World’s Longest A380 Flight in First Class - Is It Worth It?

Last week, I flew on an Emirates A380 from Los Angeles to Dubai. Emirates has re-introduced the A380 back to LA. This is currently the longest A380 flight in the world. I was able to experience 16 hours of luxury in Emirates First Class. But is this First Class experience worth the extra price?
LAX Bradley Terminal was very busy at check-in. I visited the Duty-Free shop and the Emirates Lounge, which have both now re-opened. I also had a quick tour at the new LAX West Bradley terminal before my flight boarding. There is a tunnel that links it to the original Bradley Terminal. A lot of domestic flights are also using the new Bradley extension. There are good windows for plane spotting opportunities at the new extension.
The Emirates A380 took off very heavy out of LAX. Flight time was 15 hours 30 minutes, with almost the entire flight being in daylight as we travelled over the North Pole. Emirates has launched new Bvlgari amenity kits onboard and I was able to check out both the male and female versions. I enjoyed my flight in my private suite with private dining and rest. I also used the Emirates First Class Shower and Spa, to have a shower in the sky to refresh me before landing in Dubai.
At the end of my flight, I share some good tips on how to upgrade to First Class on Emirates. I also make my conclusion

@@richyket661 Memberships have been getting worse and worse in the past years. Harder to get points, harder to keep them and less to benefit from. Lounge access is one thing, upgrading or partially free flights require an enormous amount of flying. I fly quite a lot but only because my boss pays for it. Doing enough flying to earn basically anything is not for the common irregular flier. That's why I found the comment about lounge access a bit disconnected from the reality of > 90% of the flying public.

Great job as always Sam!! While most of my flying days are over now, I spent 30 years of my engineering career traveling about 300,000 airline miles per year. My family and I (American) lived in Singapore, Tokyo, and Shanghai -- for over 20 of those incredible years. And my wife loved Hong Kong. My Uncle Bill was an Air Force pilot, commercial airline captain, and I still vividly recall when I was 8 years old, he took me into the cockpit for a flight -- I was forever hooked -- just like you!! An education in aeronautical & aerospace engineering became the end result. Now, at the age of 67, I just watch every one of your videos, including lectures, and relax, enjoy all of the forever memories. KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK YOU DO...

We fly every year (Covid excepting) London to Sydney and stay about a month in our flat out there. For many years, my wife and I flew economy but, as we got older, we could no longer live with the economy seats (not food, not toilets, just the seats). So, we began to fly business class; usually Emirates but also Etihad and, once, China Southern (Usually A380 but, once because I flew via Perth, Boeing). We were upgraded by Emirates on one leg to First Class. A few personal observations: If you can afford it, Business Class is well worth it. Just for the seats which should be fully flat. Food is great, TV entertainment is fine. The individual seats are quite private. First class. We got the same kind of seat but in a cubicle the same size as BC but with a sliding door. Food the same but you can choose the times. TV is bigger; you can have a shower on board if you want. Frankly, we wouldn’t pay to go FC. The extra cost isn’t justified for us. The last time - before Covid - our agent came back with the cost for Emirates - it had gone up an awful lot. So we said, if Emirates/Etihad/Singapore are top of the Premier League, who are still Premier League but lower down. He came back with a couple of choices and we selected China Southern Airlines. Saved £1500? Again, our thoughts - no chauffeur collection and delivery both ends. With the money we saved, we could easily organise private taxis - lounges. Not bad - say 90% of Emirates - but certainly no complaints - seats - as per Emirates/Etihad etc. - food - Excellent. More Chinese dishes, but Emirates/Etihad obviously have Arabian dishes on offer - service - perhaps better than Emirates Lessons for us. BC is all we need; don’t think that you have to fly Emirates/Etihad/ Singapore etc. to get what we need. Back in the EC days, we flew BA and Qantas several times. It pains me to say but those flights were the worst that we ever had. We’ve never even considered those two again. Does being a national carrier encourage complacency?

First time watching one of your videos Mr Chui, I enjoyed it! All aspects covered, and like that you took the time to establish good rapport with all the staff; easier when its one-to-one attention all the time but even still, you could’ve kept it strictly business. First Class does look nice. Personally my primary need is to be able to lie flat and I can do that in Business. For me the rest is just window dressing and not worth the (significant) extra cost.

Having been to that particular emirates lounge on several occasions(as a non emirates traveling passenger) I can make the following observations. The staff were all fabulous and super polite on every visit. The buffet food and dessert was wonderful and extremely tasty with many great options. The seating was nice and comfortable with lots of charging points. Drinks area is self serve whereas Qantas business lounge (LAX) has a full service order your choice of beverage bar. If I was a first class passenger on emirates you wound have to say the lounge was not going to give you a comparable experience. From all the business lounges I have visited the only thing it is lacking in is a proper bar.

The seat itself is fine - the only thing I don’t like is the somewhat claustrophobic feeling of the curvature of the A380 fuselage along the windows (2K is my go-to seat). The center ones feel more spacious, but, of course, you are sitting next to someone (with a big barrier though).

@tech9803 Thanks for the info. I too was wondering what that large embankment/earth berm was right on the edge of the runway touching the beach. I thought those roads were walking trails of some park. Bet that is a high security perimeter with guarded look out towers.
