Yes, I am very lucky to have EK as my hometown airline. I have been living in Europe prior coming to Dubai 11 years ago and I have to say that quality in air travel still matters here, in fact; it keeps improving. That is even on the shortest if flights, so very happy to fly by my own or with my family. It makes a big difference. Thanks again for the comment and I hope you can enjoy the great EK soon too!

Just came across this review today. My wife and I have been fortunate to have done the Emirates, Perth/Dubai - Dubai/London (and Dubai/Manchester) and return on the A380, Business Class, quite a few times before Covid screwed things up. Last time we travelled to the UK was with Singapore Airlines on one of their A380 in Business Class. May 2019. We were told they were better than Emirates. "Well, they're not". Certainly not on that trip anyway. Your review brought back all the memories we have had with Emirates. Your detail on all aspects of the trip from the chauffer ride to the airport, Emirates Lounges, and all the inflight details were the best I've seen. It was just as I remembered. Now July 2022 and was wondering where to go next year. Domestic within Australia, or New Zealand? Having seen this review, I think a trip on Emirates A380 is the way to go. Excellent review. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your work. Nice job.

In the Economy Class I recommend anything in the first or last cabin at the window, for the best views. In Business Class any A or K seats, and if you can’t find those then any B, D, G or J in the front cabin. In First my favorite seats are 2AK or 3AK. Have fun!

And I’m flying to visit my real mother-in-law with Emirates this August, imagine my belly stress awaiting! Now, regarding my knowledge, it does come with a lot of help from pilot & crew friends/family, and also because I like to read technical stuff whenever I find 5 minutes for myself. While your knowledge is massive I do understand that your point of view is different then mine. I have some A380 pilot friends in Dubai and as they rarely sit by the wing or behind it they don’t really know what the wing is up to, so I like to show it to them at times. Some stuff they had no idea about! So it’s cool to have these chats with them and then pass the info on to everyone else here that might like it. Thanks for you comment, I really appreciate! Sam was my idol since I was young, he was great at what he was doing and he provided very detailed blogs. He took a separate direction now towards to the broader audiences and I like it. He has access to many parts of aviation that many will never be able to see, so I am glad he shares. Nogmaals bedankt! Groeten uit Nieuw-Vennep (op visite in Nederland😛)

Thanks for sharing this incredible trip! I've seen the Emirates business lounge from the Outside looking in, and I know how huge it is. This gives it a whole new perspective from the inside! I'd probably want to sample everything lol. I'm glad many airlines have brought back their A380's and I'm still holding out to finally fly one hopefully soon.. How was AMS Airport? I heard it's insanely busy right now.

AMS is an absolute nightmare, I returned from there yesterday and sadly it is just not worth it traveling there until they get their things back in order. I’m supposed to go celebrate my sons birthday there next month and I’ll cancel that if it continues, no way I am doing a 4 hour line with a child. I can’t even show the full EK lounge as it would be a hell of a long and boring video, but I hope you get to see it for yourself! It’s just massive! And there are many more Business Class and First Class Lounges around the airport😵‍💫 Thanks for watching and writing!

Was surprised to hear that since EK usually is very consistent in their service and such anomalies are rare. Kit or no kit, I'm just looking forward to the experience.

All I can add, from what I know, is that there might be more nationals from a certain country when that language is required for various reasons, such as language barriers or government rules. Examples of this include China, Japan and South Korea; you’ll find half the crew being from those countries. When I fly to Amsterdam there will be some Dutch speaking crew, from either the Netherlands, Belgium or elsewhere. But yes, mostly it’s mixed!

Hey! It all depends on various factores, such as slot times, congestion of departure routes, and eventually yes, size of aircraft.

Good question Taewon! I never really thought about it, and to be honest, I don’t think there is much of a difference.. Juiciness does not depend on the blood levels in the meat I think.. I honestly did not notice much of a difference. All the steaks I buy here in Dubai are by standard halal and whenever I make them I ensure it’s medium rare and juicy. The one on the plane was cooked more then I preferred, but that is just because it takes me long to finish the appetizers as I’m filming. So the meat stays longer in the hot oven then it should. Always happens when I am filming😅

I am one to believe that, unless due to some catastrophical event, the need for ultra wide bodies will arise in the next 20 years or so due to airport congestion and slots. Amsterdam for example will cap 430,000 departures a year. It is now 500,000. That means that the only way to fly more passengers is to fly bigger planes. So while the A380 seems gone for now, I do reckon there might be a need for similar planes in the future. Who knows!
