terrible place you're right I'm playing economy let's just start again Liam how are you flying I'm gonna be flying in business class today welcome to Dubai today we're doing one of the most exciting videos we've done in a long time Emirates in four cabins not the usual three Liam how are you flying I'm flying in business class today Aaron how are you flying I'm flying economy I'm gonna be in first class which leaves Ben I am flying their brand new premium economy the first time they have ever had it never been seen before this is exciting what's more exciting is I've got a beautiful limo waiting for me a lovely Mercedes right behind to whisk me to the airport because I'm flying first class I'm Gonna Leave You lots of your transportation I'm gonna get in this beautiful car now wait Nikki do you mind if I hop in with you all right then let's do it let's go [Music] we're gonna go find the bus stop yeah someone's got to do it so December's first class Journey Begins I've been picked up from the hotel in this beautiful Mercedes Emirates provides a show for service on both ends of the journey with a certain distance limit but only on cash tickets [Music] so we may not have an Emirates limousine but we have taken an Uber to the airport a comfortable start to our Emirates journey to London well just pulled up at Dubai International Airport thanks so much ready to check in for the flight definitely do with that every time I have to go to the airport foreign [Music] way to start the journey such a treat to have a chauffeur driver drop you off at this the first in business class dedicated check-in area Dubai airport now it's time to go and find the business class checking area and as I step in I'll tell you what it is looking very very empty in here so I can't see myself having any problems today so Emma is actually like an hour and I have like a lot of very poor memories from my time when I used to live in Australia I would always come from Oslo through Dubai and then directly to Sydney let's go foreign as you might expect from an airline like Emirates at the Hub in Dubai this is a beautiful modern terminal very spacious it is late morning now and it seems like a great time to fly out because it's very quiet and very peaceful and so far a very relaxing start to my Emirates premium economy experience dedicated first and business plus tracking area is vast no waiting no queuing perfect I'm ready for checking no lines false [Music] I love a bag tag and they found the last one apparently in the whole of Dubai I'm going to put it on eBay now Brave could be very precious today I got seats 84k [Music] I'll tell you what Emirates really know how to do it right that couldn't have been any more than five minutes from check-in through security through to the main terminal area ready to go to the lounge and I've got a long time before my flight which I'm very happy about because it means I can go and fully enjoy my business Lounge experience [Music] so here I am back in the Emirates business class Lounge regular viewers the channel Market member that I was actually here earlier in the year when I was flying with fly Dubai in business which also gives you access to the Emirates Lounge but you know that wasn't a full Emirates experience and today I'm really going to bed in I'm going to explore again because if you remember this Lounge is massive and it looked really quiet today so I basically got a whole thing to myself now I don't know if it was particularly quiet this morning but as far as things go that was a stunningly efficient experience being a first-class passenger business class looked pretty great as well security was empty immigration was empty check-in was empty and I'm up in the airport now I'm ready to go to the lounge literally within a couple of minutes [Music] there's so much here from a spa to a fine dining area there's Japanese food there's bars everywhere there's a Shoe Shine Service there's a children's area did you say I'm immature am I that immature probably [Music] foreign [Music] I mentioned it last time but this Lounge has more food and dining options than any other Lounge I've seen there's an Asian bar there's a Mediterranean bar there's a whole separate dessert bar I don't know how you could ever explore this entire place in one visit we've been walking for about 10 minutes I haven't reached the end of the first side foreign yeah that'd be great thank you so as you can probably tell I'm currently sitting in the Moe Champagne Bar which is definitely what I think the most incredible feature of this Emirates Lounge so cheers fine it's not even midday yet but this is what business class travel is all about right premium economy doesn't come with any lounge access but it's just a really nice terminal here it's really light and Airy and a really nice space to kill some time before my Emirates flight oh this is nice I feel I've Just Seen crystals and all kind of panther designs so a bit of a Costa a bit of normality that's what we like so obviously when in Dubai you've got to go with authentic Arabic coffee so cheers to that this is a delicious little treat so there are a few different places to eat around this massive Lounge but I'm sitting in the more fine dining area which is a more formal service and I'm going to scan the QR code to see what's on the menu an awesome breakfast I'm starving this is the real deal listen to that crunch [Music] wow that was amazing I need one of those before every single flight I'm not Posh enough to have proper shoes but there is a shoe shine place and they said they can clean my trainers well annoyingly I spent far too much time getting massage and having my shoes cleaned and I don't have enough time now to order the buggy steak which is meant to be good but they tell me that the Mediterranean burrata is bagging [Music] this Lounge is incredible but this is only the lounge at the B Concourse that the acon course there's one that's even bigger a hundred thousand square feet I had a look at that one in our last Emirates video and when you finish watching this one you can head over there and watch that Emirates three cabin review to see what that other ridiculously amazing Lounge is like hello Ben so we're going to create our own little Lounge experience so we may not have lounge access in economy and premium economy but that doesn't mean that we can't enjoy a nice drink before we bought the flat very sweet so here on the B Concourse not like the acorn course where the direct Lounge for door access here you come just out the lounge into this Corridor which is just for business and first class passengers and from the gate here enter and board the plane very quiet very calm very lovely after yes now I can't even see nikkien Lee manywhere so hopefully I haven't gotten carried away I didn't have too much champagne and lunch or whatever so what if this is glass number two who's counting so we're just about ready for boarding very excited to see the brand new Emirates premium economy cabin on the A380 now I am in row 38k what are you in I'm also in Cabot 84. 84. okay so you're about 50 rows behind me that's a long way back so excited can't wait to be on an Emirates flight again oh look I can see down there it's called the economy passengers including Ben and Marin who have a bit of a busier time than Nikki and I do up here thank you enjoy your flight there we go thank you biometric scanning straight through okay so here we go always the most exciting part of the whole day there is the big A380 I cannot wait to see my seat I'm about to get on board this first class Emirates experience I'm so excited [Music] thank you very much hi hello welcome aboard sir [Music] how nice is this looking and this is going to be my home for the next six and a half hours there's four of us on the flat one thank you nice to have you nice to be here [Music] welcome aboard this first class Suite on the Emirates A380 this cabin has 14 first class seats on the upper deck of the aircraft in a one two one configuration first impressions are it's glitzy it's large it's comfortable and there's so much stuff to Feast your eyes on so first up it's a super wide comfortable padded seat there's a control panel that has different modes to allow you to put this into a bed eating mode which moves the seat forward towards the table and also and most importantly there's a door on this cabin two doors electric mechanism close up to cocoon you into this safe relaxing cozy space there's a basket full of snacks and a mini bar it's an absolutely giant tray table the detailings in this cabin are gorgeous there are lamps all around the cabin to provide a soft mood lighting and evening time there are also multiple screens and absolutely giant Ife screen in front of you there's also an iPad just down to the right and there's another handset with a screen on it right in the seat pocket now store their storage all over this cabin bits behind you fits to the side of you there's even fresh orchids displayed in the cabin what more could you want so first impression is very good a big table there's like a nice tree finish on it see it seems like super comfy the screen is it's huge for a convey as you can as you can tell loads and entertainment going on here as well let's have a look at the leg room you can actually complete play like stretch out your legs so when you're small like me that's one of the advantages so first impressions of the Emirates new premium economy cabin really beautiful seat finishes I love this cream leather here feels like a really like nice sports car quite spacious it's nice and wide windows are beautiful I love these massive A380 windows it's in a 242 configuration which is pretty standard for premium economy these days I'm really liking the leg room a little foot rest folds down there's a little drink tray to share with my neighbor in the seat back pocket bottle of water some headphone unfortunately I think these are the same that are provided in economy which is a bit disappointing because they do look a little bit cheap a nice big pillow that's definitely bigger than what you get in economy a nice big Ife screen here tilts out headphone jack a USBC and a normal USB it's a good recline obviously definitely more noticeable than regular economy downsides really small trade table so I've just sat down on my business class C on this Emirates A380 let me give you a quick tour most importantly the seat itself it feels really comfy you've got this adjustable headrest that moves up and down it's almost got like a double padding layer which makes it feel so soft you've got this lovely finish with this sort of like cream pattern that's like cross stitched across and then the rest of the cabinet itself has got this sort of like laminated wood finish that you can see here over here on my left shoulder where do I begin I've got a little pop-out control my Ife screen that you can click in and out have a little reading light above my seat here if I want to do some reading then above there we have an number of different charging ports we've got the usual UK main socket here you've got your headphone jack you've got USB or HDMI and then over to my left you've got this pull out tray table that we click like this and it slides across nice and easy let's just click that away also on my left is another first to me a mini bar how cool is that so we have an iPad that's currently got the flight route on this can also help me control my Ife screen which is just insane really then out in front of me let's have a look at my leg room so firstly there's a little slot below where you can put your feet if you want to which feels nice and comfy but then here's where the real leg room is you can see there like they're pretty deep foot Wells but if we keep on coming up we've got this enormous Ife screen which is truly gigantic bigger than any TV you would ever need on a player you can control that with touch screen as well as using the iPad or the seat remote then over to my right we have a couple of storage units so again this lovely laminated wood finish click them down and you can see there plenty of room for your things I've already started putting things away let's click that and then in case you have more stuff click it open and there's another one where my bedding is currently being stored as well tons of room to put all your things I've also got this nice big white pillow in my business cabin to be honest super back at the moment is Fluffy enough already so I'm happy to just leave it like that so let's have a look at the amenities very soft and fluffy pillow headphones a lot of attention to details nicer sign lovely cabin crew you definitely feel it's like a bit of luxury even though you're in economy okay I don't know if you're ready for this when you're a first class person or an Emirates you get a lot immunity kit deodorant tissues hair brush or gari bag towelettes a whole bottle of aftershave lip balm shaving foam Dental Care shaver self moisturizing pajamas hand sanitizer mask eye mask slippers and notepad a pen an entire snack basket am I missing anything a pillow a blanket a mattress to go under how could we forget and these glorious berries and Wilkins headphones I think that's about it [Music] thank you so rather than Curry have told us fine I can also see the first class manual here which Nikki will be enjoying paired with mine and that's one or two pages the first class menu on today's flight is 16 pages with an incredibly comprehensive menu on board today you were able to dine on demand as much as you want whenever you want surely I've got a kick off with champagne and caviar Dom pairing it on 2003. let's go foreign [Music] Butternut chicken potato and chive salad with some Asian slaw cheese crackers bit of wine can't wait to begin [Music] and now it's time for the highway it's lemon milk cake served with dual sugar [Music] that is very good really nice looking lunch meal served in Everett tomato economy looks like business class to be honest I've gone for the prawns and it's uh was their starter and some profiteroles before I dessert [Music] the seat's quite wide but the tray table is more to the left so it kind of have to lean in a bit too and it goes back and forth it doesn't go side to side thank you [Music] okay so my Arabic meze starters just come around and it looks absolutely delicious I've got a number of different dips I've got some salad I've got some bread let's dig in [Music] I'm not gonna lie at first I was a bit disappointed by this white cold bread and they brought around a selection of warmer breads including this garlic bread which is absolutely delicious it's almost like a weird like pastry but anyway you can turn that off dip it in and that is going down very well indeed [Music] now this is alive 38 000 feet incredibly expensive and delicious champagne cheers [Music] I've had some snacks but now comes the double portion of caviar Bellini all the accompaniments a Bread Basket a shot of vodka and another glass of incredible champagne this is a true luxury in the sky now I've seen this one before this is meant to be Emirates first class Elite snacking secret the garlic bread is famous you break open this sexy garlic bread you load it with caviar and this is the is the snack of all snacks [Music] honestly stunning I'll tell you what the service on board so far has been exceptional I've been offered drinks every five minutes constantly refilled and I've also just been brought my main course which is this incredible looking beef tenderloin and I'm gonna tuck in right now the beef is so succulent it's bursting the flavor cooked to absolute perfection asparagus is really tasty too the potatoes are lovely okay so I've opted for something a little different for dessert I've done for the yuzo green tea cake garnished with dark chocolate and Pearls it's a nice and light dessert to finish what's been quite a full-on heavy meal with bread and dips beef green tea cake is a winner [Music] so here we've got the Arabic message I love the way that they set it out around your plate but ate nine different things to try here that Arabic Moses is a wonderful starter and a real nod to the heritage of what's the core of Emirates [Music] my main course is now so it's about juicy balloons fragrant rice it's a winner the lemon arm and Cates finished things off with a lovely cup of tea I still want the cheese I just don't think I can manage it might have a break so this Mrs A380 features the new style bar which is available to First on business class passengers and there's a business class passenger right here someone say bar you don't get much more exclusive than this going to a bar on a plane I'm a man of the people I can serve my own cocktails look at that freshly made mojito 35 000 feet in the air you cannot be that Cheers Cheers this is what I'm really here for thank you so much so we've got a nice little pre-arrival meal here now a cheese sandwich this scones actually pots with some classic cream and strawberry jam feels like we're almost in London now [Music] thank you [Music] so it's time for one of the most unique experiences you can ever have on an airplane a shower [Music] when I'm in my lovely Emirates PJs a shower on a plane is one of the greatest things ever but it's not just that it's all the amenities that they have in here heated floor a hair dryer everything you could ever want and I think now it's time for me to have a bit of a rest in these PJs I already just made it out the bathroom and there's some delicious signature tea waiting for me thank you very much that's so nice this bed is possibly one of the most comfy beds I've ever been on the mattress underneath is thick the duvets comfy the sheets are luxurious the pillow is soft there's so much space there's one hour left of the flight that means it's time for the call Bill challenge I'm guessing it's going to be pretty great let's press the buzzer three two one hi do you have any um herbal tea that was 10 seconds that was very quick hello can I get a cup of tea please pretty damn quick not the quickest ever but not bad at all oh my God the phone is ringing does anybody does someone answer this I can always bring it no no no I can't believe it the Corbell challenge is completed can I get a glass of a Hennessy thank you I might not know how to pronounce it but I do know that this costs a thousand pounds a bottle that'd be nice oh it is quite nice actually hello how are you good can I just have a glass of water please you like it thank you very much I'm used to taking my own photos on flights for things like this but this is definitely the first time I've ever had final meal or flight this cheesy gnocchi dish I'm digging it I've got about an hour left on this flight and I could not have had a more comfortable seamless Journey given this seat is brand new it's only about a year old as is the aircraft and you can really tell just with how everything feels so well put together so comfortable the one thing the seat is missing is a sliding door that little bit more privacy to really take it to the next level but overall honestly what a great design I have had a very good time foreign [Music] with Emirates the seat was comfy huge screen like three times the size of others have seen an economy great entertainment system service was amazing the cabin crew was just so nice I think it's the best service you can get on an airline and that was Emirates brand new premium economy on the Airbus A380 from Dubai to London overall I was pretty impressed I had high expectations going in I think it's probably the best premium economy I've flown see it's really good the food was excellent the service was great if I mean really picky tray table a bit too small and slightly wrong position serving the tea and coffee and those paper cups was kind of cheap as with those headphones which were just economy ones but overall I would say Emirates premium economy is excellent well that was Emirates on that A380 from Dubai to London in business class done honestly what an exceptional flight I think the product itself made it it was so comfortable such a fresh new sea felt like a real joy to fly on even in the live flat position it was so soft and nice to relax on food didn't stop coming it was all delicious and the staff were so friendly and Charming I can't wait to do that again I'm absolutely Blown Away Emirates first class is known as an amazing product but it really really was on the A380 an almost brand new one a refresh product an incredible ground experience a shower on board a thousand pound bottles of cognac incredible service this is as good as it gets that was Emirates on the A380 from Dubai to London In First Class done [Music] foreign [Music]
