Travel Day - Stansted To Dubai Flying With Emirates Are They Any Good? 

Emirates is fabulous! I had a medical emergency on board a flight once and when we landed I was taken off the plane at Dubai and put in a little golf cart, taken to a little hospital in the airport where I was treated till I was out of pain. We were worried about our connecting flight, but the doctor told us that if we missed it the airline would put us on the next one. We asked about the cost, but the treatment was free to Emirates passengers. The only thing we had to pay for were my prescription drugs at the airport pharmacy. We were treated with friendliness and courtesy throughout what should have been a horrible experience, but wasn't thanks to the airline. I would recommend Emirates to anyone.

It's so nice to see a realistic travel vlog... So many on here splashing the cash on super fancy upgrades etc. whereas you keep it real on a budget 😂. Excellent :) great as always Tim!

I can’t believe you didn’t even take a jacket or backpack on to the plane. I could never travel that light!!😅

I always love the bits when you are by yourself, and you put the camera somewhere to film you walking off / past like on the escalators. The uneditted footage must be brilliant with you just turning & running back to the camera each time! Keep up the great work tim! Love ya stuff.

Can’t beat emirates

I think everybody looks miserable at airports now because its so stressful on the fact there's a big chance your going to get cancelled or delayed. Gone are the days you used to get excited about going on holiday. Loving this vlog Tim. Can we know what the price was on the flight?

Emirates is the best economy class we've flown in, but I prefer their A380 to the B777. Dubai airport is ridiculously massive and it once took us half an hour to get to the gate! Look forward to your next video.

I was lucky enough to visit my daughters in Perth Oz, i flew Business Class ,omg it was out of this world,as i am disabled they took care of everything from my front door to my daughter's front door, a once in a life time experience as it cost me 3K,but i factured it in as my holiday in effect was free.ty for sharing ❤

Tim you are easily one of the best on RU-vid now bud

A few things to note: Emirates will let you choose any seat for free when check in opens (48h before dep). Emirates will only ever give free upgrades to platinum and gold members (silver very rarely), and if you ask for a free one then it’s an instant no. They always use the same gate at STN so need to wait for the gate to be displayed. They should soon be increasing the flights to STN on par with before Covid levels.

Another great video Tim. Thanks for taking us along on the flight with you. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip In Dubai.

I absolutely love how you are real in your thoughts and feelings bringing us literally along side you as if my family and I was traveling with you. Thank you.

Well your never going hungry on that route! Not only that ,the cabin crew uniform says quality.x

Flown with Emirates multiple times and they are by far the best. Why would you want to fly first class when their economy is so good?! Fantastic company that understands that if you want customers, you have to treat them well, and word will spread.

You did a great job with this one!Love to see something so real and specific.It’s a pleasure to see you bring us the world .Also , your wardrobe is very nice always professional. Your devoted fan from America

We were regular flyers with Emirates a few years back. Maybe three time a year. We were lucky enough to be upgraded three times. Wonderful experience. Out of every airline I have flown Emirates is up there for sure.

Great videos Tim always entertaining...Thank you

Always love the holiday videos, cant wait to see the waterpark video!

Great. We flew Emirates to Thailand via Dubai - great service, Thailand back to Dubai the staff were a bit tired and grumpy all the rest were great. We flew with 3 or 4 different airlines in Thailand ( internal) and they were wonderful, you get free food and drink on just over an hour's flight and lovely people.

Always enjoyable and interesting to view your travel vlogs. I have always understood that Emirates were a cut above all the others (well, you get what you ay for. Usually!) and I think you showed this was definitely the case, even in economy.

Great video, Tim. Good to see you on a long haul “legacy carrier” where you still get full service. Pleased to see that stanstead has now got emirates flights. They are timed to arrive in the middle of the night like that as so many people will use emirates to connect to destinations in Africa and Asia - these take off early morning to arrive the next day.

Love your travel vlogs Tim. I get to see places I will never get to go. Thanks so much .. hope you enjoyed your flight👏🏻👍

Personally my fave type of content you do love seeing the trip through the airport as we all know that can go real smooth or real difficult

Great video as always! Can’t wait to watch the rest of your Dubai videos! 😀

Great review as always! Thank you

Long haul from Settle to Johannesburg was an excellent experience. The lay over in Dubai was almost 6 hours so I received a complementary meal at the airport. If the layover is 8+ hours you get a sleeping room. The service is as shown right down to the sparkly ceiling and the amazing entertainment system. It was a shock navigating through the grim Joburg airport for my onward flight to George. 35 hours door to door made easier by the great service Emirates is so well known for

love these sort of videos .. i haven't been in a airport since i was 15 i'm now nearly 50 so theres so much that has changed

Amazing flight vid tim.loved it ✈️

Great tip re: security at Stansted Tim. We just went through the right hand entrance as recommended and straight through! Also no road closures from Norwich to Stansted at 2:30-4:00am on Sunday… 👍

My son took me for my 60th birthday. Emirates are a great airline and customer service in Dubai is second to none

I thoroughly enjoy your reviews. Bravo!!

Fantastic video as always Tim. I haven't been on a plane in 23 years, the airports and procedures have changed so much, I wouldn't have a clue what I was doing....I think I'll stay in good old blighty!! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your time in Dubai 👍

This was such a great video to watch - Loved it, thank you 😊

Strawberry and Redcurrant Crumble - worth the trip just for that! Though I was thinking would I want some custard on it too. Emirates have always been great value, they seem to have the newest planes. They used to codeshare with Qantas which is how I have experienced them, and a cute thing about that is that by way of that codeshare "Emirates" flights went to regional Australia. I've only transited through Dubai, but now I want to go there to see the baggage hall! Thanks for the video.

More videos like this just love your channel

The airport looks very nice and as for the plane it does look beautiful. Your food look good even the bathroom was nice. Good job as always Tim.

Great video 👍 absolutely love the content! Keep it going!

So much time and effort gone into this video and the editing. 👏🏼 good video and great work

That is a stunning video! It's nice to see you travelling to other parts of the world, especially Dubai. I'm also amazed at the fact that Emirates have served Stansted. As crazy as it sounds, they should expand to Luton. You make Dubai more exciting and less cringey. Challenge: I would love for you to visit India and possibly Australia.

First vlog that I watched of yours Tim.Very easy going and matter of fact …loved it ..All the best 👍

Hi Tim, I flew this route a few weeks ago with Emirates. When you check in on the day ask for a window seat and if there is a spare one you will get one free of charge

I live under the Birmingham flight path so hear the EK 777s a couple of times a day coming in to land (on a clear day I get a view of their red underbellies) Nice to see them closer up 😊

This vlog offers a great insight into the whple experience thank you

Loved flying emirates, flew with them around 4 times. Twice to dubai and then Hong Kong and Bangkok! Great airline. Emirates and JetBlue must be my favourite

Hi Tim. The airport when you arrived was amazing. I wish our airports were like that.

Fantastic travel day from Stansted to Dubai. Thank you Tim.

Great travel vlog. I love the way you have to walk past all the posh seats before you get to yours. Loving the originality of your Vlogs lately definitely a must watch channel.

I just love your videos Tim.... Always cheer me up😊

Enjoyed looking forward to some more

Thanks Tim, really enjoyed this video. I’ve just booked to fly from Stansted to Dubai with Emirates and your video has reassured me of what to expect 👍

Excellent video Tim, as usual. You have a great easy to follow style and I admire your lack of inhibition when filming, a good thing! I liked the small format camera, which one is it? Keep up the good watchable work.

Loved watching this! Palm trees in the airport!! Brilliant vlog.

It's all just on a different level, isn't it? I've been to and through Dubai half-a-dozen times, and the place never ceases to amaze me.

Jet 2 always fly from them gates in Stansted airport very nice lounge area. Awesome video 😊

Wow that airport was amazing enjoy your stay tim, can't wait to see your videos 😊

That was an interesting blog Tim. Wish I could afford Business class on Emirates, although economy looked OK and at least you got food provided. What a lovely airport at Dubai - baggage reclaim hall looked huge!

I've seen other videos of flights to Dubai on Emirates so I knew it would be good, but I didn't know that the taxi's were that chaotic! I'm looking forward to seeing the hotel and the rest of your trip , thanks Tim 

Your videos are always so high effort and quality!

A lot of the comparisons you made were against what you'd expect on short haul flights. Most long haul flights you'll only really board from the front doors through the the jet way and complimentary food and drink usually comes as standard. Full cutlery is a surprise though as that used to only be in premium economy and upwards on most airlines.

Love when you do these trips 👍 and what a airport! looking forward to seeing more of your trip 😁take care, Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🍁

Nice one Tim! Love Dubai, it’s our go to for a family getaway! Last October we stayed at The Obelisk for a week and they collected us & dropped us off by chauffeured Mercedes for a very small fee! No waiting around for taxis. Can’t wait to see what you get up to in Dubai. Enjoy, it’s fabulous!👏👏👏👍❤️

Tim well done another great video so excited for more xx

Wow, absolutely brilliant video, cant wait for the next one Tim👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎

Thanks Tim very interesting and great video as always look forward to the next Yvonne 😊

Ooh that was a cliffhanger Tim! The journey looked amazing & I can't believe the Airport with the Palm Trees in Dubai! You were very patient Tim during the longest queue for a Taxi ever! Totally out of this world I can't wait to see inside your Hotel in Dubai! Right it's Gabys vlog on next at 6pm! Enjoying this double bill!

Wow, what a beautiful Airport Tim

Thanks for compiling this video, Tim. Emirates must easily be STN's most prestigious airline. Can only be a matter of time before Emirates brings its A380 to the route. STN was equipped to handle the A380 years ago so no issues with the super jumbo.

Flying economy with Emirates is always pretty good. Reliable quality. Enjoyed the video!

Great video Tim. Stansted is my local airport but I always use Gatwick. Stansted is just so busy and there are always queues for security as well as immigration when you come back. We’re always straight through at Gatwick.

Always love your vlogs.

I really like these travel videos, they’re really fun 😊

Thanks for this Video Tim !👍👍👍👏👏

Enjoy dubai can't wait to see your adventures

Dubai airport is something ele. I love travelling through there. I have never seen your trip reports before. I would love to see more. I'm looking forward to seeing your adventures in Dubai.

You've come along way from Winterton to Dubai within 3 years of me watching your brilliant channel 🎉

Great video Tim, can’t wait for the next part 😃👍

Ohhhhh what a great vid. I can’t wait to see the rest. Tim needs his TV debut he’s just perfect.

Great video, not a bad flight, looking forward to seeing Dubai from an honest point of view 😀👍

you say thee SIM card is random but actually its such a good service. I live in Dubai, I always tell people to take the SIM card and use it. gives you the ability to call and use wifi/book taxis off the plane. can't imagine BA ever doing that! great airline, on a PA with QA economy which is also fantastic.

Tim, your travel vlogs are simply fantastic 🎉❤ xx

Tim I would like to see some more travel videos keep up the amazing work with the videos 😊

I’ve flown both upstairs and downstairs with Emirates. Easily my favourite airline. I gave up on asking for an upgrade a long time ago. I had a little success, early on, but never since. Upgrades are determined before you arrive at the airport, these days. Don’t expect that shiny gold card to help. Revenue comes first - the airlines have gotten very slick with this.

I find airport explorations very cool, expecially for the tips you give

Having been watching Sam Chui for a while you always get to see the First Class or Business Class areas (though he does plonk himself down in Economy for 5 minutes occasionally!) it's nice to get a review of the seats that most of us will travel in for the entire journey, and also a budget airline v luxury airline comparison rather than different flag carriers. Though he did visit the kitchen where your food was made in his last video!

Well very surprised about the toilets..being so clean and tidy after four hours travelling...it all brings back memories travelling to Saudi Arabia where we used to live

Tim you simply do the best travel sir and hotel videos anywhere thank you so much they cheer me up well done

Great Tim lots of snacks on the plane

Thank you for all your trips As I can’t afford getaways you truly make me feel I have been around the world

I’ve been upgraded for free a couple of times, but never because of asking. Both because they’d oversold economy and premium economy cabins, but business was pretty empty, so they started bumping passengers up with status holders firsts. (This was BA)

Mr Tim, in 2001 flying Kuwait Air between Bangkok and Kuwait City I was unknowingly upgraded to Business Class, it wasn't until I got on the plane and was told to turn left when I showed my boarding pass (it was a 747) that I realised. At the check in desk they had said nothing. My dear old mum had flown back a couple of weeks before me and the same happened to her. So free upgrades really do happen. The only sad thing is that Kuwait Air is dry, so no free champagne for me, but the food and service was superb.

What a great airline lovely plane Tim, can’t wait for the next vlog on your journey x

Nice one Tim - great video! 😊

as much as i hate flying , that flight looked really good,. dubai aiport looked a bit confusing though and those taxis , my word they were confusing too . i cant wait to see your hotel, i bet that was amazing

I didn't realise that Stansted had medium haul flights to such places and I thought it was just short haul.I think that I flew from Heathrow when I went to Dubai.

That was great Tim , looking forward to the follow on videos.

I already know I am going to love this series!! :)

Love watching your videos😊

Hello Tim good travel blogg hope that you have a fantastic time in Durbar take care stay safe xx ❤😊

Another great honest video Tim 👍

Thank god there'll be a hotel review. I can't wait!
