I flew on Emirates A380 from Los Angeles to Dubai. This video features a close look of Emirates Premium Economy and Business Class on this ultra long haul flight.
I boarded the long flight and settled in Business Class which has updated interior of white leather seats. The flight had a small delay so I took the opportunity to experience Premium Economy Class. There were just a few passengers taking advantage of the Premium Economy cabin as Emirates has just added Premium Economy on US A380 flights including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, and New York. Flight attendant showed me the seat functions and I gave my recommendation of the best seats in Emirates Premium Economy.
During the flight, I checked out the meals served and compared those of Premium Economy with Economy Class. I was given some behind-the-scenes tips on how the Emirates crew operated the A380. At the end of the flight, I gave my verdict on flying in both Emirates Premium Economy and Business Class.

I reached out to Emirates for permission to film onboard so I can interact with the crew and film something different. The motivation for my vlog is to show you my experience and enjoy the trip together. It is not intended as a review because it is based on one single flight. In Q3, I will launch a flight rating platform where everyone can rate their flight. This way, we will have a more consistent number of responses that can represent it fairly.

Great idea to distribute extra food amongst passengers. Hope all airlines take it up

@gymrat2647 10 ай бұрын

Great idea especially if one is hungry during the flight

@JL-jr9gk 10 ай бұрын

The only problem is that if the food has been on a passengers tray that it is not hygienic to hand it to another person, they could have touched it or dropped in the floor. What they could do is when the food trays are handed out the crew could offer a pastry from a basket. If there is any left after the food service it could then be distributed to economy passengers. Good idea though, shame to see food being thrown away.

@vijaysrinivasan6362 10 ай бұрын

I too think it's a great idea. But I don't think it should be restricted to just economy as you don't want those passengers to think it's a charity and could affect their self esteem. If the food is distributed it should be placed in a common counter where all classes can access them equally. Sort of like a take away counter. And the crew can also serve them to those who are hungry.

It seems the Premium Economy product offers a fantastic value to people who want to try, but perhaps can't afford the amazing first and business class experiences that Emirates is so famous for. This still looks really comfortable, and for the first time, the airline food actually looks like something I would really enjoy! Yay for Tillamook! Praying for your mother. I'm sorry for this difficult time, but I'm so glad thay you are prioritizing your time with her. I know that she loves and appreciates you, and is clearly proud of you. May your time with her be warm and meaningful .

ANA actually does that. On my recent flight with ANA from Chicago to Tokyo and Tokyo to Singapore, they handed out the business class drinks menu after the meal service to Premium Economy guests and asked to choose the wine of their choice including champagne. Thats a great way to reduce the wastage of wines opened for welcome drinks and for meal service.

@SamChui 10 ай бұрын

Good to know this!

@willius374 10 ай бұрын

wines have no best before dates, but food have. Just close the bottle and serve it on the next flight. So there's no reason to offer them to Premium Economy.

@TripandTravels 10 ай бұрын

@@willius374 Whether open bottles will be used on the next segment will mainly depend on the turnaround time to avoid serving stale drinks and logistics - in particular whether there are any custom concerns and whether or not sorting bottles is worth the time and effort. When the caterer simply resupplies filled carts in exchange for the used ones, that may not be worth the time sorting the stuff on board and if the caterer sorts them on the ground later, they have been open for quite a while, so one would not put them back on a flight.

I lost both my parents 6 years ago 5 weeks apart it was so hard and since I am a only child I felt utterly devastated.
