This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!
#emirates #businessclass #tripreport
man ur videos are the best, you are so underated keep up the great work and you will be on the top one day
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Always blows my mind how smooth and quiet these birds are given the size! Almost no change in sound from taxi to spool up and take off. Looking forward to my SQ flight in A380 from SIN-LHR this summer
Yes, almost unnervingly so lol
A380 is the quietest jet in the sky and by far the most comfortable with its bigger economy seats
Thanks for watching 🩴
wake up early morning, find your flight report on youtube and I simply play it and enjoy your experience 🎉
We wake up at the same time 😅
14:25: Love the thunder during take-off
Ironically I didn't even notice it while on board hah.
Great content as always. But we’re only fully entertained when Kevin gets annoyed and disgruntled- that’s gold
😅
Oh, well buckle up for this Thursday.
great video as always Kevin man.
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
When I flew on the A380 Business Class last time, I made it a point to board on the main deck and make my way up the staircase rather than board from the upper deck gangway. Felt REALLY GOOD climbing those steps. My seat was a window seat 23A with the mini bar next to the aisle. It was a very enclosed and private seat. I returned on 24G. No privacy from the aisle, but definitely a good seat. THE PROBLEM with Emirates however is you can't guarantee your seating - especially if flying with a partner. You don't know if you'll be able to get seats together at all. The WORST SEATS are the ones near the galley. You'll want at least 1 to 2 rows between you and the galley/bar areas because they get quite busy.
Thanks for sharing ✈️
Amazing my favourite airline. Love your videos so much Kevin!
Thanks for watching 🩴
great video as always, thank you
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Cool video again Kevin love reading the comments,,,,,,peace and happiness on your travels 😊😊😊😊
As do I haha
Love the video as always. Miss the old intro with the "...Welcome to X" *cue music*
These 'in the middle of it' openings help viewership which in the end means more videos, but yes- I understand and still use the same format on my hotel videos.
Thanks for all your hard work Kevin! I've never been on a A380. Hope to do it at some point in the future.
Thanks for watching 🩴
Love this "whale bird " and have been lucky enough to fly in BC out to NZ. to get off that plane after a solid nights sleep was bliss.Agree with you on how quiet it is on take off and landing cosidering the tonnage that its carrying.The service from the crew on all journeys was on point as was the food. Those warm nuts with the champagne and the mezza plate was delicious.All wines I sampled were superb.The only disappointment for me was the BC lounge in DXB - massively busy - in hindsight maybe i was unlucky but if those big birds come in all at similar times....the result is massive lines at the restos which I didn't expect. Will continue flying Emirates as Im racking up points but when i flew SingAir to South East Asia earlier year they were pretty impressive too.Just discovered your channel...Im in scrolling mode . Happy Travels KCC
I fully agree about the lounge in Dubai- which I'll talk about in my Saturday video. A huge meandering (smoky) disappointment.
Great Job Mate, Well Done...
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Nice video as always Kevin! I did the same flight in Business Class but the other way around😅
A perfect little hop!
At the end of 2021 I traveled with A380 from Dubai to Amman an afternoon flight. My seat was economy next to the emergency gate. 14:25 looks like Amman was having a chance of Thunderstorms that day.
Thanks for watching 🩴
Great video Kevin! Emirates a380 business class is my choice of business class in the Middle East and fly it a couple times a month, quality! Interesting you said Emirates has the biggest entertainment system, I would say Cathay does with just about every movie and tv show imaginable plus Disney+!
Last time I flew CX I found their movie selection pretty weak, perhaps they've more recently expanded it. Thanks for watching 🩴
@@tfftThat was probably because in your video’s you flew on their regional planes but on their a350 and 777 it is so much better as it is for long-haul!
I flew from Melbourne to Dublin and return in the last 2 weeks in business class. Got to experience the new and old A380 and the 777. Overall a380 was a nice product I did have a 30h delay due to the storms and Emirates did let its customers down with communications
I flew out (of AUH) during the storms as well. One flight which I definitely do not remember fondly. Turbulance was so bad that I thought we landed on two occasions.
Amazing flight report, Amman is my town 🇯🇴
Beautiful town!
My experiences of the A380 were both in BA business class, which has a 2 4 2 layout, and it was lower level. Nothing to write home about. Your description of the Cinder bl9ck tablet was funny.
Yeah those seats haven't been anything to write home about since 2006 lol
Thank You ✈️
Thanks for watching 🩴
the cinder block threw me off...🤣
Mission Accomplished 😅
I've said that before, too. For such a whale, she's so quiet (which is amazing), but imagine if there was a team-up with AMG and there was sound enhancement for the engines in the cabin or to each seat as a customised option. I'd book just for that, ahah -- lovely review and video, cheers!
Just give me the sound of 4 Trent 800s and I'll be happy haha
@@tfft YAAAAS
Love your video . Your presentation skills are great. BTW the airport code for Riyadh is RUH
Thanks- RUH on the airport stats card you mean? It says RUH.
You are correct. Sorry
Nice flight, still can’t get behind all the “wood” trim though 😅. Thanks for sharing 😊
Same here! Though their newer darker tone of it is much more bearable.
Great videography! How do you keep the shots so stable/smooth? Do you use an app to process the video? Thanks!
No I don't process them at all, just a very steady iphone lol. Thanks for watching 🩴
Good review. Bonus-point for the kick-pleat action. The airport? Nice but I found arriving three hours before my flight cutting it fine. Everyone in front of me at check-in was in a family-group, with ten pieces of plasi-wrapped baggage balanced on a single trolley. Jordan? Worth given eight or nine days to.
Well, the 10 pieces on a single trolley I’m used to 😂
Welcome back to the UAE!
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Wow - you really did mean electrifying ⚡I'd love it if they piped in the spool up sound especially as the A380 sounds like the THX sound :)
That would be ideal!
Lovely
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Love the quiet and spacious a380! Always a fun novelty to enjoy a shower on those rare lucky occasions I get to experience Emirates F. Too bad a380s are not more economically viable for the airlines.
Do you not miss having a true spool up though? haha. I admit A380s are a very comfortable ride, but the lack of a spool up knocks it off my list of favorite aircraft lol
I see ZIP on the line! I took them in July last year and I would definitely want to fly with them again
Love a lie flat LCC seat!
I find EVA Air's dreamliner seats to be the most comfortable in economy class, closely followed by EK due to its spacious A380 cabin and incomparably better entertainment. However, during a recent flight with EK, I encountered an issue where my seat didn't stay reclined as it should. It would move with me if I didn't apply constant pressure, and could slide back upright. The crew took a look, disassembling my seat in the blink of an eye, but they couldn't resolve the problem in the air, and showed me the only other seat empty on board, a middle seat towards the back. Instead of moving, I tried playing around with the button, gave up and managed to sleep, but I felt a bit let down that the crew didn't offer any compensation or apology for the inconvenience, especially since the seat and seatback started sliding apart at the joint of the structure, exposing an inch of the metal which I noticed after landing. Would you think like me or is this an overreaction?
After my first flight in the upper deck of the A380 I was spoilt for life. No other plane is so quiet, calm, stable and comfy in the air, even the Airbus A350 does not come close, let alone the 787.
I assure you there are no 787 or (3-4-3) 777 economy seats on earth which I'd label as the most comfortable lol.
@@christianbayerstein5243 My dream to get up there soon!

Hey Kevin, looking forward for new Indonesian content. There is a new St Regis in Jakarta and also would love you to review Raffles Bali. Raffles Bali literally is the largest Raffles property in the world with small amount of rooms and also got 4.9 review on Google. I trust your review more than anyone.
Jumeirah Bali, just around the corner from Raffles also has a 4.9, yet it was the dirtiest beach I've seen in ages lol- not to mention the other issues at the resort. All crowd sourced review sites are absolute crap at this point.
@@tffthaha that's why I'd love to see you review it. You can't trust anyone much these days
The new massive and glitzy airport terminal in Dhaka, Bangladesh will look like a mix of Amman and Mumbai Airport. The terminal will open in Jan 2025. I hope you will visit Dhaka, Bangladesh next year when the new terminal opens and perhaps try Biman Bangladesh Airlines. I expected Dhaka to be included in your kangaroo route series but anyways next year you will have a nice experience when the new terminal opens.
Not part of this trip, but definitly on my list.
The A350, 787, 777x and 777 are basically the future of air travel. Twin jets with long range. Singapore and Philippines airlines for example operate A350 ULR (ultra long range) which can fly up to 1000 KM further than the A380. The real kicker however is that the A350 can land in places the A380 can't. This means nonstop flights from international airports to just about anywhere.
SQ is the only operator of the A59ULR.
QAIA airport open the 3rd gate on August
Thanks for watching 🩴
A380 is a great engineering machine, but 747 really looks much elegant, papers and pencils drawing seems still better 😆
Thanks for watching 🩴
Good review as usual .. I had some flights with Emirates over the years mostly on 777 and the product is obsolete and not comfortable in business... The bling factor just doesn't do anything for me. Pricewise they are not particularly competitive either...
Yah, wait for my review next Saturday of their tourture device- I mean, 777 Business Class seat.
So eager to fly this bird ( wonderful flight report) ……… you forgot the lounge review !!!
Not sure if you mean the airport lounge or the on board lounge, but I showed both lol.
At least you weren't in Dubai during the recent flooding / heavy rain, business class be nice but well for me., economy is the only option: Awesome Emirates flight review✈👍
I actually was there during the floods lol.
@@tfft Oops! didn't know that lol
when was this filmed?
Late October
Am going to Jordan 🇯🇴in the August 3rd
By the way am from Jordan 🇯🇴
As bizarre as it sounds to the ear, Moët is actually pronounced with a hard T (so, something like Mo-wet). Shout out to @TrekTrendy for that one! 🍾
That’s exactly what I said lol 🤔
@@tfft Oh yeah, listening again, I can just about hear it - my bad!
The cinder block tablet cracks me up, it sure looks like something out of The Flintstones! Amazing how Emirates can still generate money flying these kerosine guzzling whales on these short/medium hops with the gigantic costs to have them maintained, landing fees, amount of staff etc. (even though I realise circumstances during your travel affected the amount of pax)…. counting down for Thursday 🚨 Thank you for the review as always!
Thursday is probably the most understated doozey I've ever produced lol. For reasons (and laws) I'm sure you know well, I was very careful and conservative in the delivery- but hopefully still got the point across.
A6-EDZ is retired in 2027
Thanks for sharing ✈️
These older fit outs are awful for long haul. Old, dirty. Always make sure you book with the layout that has premium economy . Then you know it’s gonna be the new out fit.
Well, the cabin was clean as a whistle and they don’t offer PE to Amman 😉 But yeah, for long haul I’d skip it.
@@tfft yeah, I had it for a leg to the uk from Melbourne… I was horrified lol it was so old and a bit dirty….. 😵💫🥴😂😭😭😭😭
U talked really slowlyyyyy I am on 1.5 and it’s still slow
Is the room also spinning in slow motion? If there’s one thing I know for sure I don’t do, it’s talk very slowly 😂
I posted a comment related to a factor that affects flight safety a lot more than them not playing the safety video on your recent Lufthansa video. My comment was censored (deleted) within minutes. This level of censorship is insane. My comment had to do with a recent event related to the company that manufactures the 747. You can check the press since I cannot post anything on this platform evidently.
I get comments about Boeing, the 737 Max, Whistleblowers, Spirit… nearly everyday (which are all visible)- so you must be sayin something really special 😂
@@tfft I wasn't except I stated that Boeing is very efficient on that front (if you know what I mean). Censorship on YT has become insane though you may not be aware.
Whine, Whine, Whine!!!!!!
You're the one trolling a review with a score of 92/100... seems like you're the one whining.
Terrible airlines never fly again with them poor
ummm, ok lol
After watching many of your videos, i must say i don’t understand why you are too prejudgy when it comes to middle eastern countries. Although you try to pass these bad false informations under the table, but it is obvious for people who see you content since long time and hear every word you say. You telling your subscribers you are non biased, so stay unbiased. Your channel is to review and give opinion about airlines and airports, not the people or countries. If you want to criticize other things beside aviation just be honest and don’t pretend in every video that you are unbiased. Huge thumbs down.
So either you commented on the wrong video or you are high af. Either way, you couldn’t be further off base if you tried. 2 huge thumbs down to the troll of the day.
Good review. Gotta love the A380. 😍 Lucky you’re not Australian or your channel would be called The Thong Traveller, which obviously has a completely different meaning for most audiences. 🤣 Whereas flip-flop in Australia generally refers to someone who keeps changing their mind. 🩴 🤔
I promise if I was Australian, it wouldn't be called that lol
@@tfft 🤣🤣🤣
