In other words, he acted just like most normal people would. Just giddy and goofy- I loved it.

He paid $400 ON TOP of the amount he had to spend in order to accrue enough frequent flier miles to pay for this flight. Lord only knows how much that was. I wish he would have given us a rough estimate on how much he spent and how long it took him to save up enough frequent flier miles.

I honestly never watch these "ultra luxury lifestyle" videos on KZbin because they just don't interest me/seem like KZbinrs showing off for the sake of it, but my one caveat is personal luxury first-class experiences on long flights. I can almost feel the comfort through the screen, and also the desire to try and use everything you've been provided in your own little room within the duration of your flight (and take the rest with you of course). Great video man.

When I was a broke student living on a different continent than the rest of my family, a family member gifted me a business class ticket to fly to see them thanks to frequent flyer miles. I was DELIGHTED by littlest things like being served warm bread with my meal and ice cream for dessert 🤣 I stayed awake the whole flight because I was so excited lol.

I use to do a lot of travel for work all over the world and would get bump up on flights in the stats cause of my frequent flyer status. When my mom got real sick and we thought she might pass, I flew my sister into town (I was in Singapore and had to fly back to Houston). I made sure she had 1st class all the way cause she's never flown before. Use my Frequent Flyer miles to get here there and the best treatment. My boss made sure I got a business class ticket on the way back too. While mom didn't pass at that time, she did several months later, but it was good to be there just incase along with the rest of the family at that time.

@@likeorasgod - agree, it happens very often that they will change your status to a better one. If you lucky you can also track mistakes that airlines are sometimes making, and get the Business Class ticket for the price of Economy Class. Also, at some point the flight attendants can come to you and congratulate you on the long high level status (5 or 10 years) and they will chat to you a bit about it (example being BA Gold Member). Granted, all amenities have been getting worse in the last 10 years. The bags are way smaller, quality is different and so on. Not that it matter as after a while you may have a whole wardrobe at home full of them, from different airlines (hence it is easy to compare them from different time periods). This is also applicable to the Hotels, as very often they do the same if you are staying there often (in specific chains). They will uprgade your status quite easily, and you get amazing rooms.

And being poor in a country is a pox on the governance, not the rich people (unless the rich people ARE the government).

The biz lounge was great, even had a shower which was so refreshing during my hour layover in Dubai. The food, drinks, service is unmatched. These people really make you feel special. Then on the flight, the menu, the snacks, the bar in the back, ridiculously good.

Really liked how natural and humble this guy is, it was great seeing this first class experience from a very refreshing standpoint. Just a couple of things that would have made this the perfect first experience that a few subscribers have mentioned. It would have been good to have got the true feel of the lounge by visiting more restaurants, the spa and bars. This would have been true of the first cabin itself. It would have been wonderful to have seen the showers and other facilities rather than just the cabin. A huge minus for most who enjoy first travel without paying full ticket prices are the choice of champagnes, wines and spirits airlines offer. There was not one mention of the choices available. I’m assuming this traveller was a tea totaler, which is an admirable choice, however, if you are making an extensive commentary on the amazing food that Emerates offers, it’s a huge disservice both to the Airline and future traveller, not to even make mention of what choices are available.

I have been obsessed with going to Dubai and flying Emerites First Class. I’m not well and have just given up. You my good man just gave me something to live for. Last December while in Our hotel in Orlando, we were in the hotel’s restaurant when the Dubai flight attendants and flight crew were checking out. It was Ironic as Dubai and Emerites was all I had been talking about that particular week. Three of the flight attendants were kind enough to take a picture with me. I believed that that picture was as close to an Emerites flight that I would get. After seeing your journey, you bet that I’m going to fight back. Now I hope to make that dream of flying 1st Class on Emerites a reality. Thank you for sharing you incredible experience.

Also the long-wheelbase limo pickup and drop-off. There are also a couple of other perks when you hit Platinum status with Emirates that they don’t advertise 😊. Overall, it’s definitely with best airline experience in the world in my experience and the closest to flying private.

My wife and I flew first class on Emirates from Ankara to NYC, and while our flight left at 10am, we got to the airport at 6am, just to enjoy the lounges and shops. Absolutely posh. 👌 The flight itself was in a private 2 person cabin with everything you can imagine, even a shower, sauna, and lounge *on the plane.* Then once we landed, we got to enjoy the Emirates NYC lounge during a 7 hour layover, then flew Delta first class back home to Knoxville. Man, Delta was a letdown, what a drop in quality. 😆😉 Seriously though, Delta only wanted to get us drunk to make us fall asleep, offering us drinks constantly, like drug pushers. The people all around us got ripped, then just passed out.

Emirates, for all classes, are of a much higher standard than any American airline. I’m an American expat, living in Singapore, who travels every 90 days or so. My favorite airline in Asia is Singapore Airlines. Their economy class is equal to American Airlines business class. For traveling West, I usually take either Qatar or Emirates because the quality is so high.

I’ve traveled probably 18 or 20 times between the USA & Asia, Europe & Calif. & some other more local type trips. In my younger early 20’s, travel, budget was a deciding pressure. But after 50, it was all business & First-class travel only. What a difference. I tell people one of the biggest advantages is travel is so much more comfortable it eliminates jet lag, & travel exhaustion. Being able to stretch out totally horizontal & actually sleep is so nice. Except I don’t usually want to sleep and miss the experience lol. The downside is, I cannot fly coach or economy again, EVER, unless I have to, of course, LoL 😂.

A wonderful British Airways flight attendant named Toshiba helped me navigate my way around Heathrow, the Tube, and finding inexpensive accomodation for the week. Once I obtained my new visa about a week later it was Toshiba again who assisted me at Heathrow. She assisted by upgrading me to 1st class for my flight from London to Riyadh.

I really liked this video. You'd make for a good travel buddie. It's nice to see someone appreciate the exerience. Once I was flying in first on EVA, I think< from Asia to the US and I told myself I wasn't going to consume too much in the lounge to save room for the inflight food. But the lounge food was so good I was already full before boarding the flight. I missed out on some of the most delicious food on the plane. So stuffed I could barely walk by the time the main course(s) came around.

Whats funny is this trip was such a special experience for you, and many of us who have just travelled coach their entire lives, but there is an entire class of people who take this caliber of flights on a daily basis and dont think twice about it. How many Emirates branded pen and notebook sets can someone have, after a while im sure you just leave all that crap there and dont really get the full bang for your buck like you are doing for this video. Anyways, awesome to see - thanks for sharing and letting us live vicariously though you.

My cousin flies emirates a lot and take his own sandwiches as he only likes certain food and finds the food too rich and doesn’t like salads when travelling ! .He eats their snacks though ! It’s human nature to get used to something and not enjoy it anymore as it becomes the ‘norm’ . So that’s why people always want new things, eg the latest phone , handbag etc and the very rich get bored easily and constantly want something different imo

I've flown many time nearly always economy.

Cabin crew respect economy far more than other class because of this.

On the left and right sides of the plane are single cabins but down the middle are 2 cabins next to each other and if you are with someone and they have the cabin seat next to you you can leave the cabin door open between the 2 seats and it's like you're sharing 1 big cabin. I only know this from seeing it in videos and also the movie "Sex and the City 2" where they fly Emirates to Dubai in the movie lol.. that's actually how I came to know that these types of flights even existed..

Yes, there are cabins for 2. I was surprised by the comment in the video, which you reiterated, about feeling weird ringing the flight attendant. Why is that? xD There are restaurants and shisha places in Dubai that come with a button fixed on your table. It's very normal here, and beats having to look around for a waiter/flight attendant, raising your hand and hoping they would see you.
