Thanks for the feedback! I didn't realize you were going to watch it. Next time, I'll be sure to hire a Hollywood production team to meet your high standards. I hope you forgive my oversight.
(4:00) That is not a dirty clothes bag. That is a bag for you to carry stuff in like a bottle of water, your jacket, snacks, etc. I like that more than the usual toothbrush, ear plugs, etc. (which you can ask for and get in the restroom)
It's mind boggling to me that Emirates still doesn't offer direct aisle access in business class on their 77Ws. I know they have made the 77W more of a regional plane now but still it is so behind the times compared to other top carriers including Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and Qatar Airways. The fact that United has Polaris on all their internationally equipped wide body jets tells youj that Emirates is lagging in this department. Finally, I think the wood grain between the windows is a very tacky look. Emirates A380 is a nice way to fly but the fact that these planes are sometimes deployed on flights to North America and Australia is abysmal.
Very informative video, i saw a comment that you made about scoring this particular fleet, you are absolutely right, if business class has 28 seats (7 rows) it is the one with individual suite or privacy doors. I even have to do a slowmo to count the seats lol. Thank you for this video it helps me a lot to book my flight to Manila.
I mean, it's still much more comfortable with much better food than economy, so I wouldn't consider it wasted miles. However, if you were hoping for a "luxury experience", you would be disappointed.
They gave PJs, although, in terms of comfort, it was probably the worst PJs I've received on any airline. So I didn't wear it or remember to mention it in the video.
I'm booked round-trip from Toronto to Auckland via Dubai in First Class next year in May 1, 2024. I'm not sure if my A380 will have the new looks or old looks?
I don't think any of the A380s have the completely renewed first class that you'll find on the 777s. However, I think you'll have a fantastic time even on the old one. Even their old first class is outstanding and one of the best. Enjoy your trip! (I love Auckland!)
On the 777, in first class, I would take window+aisle seats (although, talking might still be a bit challenging), window seats in business class would be perfect since there are two seats next to each other. On the a380, middle seats in first and business class (odd numbers are closer together in business) or window seats in premium economy would be great. In economy on both planes, pretty much any seats should be fine. Rows 46-50 on the 777 have only two seats by the window, so those might be preferable (although closer to the lavs at the back).
There's no way to specifically book this cabin. But you can tell if what you've booked has this cabin if it has 28 seats instead of 32 and the presence of a premium economy cabin. Of course, things can change, but that seems to currently be the case.
I believe they send you to the Club Lounge because TK departs from Terminal F, whereas the United Club Lounge is in Terminal T. But yeah, I could have accessed the United Club Lounge if I wanted.
Awesome video thanks! We'll be there early Jan. for 3.5 days - colder and less tourists from Europe LOL..did you buy a package to visit all the moments Or can you use credit card to charge for the admissions w/o problems too?
That's a great time to be there! Most of the mosques are free to get in and I had no issues using a credit card to purchase tickets to other places (like Topkapi Palace and Galata Tower) on the spot. I didn't purchase anything in advance. I imagine it would even be less necessary in January. Have a great trip!
@@arbitrarytravelvids Thanks for the scoop!! Yes although a bit cold, perhaps if it will be drier (less snow/rain), would be perfect for scarf-wearing in mosques, not sweating like piggies too for long walks all day, hahaha!
