Review: EMIRATES A380 in ECONOMY CLASS! 

DISCLAIMER: This Review was filmed in February and I'm currently on the GROUND and NOT TRAVELING. For daily updates, please follow me on instagram.com/gotravelyourway - Thanks!

I will say, I don't know who catered your Emirates flights, but on my EK flights (JFK-DXB-HYD) the only food that was bad is some side salads. The food on EK is some of the best ive had. Great review Josh and stay safe!

Emirates line food is quite good. Really delicious and their economy is always the best.

I flew Emirates on the A380 almost 20 times. I definitely agree with you on the terrible wifi, however I see the food as normal and much better than many airlines

Wait noo I actually find the meals on Emirates very tasty! At least that has been my experience every time I've flown them! Haha

Great video. Shame about the food, I've never heard the expression 'dry as a fart' before, might need to start using it :)

When it comes to food and beverages I feel like the quality on Emirates has decreased massively over the past years. When I flew with them for the first time in the early 2010s from Hamburg to Beijing via Dubai I still remember the crew serving drinks every few hours to all the economy passengers without being asked. Also the meals felt a little "bigger" and more filling. When I flew with them again last spring from Hamburg to Melbourne via Dubai the meals were smaller and drinks were only served with the meals. If you wanted to drink anything in between you had to call the crew over, climb over your neighbours or hope to catch one of the few drinks they carried on a small tablet and offered to the few people who payed attention. Also if it wasn't for my friend giving me half of her meals I would have starved. Especially on the 14 hour leg from Dubai to Melbourne one Meal and a piece of microwaved pizza and the tiny breakfast were not enough. Sure I could have raided the snack bar but that wouldn't have been fair to all the other passengers. 😂 Though the service overall was and has always been great with Emirates and their entertainment system is the best I have experienced so far it still feels wrong to arrive at the destination of an almost 30 hour trip hungry as hell. Especially since I'm not the biggest guy and would even argue that I eat less than the average man. 😅

I've travelled long haul international in economy with Emirates several times, and always been happy with the food.

5:05 - 8:41 after edits, there must be a huge line waiting outside the loo while you are busy vlogging 😂😂

I have always enjoyed the food on Emirates. It is the best I have had on any of the airlines I have travelled with.

Emirates inflight food is delicious.

I think it has to do with culture. Asian crews are friendly and humble. Crews of Western airline companies are more spontaneous, have humor and all topics can be discussed. Whether it is about the flight or personal opinions. My last flight was to Malaysia with KLM. I spoke to the crew and we talked about everything, even about our personal lives. I would never dare to speak to an Asian crew and ask about her family situation. I sometimes enjoyed chatting with a crew, especially on long intercontinental flights. And of course, safety comes first for the crew members.

I'm so glad you're still uploading content. I'm also glad you're in perfect health.

Emirates Has THE BEST FOOD!!

Very nice video, Josh. I always love watching your reviews. Very realistic, no b/s and very straight to the point. Keep safe!

Great video, I really like your honest review

The thing I'm always looking for is legroom, I always choose the aisle seat. He didn't mention anything about legroom. What's the legroom like in Economy?

Hello josh, I strongly agree on what you have said. In my opinion it is as good as some business class on other airlines

EK food not bad, but some time when you pre-view the dining menu have some cause it show the menu but after flight take off some cause was not provide, dunno why, also the crew may be is come from different country and dunno the some country immigration document need.

I love your videos. One minor point of interest ; when you use the word ‘comprehensive ‘ you don’t need to us e’very’ , it’s implied. Serious big fan.

Excellent review as always! Hope you are safe and well given the current situation :)

I have flown with Emirates quite a bit, only in Economy though. I found their flight crew to be grumpy and showed selective politeness. Their best service was reserved for people from "specific" parts of the world. The food was always good IMHO. As a contrast, their ground staff was EXCEPTIONAL, unbiased and totally professional with the occasional personal touch. Funny if you ask me.

I flew Emirates from Scotland to Australia, great cabin crew and I found the food on my flights to be better than most airlines. Going there I flew Glasgow-Dubai-Singapore-Melbourne and returned Melbourne-Dubai-Glasgow, it must be amazing to fly business/first class on long haul flights

Love to see that Boarding panel showing TP6346. ;)

Nice production 👍

what can we say... Do&Co on TK. But does anyone know if they even utilize them during the pandemic?

Just before the pandemic there was a mention about them slowly introducing Premium Economy, but only on newer fit-outs and not across the fleet.

I have watched videos like this for days straight I’m so exicited my flight is on saturday

I was supposed to fly with Emirates last month, but like lots of people plans had to change. The on flight entertainment seems okay. If you've flown with Lufthansa airline how would you compare the two? Asking since not sure who to rebook with (both will be economy)

Fair comments about economy class in general and I personally am a big fan of the Emirates product on the A380. As you said, great seat and awesome IFE.

Josh I like your channel and honest reviews regarding many airlines in the world, in top of all it seems like you are a CHILL guy. Keep it up buddy

Did they screen u?

Agree.. on over 80 flights with Emirates only once did the senior flight attendant introduce himself to me saying he appreciated it's skywards frequent flyers. I really appreciated this and the fact he asked if I would like my preferred alcoholic beverage. But as the drinks are free.. it took the edge of his jesture a little. Emirate's.. you need to engage more

Thanks for the great review Josh. I’m an infrequent traveller but have been going back and forth across the Atlantic every year for 25 years now. What I do is order a special meal to get something a little tastier...Halal or Indian are usually quite good. And the FAs also tell me that those are their favorites. Try it! Take care, stay safe and hope to see you up in the air again soonest! Liebe Grüße aus Essen.

Tried downloading Surfshark VPN your sponsor and immediately I see only negative remarks on Play store. Will it work in UAE ?

bro i became a big fan of you i just saw a video and started seeing all from 1st i liked all those what a genuine person you are i am from india

Hi Josh,. Nice review as always. Their Economy class are superb. Heard they will roll out their Premium Economy in this coming December 2020.

Madison The fact that he is honest abt the food

@Josh Cahill - I love the time-lapse during take off around 4:40 min mark with the uplifting music. What song is that?

I love the way he didn't want to intrude on his two seat mates to film his review, but then took over one of the toilet for so many minutes and probably caused a queue of a dozen people.

Hey josh, when did you do that flight?!

FANTASTIC VIDEO

Great flight, Josh. Take care always., 😊

For me, I actually loved Singapore Airlines.... I've been flying with them since my days as a kid with my parents in the 80s, and right up until 2019 on their awesome A380.... the staff to me were great.... and very talkative.... wanting to find out about my trip, where I travelled too; if I needed something, I was waited on immediately and accommodated.... food was fantastic. Planes were always clean and nicely kept. They are as far as I'm concerned, the best international airline in the world. I would choose them over Emirates any day, and flying to the best airport in the world Changi Airport is an added bonus, for the connecting hub. Especially now that they have Changi Jewel....

nice review. TQVM Josh Cahill

Hi Josh, do you not need travel facilities? I love to travel, but I do not have enough money

In how much airlines have you travelled

Nice vlog Josh

I don't mind Emirates economy food but on the Newcastle UK to Dubai route the menu does not seem to vary anymore.

I flew emirates EK322 from DXB to ICN and I had ordered the pre ordered Hindu Non veg meal. It was really tasty! I think you should try the preorderd foods on emirates. Also, the western food option on menus always seem to be the most bland or dry. They out the eastern or Asian varieties. It may be worth your try on all the middle eastern and Asian airlines.

I was supposed to do the Kuala Lumpur-Dubai route in the A380 (departing from France with the B777) this summer but I guess this won’t happen now :/

I LOVE EMIRATES

Something to cheer up

I ve travelled emirates a380 economy from dubai to boston... And trust me they served the best turkey i ever had and i was dying to return so i could taste their meals again

...It also does seem, that the airline food does depend a lot on the cooking policy of the outbound airport catering. How much to say and influence each airline has in this respect? Quite an interesting matter to research.

Suoerb bro the video was awsm

I LOVE EMRATES

And i love emirates airline a380

Nice Emirates flight

It's a real pity the food has taken such a dive, but it certainly has done so of the last few years in particular. I remember flying them in 2003 and getting a huge slab of fresh moist salmon on a full sized tray with salad and moist carrot cake, it was basically a business class meal on other airlines of the time. I certainly rate the A380 very highly for passenger experience.

Nice video

Very good... 👍👍

427 configuration seats 76 business class and 14 first class suites. Personal entertainment, USB slot, cup holder and foldable table blanket, noise cancelling headphones and pillow, blanket. Remote control, power outlet is missing. Safe trip to Bangkok Thailand to Dubai UAE from Frankfurt, Germany. WiFi network are required.

I really, really appreciate the fact that you did not disturb the lady in the next seat due to your flight review... humane in the real sense!

I fly evry now and then, with Emirates from Stockholm to Mauritius via Dubai on the B777 and A380, and I am very expecting about the food on board, but I´ve never been disappointed on Emirates. In fact I really enjoy the food on Emirates every time. But as You all understand, that is only my version of this with airline food.

I really like your videos

I had Emirates flights 5 years ago, the food was delicious, but unfortunately at that time you only received a few breads only for breakfast, but overall, the service was excellent

And about the food my impression was, that Emirates is, probably, the most Vegan Vegetarian friendly airline. With a very interesting menu in this segment of service. Also the way Emirates treats the long time transit economy class tourists - passengers at the Dubai International Airport... The vouchers they deliver and the whole airport... Only Singapore International airport can be compared to DAX... Although, I liked very much the colorful elephants in Suwarnabumi and in New Delhi...

I'm going to london next week

You might had a good experience with Emirates business class but I had a very bad experience with economy class with Emirates from Chicago to Dubai

Agree about the food ! Very dry and limited options

Thanks for sharing this great video. I'm a RU-vidr form Sri Lanka. Happy travel to you.

Hi Josh. I would be very interested in seeing you do a review on an Emirates economy flight, from London to Dubai with short layover, then continue in economy to Brisbane. Don't forget a good neck support pillow though. I think the food is pretty good, hubby not so keen though 😊 and Cabin crew very pleasant and helpful, apart from only one flight when service and crew wasn't up to standard . Love your reviews.

Nice video Josh my food opinonEmirates airline in all three cabins are delicious.

Ugh I miss flying already!! Talking about their food, Ive only been on the same route London - DXB - KUL/SIN for a few times and i must say it was exciting at first then it got really boring after that. MAS has better options. I just love having Nasi Lemak in the sky!

josh the goodest food is a cake

Nice vid Josh, sad to see the current state of the airline industry.

Emirates food in all classes once was outstanding, but that was 10 and 15 years ago. I agree with you, that now it is often bland, served with little (Business) or no attention (Economy) to any detail. It seems Emirates nowadays need to cut costs at any price and with the food and the kindness of the crew they start. I had crews over the last 2 to 3 years, who made you feel more as if you are in a Russian gulag, than on a premium airline. Since I live in Dubai, I have been a Skywards premium member for 2 daceads and do my fair share of flying every year. Lately the decline- especially in economy and even more in business becomes worrisome to the frequent flyer. I personally am scared that Emirates goes the same direction Etihad did... or Lufthansa years ago... sad..

I always fly Emirates the food depends on the route I fly Manchester Dubai and Dubai Delhi never had an issue with food main courses are nice the sweet dishes are good. I agree with internet but never had an issue with economy always a pleasure on any plane they use :)

Emirates do supply tooth brushes, eye shades, socks and paste and Singapore Airlines on my 17 1/2 flight 11/23/2019 SFO to Singapore didn’t provide any of that, they actually removed my Tumi lock from my luggage! I was first introduced to Covid on Singapore Airlines! And also those Singapore girls most definitely not as friendly as Emirates crew’s!

I very much like your videos

My thoughts on the food in Emirates? At least it won’t kill me like some other meals 😂 Also, I couldn’t agree more about the WiFi, I tried it in November on my flight from Dubai to New York JFK for free, it was so bad the time limit passed in no time, so I had to buy a better package and finish what I was doing haha

I don't really think you pay a "premium" though to fly Emirates. It's the same cost as any other full-service airlines... Flight cost depends on the date and time of booking, as well as where you're flying too, different airlines will have different prices depending on the time of year and location in respect to their home base.

Anyone notice how similar Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport is to DXB?

in regards to the food: If you want the chicken, you need to book the first half of the cabin as they always start in the very front - not from front and back or even several starting points, no, at the front. So in the last rows, you'll wait 2 hours for your food and the chicken will never be an option. I've had this exact experience on 6 consecutive long haul flights to and from australia and on the last flight got really pissed of. They started their deascalation speeches, I apologized and then got another chicken meal that was found somewhere surprisingly...

Have had the privilege to fly Emirates a few times (both cattle class and biz), and my experience is that the crew on cattle is more attentive and service minded than on biz. The crew on biz is more blaze and seems a bit bored, so if Emirates could get the same level of ''I see you'' in biz, it would be a winner. P,s love your videos

You spent a lot of time in the bathroom. Was there a line when you finally came out? Seriously, it was a fine video and much appreciated in this time when we are stuck at home. Stay safe and healthy>

I like Emirates Food :)

Nice

Emirates really have gone down quite a bit in the past few years. No more hot towels and amenity kits, no more pre meal snack & drink, extra payment for seat selections and so on. Kind of sad to see this happening, as they should get better instead of worse.

My favourite airline and A380 favorite aircraft. I think their hot meals are actually nice. Best IFE.

Thanks, Josh. I have to agree with your comments. I recently received a request from United to comment after a round trip flight. I told them I'm continually disappointed that no one greets passengers as they board....the FA is hiding in the galley texting on her cell phone. I also don't understand why a FA cannot respond in kind when I thank them and smile for delivering a drink or a snack. I get it...their jobs are not easy...but if you don't like people and don't enjoy engaging with passengers, then please consider you might be in the wrong profession. My...how things have changed.

Wifi in A380 EK always suck, but in 777 EK it is good.

My favorite German youtuber

First is superb on EK , I thought the food was excellent and if you enjoy a premium drink the wine list etc is unbelievable. I think there is a definite gap between Business and First although Business is good

I flew Emirates from BNE-DBX-BCN last year and the crew was very friendly and engaging. The food I had was delicious, although I pre ordered vegetarian online. Good video ✌🏻

Well i had mixed experiences. I went to Dubai from Zurich in October 2019. At the flight to Dubai the Food was okay and the staff was mostly friendly as well. But the flight back was one of the worst of my life. At the menu was written that you get a pre landing snack. I was really hungry and thirsty because the food was just really bad and half empty already. So i went to the Gally and asked if i could have a snack and something to drink. But nobody listened and they kept talking and consuming the snacks for the passengers. So i just helped my self because there was a coke bottle and glasses standing there and then they shouted at me that i should put it down....I asked 3 times before helping myself.

I think emirates chooses which destination where to upgrade their service.... with my experience in business class from Manila- Dubai. They use an old aircraft or the cabin is not updated. Like TV screens are not HD, no amenity kit, no slippers and the food is disappointing. I expected so much with emirates but it is not worth it( the manila- dubai leg) but if you are flying to destinations like singapore, paris, amsterdam... the cabin is new and they have amenity kits.... hope you try it josh to see it for yourself :)

Yes, Emirates is one of the most passenger friendly, hospitable airlines. Probably, number one in this category. Also very very clean. Though, I don't think, that I flew ever by the air lines, which are not clean, or unhygienic, but, through some reason, my recollecting impressions from Emirates, as the cleanest one... I wonder why... Probably, because Emirates do pay very careful attention to every detail of the service, including the toiletry... gels, soaps, etc..

Josh plz review PIA Business class
