyoverfredusa]

love how much of an avgeek you are, talking about the new livery is A+

[@michaelwebsternz]

I have so many pairs of Emirates First Class PJ's (and the cool kits they provide too). I use them all the time and my entire family use them as well. It's really interesting that long Business Class flights now get them as well. I'm looking forward to the end of this year when all 7 of us are flying to Dubai in Business and hopefully we get the PJ's too. AKL to DXB is 17 hours, so we should. Love the on board Emirates service. It really is amazing.

[@naomimorse6455]

I’ve been flying with emirates for years and have experienced every class of service. Unlike other airlines ,Emirates makes flying fun. That X factor you mention ? It’s the hospitality -something that emirates shares with its passengers no matter the class of service. Love your videos and can’t wait to see what’s next !

[@NonstopDan]

Thanks so much Naomi!

[@Ya3ayn]

That drink!! I boarded an A380 last month in premium economy & oh my ... when I saw that lemon Mint drink coming my way, I instantly thought of you Dan & chose that drink simply because you love it. Guess what? I loved it too. It's so incredibly delicious 😋 😍

[@ZHUHAI100]

Agreed- consistency of product across the fleet is the right direction -

[@matteandrews3994]

You raise a very good point Dan and one that has stopped me from straying from Emirates! We have wanted to try Qatar a few times, but the idea that you don’t know what plane, seat or configuration on any of the flights has always put me off. With Emirates Business / First Class, I know it’s always going to be good - and it’s never let us down. It’s a great thing that they’ve upgraded or will upgrade the 777; don’t understand what the hate is about, the business seat on the a380 is ridiculously comfortable and has a good deal of privacy, so not sure what Anyone else would want.

[@digitaltait]

I love Emirates. Always a treat to fly with them ❤

[@dgurmani]

Emirates has fancy products like Bvlgari and Voya on board. The lounge for Emirates is neat in terms of food and a shoe shine. Though the washroom in Emirates sucks the showers and toilets felt like you were showering in a YMCA compared to Qatar. Qatar has multiple lounge for various status members, so it doesn't get crowded. I really like the lounge in Doha. The whole esthetics and art are really elegant. I do feel like Emirates catering in some instances is better than QR, though QR dine on demand is neat. Though being able to fly A380 more often is plus point on EK than QR.

[@j134679]

QR has way too many bus gates. Nothing will compensate for having to use a bus gate in the middle east, especially in summer.

[@dgurmani]

@@j134679 QR has separate bus for premium passengers. As aviation geek I don't mind boarding via stairs.

[@carried7223]

I have never flown Emirates business/first class but it is another thing to achieve on my wish list someday .. i have to say all the food looked grey and unappetizing so total shock, Love the A380 on most airlines so lush and all that 20's glamour of the polished wood looks amazing , Thanks for another great honest review 🙂

[@NonstopDan]

Thank you so much! Hope you get to try Emirates one day!

[@EddieManning]

Business class on any widebody should never be anything other than 1-2-1 configurarion. Any airline that offers biz 2-2-2 or 2-3-2 is a scam.

[@timstone84]

💯💯💯

[@CJ.1998X.Y.Z]

Mostly agree but there are exceptions. Ie: Philippine airlines who have 2/2/2. However their business class is half the cost of many others

[@user-wn2ho5ij5f]

Not necessarily, there’s no definition for “business class”, the product should just match the cost. It’s like saying “a burger shouldn’t be anything other than wagyu beef”, what if it’s a $10 burger? If they’re charging premium price, expect a premium product. There are plenty of airlines that sell a budget business class and you can’t expect premium on a budget

[@vehiverycool]

Only acceptable 2-2-2 should be what Gulf Air offers

[@EricPetersen2922]

I’m moving to Dubai next week. Will be traveling so much more than from LA Ca. Thx Dan-always love your videos

[@aadrjdjjsjddjjdd]

Your opinion is completely valid! Emirates is THE Rolex of airlines. You think luxury airline, you think emirates first🤷

[@Ps5prolite]

[@anna-marianunezvega1520]

Yeah, but it depends on the aircraft you are on. The old 777 seats are really not great

[@bosansekali898]

Singapore Airlines is where it's at. Often overpriced, but better than Emirates IMO

[@johnbarlow1428]

I’m afraid to admit it, it is. Never been disappointed.

[@nimrudrakumaran3405]

I have to agree with Oskar, there is a different feeling being on an Emirates Airline flight, a happy feeling! I had the same feeling when I was on board last month.

[@joannajohnson8749]

“Pretending to be an extrovert” 😂 I can so relate!

[@pleiadesneptunes]

for me the best was always Singapore, with Emirates and Qatar a close second…. but for most of my flights, I need to be practical, and they are off the beaten track for the North Atlantic. Always hated Emirates lounge - try it at night, like Grand Central Station during, you guessed it, rush hour. If I could take the 380 to the supermarket, I would. Great vid, as always!!

[@ananth-srini]

I’d agree. I pick Qatar over Singapore because I’m in the U.S. and fly to India and have a trained service dog. Qatar’s QSuites are miles ahead of the Emirates business class in my opinion. Emirates looks flashy but in a gaudy way whereas Qatar’s QSuites is way more private and minimal.

[@jeffreybacot]

Great points, consistency, class and luxury. These beat out the airlines who add flashy new things to some of their planes. When you book a flight and expect a certain product it is nice to know you will get it and that is what Emirates delivers. Q-suites are very nice but so many people have to rebook or just take subpar seats when the get "Qtared".

[@ilyiza1]

You are correct about us loving the seat maps!!

[@veo16]

For anyone doing emirates this season. The best show on the entertainment system right now is Mars Express. A french cyberpunk detective anime. A little crime, mystery and a whole lot of future tech.

[@_Tripsandtips101]

One of the perks I appreciate about Emirates Business that I don't get on Qatar is complementary chauffeur service (except on the cheapest fares). It saves me money to get to/from airports. And with 40 passengers to service and one of the cheaper business class products out there, you've got to wonder how they could afford it.

[@j134679]

the Emirate of Dubai has lots more going for it than the state of Qatar. Even within the realm of contract workers who get deported after losing their jobs, Dubai is like the London/New York of that industry. The Las Vegas of Saudi youth, even. ie, people actually go to/from Dubai. So the routes have real demand over just connections. Which means cargo as well.

[@gordocoop]

It made my day to see you so happy. I'm glad you got to experience it.

[@baxairsoft1731]

I love the Emirates Boarding Music, it so good. But to anwser your question. Some airlines have a beter A-game than Emirates, but their B-game often sucks (like getting Qatared and flying one of those crappy seats). Emirates offers a good product overall and is very consistent. Also their ground services are much more consistent than others. They have Emirates only lounges on many airports, while other airlines only have that on their home airport. I love Emirates, and would gladly book Emirates Business Class over many many airlines.

[@thesilk1954]

Nice meeting you in Bali. Great Video. So proud of you for coming out :)

[@chetannarula]

Great video... but the A380 you flew seems to have the old business class seats. Not the updated white seats (as shown in the pic you referred to for B777s upgrade). They are slowly rolling it out across their A380 line. Quick way to tell is if the A380 has a premium economy cabin (when taking up the stairs), then it has the updated white business class seats.

[@btnbiker]

I use that lounge a lot and I have never seen it that empty, it's one of the things I hate about Emirates. Looking forward to seeing how it compares with the Turkish lounge when I use them for the first time in April for one of my regular London to Auckland trips

[@johngalt6708]

I agree Emirates is very good. But! If you remove price from the equation, I'd say my favourite airlines for long haul are 1. Qatar (Q Suite) 2. Emirates 3. Etihad. However, the pricing for routes like London to Manila or Bangkok varies massively, so in reality my actually booked order is 1. Etihad 2. Emirates 3. Qatar.

[@timstone84]

Etihad usually much better pricing and 1 2 1

[@nisahazaldilek9006]

Hi Dan, it is very useful content. I wonder that there is just one size for slippers? Regards.

[@suanchim4147]

Your comment on progressively changing your mind on Middle Eastern airlines is interesting. I live in Southeast Asia and to fly to Europe, we have a choice of Asian, European and Middle Eastern carriers. The Middle Eastern airlines usually have very attractive fares but my experience has been a mixed bag. The flights from Asia are usually red eyes, and it doesn't help that you have to transit around 7 hours into your flight, just when you're settled in and ready to nap. You land in the Middle East around 2am, sometimes without an aerobridge, and spend half an hour or more in a bus. Then you have to navigate a huge airport, where staff can be brusque, unhelpful, cold or just plain unhappy. You finally get on the plane again, where food and service may be good, but the transit experience leaves you totally drained. And then you wonder if you should have just paid a bit more for the non-stop (or even one-stop) options on Asian and European carriers.

[@j134679]

Emirates is definitely an outlier in the region for having enough gates for their flights. But yes, if your options allow using Swiss, Air France, or any of the major Asian airlines, it really doesn't matter much. I just sort by trip duration on google flights & then check the airline website for seat availabilty.

[@madilily]

I'm going to be heading properly overseas from Australia later next year, I plan to splurge for business class, this just cemented my choice to fly Emirates. Especially as I am a nervous flyer!! xx

[@NonstopDan]

Amazing! I hope you have the best time 🙏

[@teashii]

Great video once again! Love seeing this type of content. Im wondering when Dan is going to be reviewing airBaltic, as it can be commonly found in Europe!

[@existingcard]

Their marketing is quite impressive, which caught my attention. As an inexperienced traveler, I was unaware that, as a Business Class passenger, I could have used their lounge; unfortunately, I was not informed about it. Additionally, they did not provide a mattress for me. I had to speak with three attendants, but none were able to assist me. After raising my concerns with customer service, I received 200,000 miles as compensation. Overall, this experience has made me less favorable toward the airline.

We were going to fly out of ADL on the 777-200LR but now flying from MEL on the A380 for exactly the reason you pointed out. 2-2-2 as opposed to the 1-2-1 layout on the A380, and an Emirates lounge at MEL and of course the inflight bar. SQ has absolute rubbish seating in comparison and won’t fly them unless the issue of hard seats and awkward sleeping position is addressed.

[@Sonny.E]

Nice video. These seats are much more comfortable than the 777 business class. So it would be really nice if they replaced that in the 777

[@airbus7373]

They are doing that right now, and adding premium economy and game changer suites to more of their 777’s. Hoping for that entire fleet to be retrofitted

[@swissfoodie3542]

Hi Dan, I have not watched your videos for a while, for no reason really. But after starting to watch this video, I realise that I have really missed watching your great channel. I am a huge fan of Emirates, and business class in the 380s. And I love to board from the lounge in Dubai. That is so nice, to be able to enter an elevator straight from the business class lounge, and board the plane from there. This February, I flew with Qatar Airways from Zürich via Qatar to Bankgok and back, in business class. And I have to say, that I was a bit dissapointed. Maybe I expected too much. It was not an unpleasant flight, but it was not as great as I thought it might be. I will always prefer flying EK, CX, SQ and maybe even BA and LX, over QR.

[@swissfoodie3542]

Last year, I got to enjoy the first and probably only First Class flights in my life. Zürich to Johannesburg and back, with Swiss. It was a great deal, as we actually paid less than for business class with EK for example. We just had to fly from Stockholm, which was cool for us, and have a 24 hours stopover in Zürich, which was also fine. I enjoyed it a lot, for me as a flight freek, it was a great experience. I especially enjoyed the lounge in Zürich. Onboard, the experience was really good. But I would never pay the regular price to fly First Class.

Dan if you ever get a chance, I was able to fly in business on a small french airline this past june. Its called Corsair and despite being in their older cabin on the A330-300, the flight from Paris to Montreal was extraordinary for the seemingly budget price. The soft product was terrific and smaller items like slippers and glass cups instead of plastic were great additions. This airline doesn't get very much attention and I think it would make a great video. Thanks!

[@julianfp1952]

I'm so glad to hear that Emirates is getting rid of that 2-3-2 configuration on the 777s. Truly worst in class and the reason I stopped flying Emirates because on the route I took most frequently the LHR-DBX flight was fine (A380) but the onward (longer) connecting flight on a 777 just killed it for me. The key now, at least for me, will be how quickly Emirates rolls this out to the entire 777 fleet because until it does isn't it going to be similar to the Qatar experience, never quite knowing for sure if you'll get the seat type you booked or be unlucky and get a plane change to a 777 that hasn't had the business class upgrade yet? I guess I need to go off and do some research about what timescale to roll out the upgrades Emirates has announced.

[@yegoryefimchyk8262]

Dan, I just realized you still don't have any video about Polish Airlines LOT. In case, u have a plan to do such a review, would be great, before you do long-haul from Warsaw with the 787, to fly from Amsterdam to Warsaw on E195-E2 with their extended service.

[@R3LiC77]

I flew the A380 Business from Melbourne to London and it was great. Coming home however I opted for a cheaper route and made the disastrous mistake of flying via Singapore on the 777 economy from Dubai. The A380 return economy (to Dubai) had good seats, adequate leg room for someone 6ft and under, charging ports and a full entertainment package. The 777 however is horrendous and uncomfortable, smaller seats, less leg room, less entertainment choices. The business class still had the 2-3-2 lay out and I was glad after seeing it that I was unable to upgrade using miles for that product. It just doesn't hold a candle to the A380 configuration. I was lucky that I checked and changed my seat before my return flight. Fortunately the flight wasn't full, so from Singapore back to Melbourne I had a full row of 4 seats and I was able to lay down to sleep. I cannot fault any of the cabin crew on any of my flights, they were all fantastic.

I recently flew their B777-300 Business Class from DXB to ORD, which had a 2-3-2 configuration. Although their seats were comfortable, I found it annoying that I had to jump over the person next to me to go to the lavatory. Speaking of the pajamas. I was flying First Class (upgraded using points) from KWI to DXB. I was given a set of pajamas and slippers, even though it was a two hour flight. Emirates has the best slippers and pajamas of any airline I have flown.

We flew back from Thailand to the UK in October in business class and loved it. Previously flying in Emitrates economy class, we wouldnt book economy class again...if we could afford it 😂😂 Unfortunately we couldn't use the lounge as we upgraded our flight. However, we have flown in premium economy from Dubai to Singapore and could definitely be would suggest it if you were looking for luxury at a cheaper price.

[@Abcdexf]

In the last few years I had to fly more and more long haul routes and for some time I also chose primarily Middle Eastern airlines because of their superior service e.g. food, friendliness, modernity and cleanliness, but recently I have changed my mind. While all the mentioned things are great I just really started to despise the long transit times. Let’s say you fly to Beijing from BER and you have a transit in DOH. Including a 4 hour transit you take around 17 hours, a direct route is 9 hours with Hainan Air and a code share between Lufthansa and Air China with a stop in FRA is 11 hours. I just don‘t see the point with flying any Middle Eastern airline anymore as it is just more exhausting and at least for me flying is not the destination. Of course I know BER to Beijing is quite an extreme case of this example I did that route among others such BER DOH ICN. It is less extreme on routes to SEA but I think in general not enough to justify the detour through the gulf.

10:14 wow that’s amazing. I thought the Pjs were only on flights over 9 hours. Did you receive them on any other flight from Dubai to Europe post this flight? Curious because I am planning to fly EK to London

i wish you had the updated version of the a380, the color scheme is beautiful, the seats are much more comfortable and the cabin feels, much more spacious
