Trip Report | Phuket - Dubai | Emirates Business Class | Boeing B777-300ER 

That is precisely one of my favorite things about living here. And I’ve made the very best out of it since I ever arrived, specially on my off days. I know that one day I’ll miss being so close to Asia, ME, Africa and Australia that I keep traveling whenever I can. I encourage you to head this way for a couple of years as an experience! Thanks for the comment Kay!

same lmao i live in vancouver and going anywhere outside the americas takes at least 9.5 hours

Happy to hear that, thanks for popping by!

Gracias amigo mío!

And I saw those villa’s on my way to the beach, oh my God! Why would you leave the room?😂

Always respect the people that serve you food..!😀 And this food beinh catered in Phuket was pretty good! We’re stuck in a tube for many hours so I always bring something if I have the chance. Thank you for watching my friend!

@@TheLayoverAviation And they are NOT just there to serve you food and besides how many people have done this besides you that is to bring food? Can you bring pizza on board for them to eat or would they ask you toss that out in thinking you stick your hands in there and now you bring it on board in getting everyone sick with your germs?

I actually fly Emirates over 50% of the time, as I live in Dubai.. I have so many videos with them but can’t just publish them! I have a nice Business Class experience on the A380 coming up soon for you!😎

Thanks Nandini, I am very happy you like these little details! I love sharing them with people that enjoy it just like me. Regards from Seychelles!

Happy to hear Paul! More great experiences to be shared with you all very soon!

Gracias amigo! Glad you liked it. The destinations are something I always wonder when I see planes around so I just check on my live radar and add the info for you all as well 😄 I don’t think there will ever be a better startup sound as even the new B777-9X seems to have some annoying long start up sound like the B787.. Take care!

Happy you like them Shabbir! I’ll keep making more😁

The sounds of course depend on where you’re seated, the aircraft type, weight, etc. Have a lot of fun!

I’m very happy to hear that Paul! Emirates is my second home so it’s so much easier for me to make video’s there as I walk around like I own the plane😂. Emirates is along with KLM always special for me. It just can’t go wrong. While of course there are some better products out there it’s just home on EK. More of Emirates to come, I just feel sorry to over-publish them😂

@@TheLayoverAviation that’s awesome, I like KLM too but I do have a soft spot for BA it is our main countries airline and I have flown with them plenty of time and have a had great times with them. I’m glad to here that as I love EK too ✈️👍

How about even better ones?!

Thanks a ton for the comment! Very happy you liked it

Very happy you did! Thank you for watching.

Thank you very much for the compliment Richard, I really appreciate!

Thanks Wensly, glad you likes it.

Welcome! Very happy you joined, have fun!

I love it, but somehow I miss the RR engines on the Emirates B777-300’s..

I love it too, can never get enough of it!😍

Merci Marc, I appreciate it!!

Thanks Jelmer!! Always happy to see you around.

I’m glad you do! I can’t always come up with something, but I do my best 🙂

Very kind of you Muhammad! Thanks buddy!

Thanks Usama! Always one of the first 💪🏼

A great company indeed!

Thanks Anmar!

Two great ones you’re flying there, I trust you’ll have a great time! Looking forward to that video. The shops and everything opened the day I arrived! It’s not yet full in any kind of way so it’s a great time to visit.

@@TheLayoverAviation sounds awesome tyvm!

Emirates makes it so easy!!

Always great Sameed! It’s one airline where I consistently have a great time.

Life is whatever we get to enjoy! Some people actually despise flying around, I’ve met plenty of business travelers that actually rather stay home. I get to do what I love so yes, very happy! Thank you for the comment Efrem!!

Thank you Ravi, beautiful comment! Fuel to keep me to do more 💪🏼 Love back from Barcelona!

Happy you did!

Nice to see you around Flip! I recently flew Business to Amsterdam on the A380 and will publish the video soon! I hope it’s prior to your flight so you can see where the ship (A380 of course😛) is sailing. What a nice long trip you have ahead, it sounds exciting! I wish the direct Auckland returns though.. The limo service is a nice perk indeed, I think Emirates is one of the few who still offer it.. Bedankt Flip!

Muchas gracias Samuel, me alegro que te sigan gustando! Tengo muchas ganas de ir a Colombia, el problema es que mi trabajo no me manda por allí y en mi tiempo libre Colombia queda lejos de Dubai.. Pero iré algún día seguro! Un abrazo amigo!

I have to watch it again Alex. I’m a big Matrix fan and watched it over 70 times for sure, but this one just felt off.. Far too many changes..! Maybe I should start doing 2 second movie reviews.. Thanks for the comment!

Yeah, I too liked The Matrix but all its sequels have been cashgrabs(including this one). And the ''2 second movie review idea'' is quite interesting too.

I’m very happy it is! It’s my life passion, so I’m grateful to be able to share it with people like me.

Ah man so jealous! I really want to go to Japan.. Hope you had a nice flight. Enjoy all the Japanese food 😢

And it most certainly was!

Cheers mate! Wait for the coming EK A380 in Business Class.. this was just the appetizer!

Gracias amigo! Justo me acordé hoy de tí ya que he volado por México. Fuí en Volaris. Tendría que haber elegido Viva Aerobus como tú! Un abrazo!

@@TheLayoverAviation Genial Alejo! Pásala muy bien en 🇲🇽 También he querido probar Volaris mucho! La elegiré la próxima que vaya a MEX. Me encanta el livery. Enjoy!

Thanks! All the best with the football shortly!

Can’t wait to fly to Japan! As soon as they fully open up I’ll be on my way. Thanks for writing 😃

Hey Mortuza, thanks for the comment. I just use my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I have some fancy camera but the phone is just the easiest. I flew Emirates to JFK 2 weeks ago, had a lovely time on board! I wish you a happy flight, have a lot of fun!

Merci a toi!

Thanks like always for being one of the first to watch!

@@TheLayoverAviation 🥰

Nice hearing from you Abdur! Thanks for the comment yet again. Wait for the A380 Business Class video. I was in paradise!!

@@TheLayoverAviation ohh man I cannot wait upload NOW!!!!! lol 😂 it’s my pleasure

You are Abdul! Thanks for watching!

@@TheLayoverAviation ❤️❤️🤝🏾

Thanks Hernan!

@@TheLayoverAviation 👍💪

always

It is more powerful indeed but not yet comercially operating. Looking forward to flying that plane!

Do you have some music ideas? I’m open to some!

Me neither Sabra!🤩

Dear Homer, such a pleasure to arrive in Dubai and find your comment. Thank you for the compliments. The long narratives must be thanks to my inevitable Spanish talking-machine genetics. I am just very excited to finally find a group of people who I can share my passion with so I take it all out. I’ll try to turn it down a little, always appreciate your feedback. I learn from the best! Regarding the 2-3-2, yes, it’s incredibly outdated. I know that it is what brings the money but everyone else around just improved the hard product. I am very much looking forward to the new Business Class that will be announced. I have incredibly high expectations as they just need to wow the world again. (it will be 1-2-1). I did not mention the 2-3-2 because it’s just something Emirates is far too well known for and their biggest weakness. I think all of us know and dislike this concept in 2022. It’s something I’ve written Emirates incredibly much about, or told employees, that to mention it yet again would be repetitive for me. But yes, for the wider audience I should have. On the other hand, I have flown fully enclosed suites in Business Class and never felt that lonely on a 14 hour long flight.. I kind of missed the interactions with anyone. I flew yesterday from Mexico to Madrid and enjoyed a 5 hour long chat with my Mexican seat neighboor. It all depends on our preferences and personality I guess.. Thanks again for writing and I keep looking forward to your video! Until then, best regards from your EU friend!

We’re a good team!! 😃 If seated in the first row in First Clasd you can actually hear the noises from the flight deck!

See Abdul, I was expecting your answer! Yes, I love Pakistani mangoes too, I always have some at home. My son loves them too. Also from India. They are widely available in Dubai. The thing is that the Thai mango is just a melt in the mouth sweet. And in Dubai they are a luxury product. I’m sure I haven’t tried enough and don’t know enough of the matter, but if you know any particular mango type to try please let me know and I will! Thanks for the comment!

@@TheLayoverAviation Type = chaunsa. Let me know how you like it!

Hvala Ivan!! I guess your a RM fan due to some Croat kicking some ass in Madrid?!😎 I like football and was about to watch the match (I was in Mexico) but due to insane jetlag I completely passed out an hour before.. Happy Madrid won though!! See you around!

It’s open again Ross!

I absolutely agree on the Trents for the A330’s! Those are in my top 3 for sure!

@@TheLayoverAviation yesss, i really like them on the iberia a330 carriers, idk why, would love to see a vid on it one day tho

0:08 I do want some more! Why not an Airbus A380? Where are those type of aircraft?

0:25 Finally! An Airbus A380!

Still looking very much forward to visiting Pakistan! At the moment I have Bangladesh planned and hope Pakistan does follow shortly after. Thanks for the comment!

I definitely will but I’m waiting for a great fare. It looks incredibly good from what I have seen!

@@TheLayoverAviation Ohhh right, the fares are currently all over the place, I was on ek's website and I saw 10k per person for economy?! wow! Until then! Good day!

Coming very soon my friend! Just need to start editing that video😎

will love to see it

I’ve done it already before, waaaay to long! I don’t know what to do for 16 hours!😵‍💫

I went to Thailand twice, and I got twice a ticket in Business, so it’s actually two separate flights on the same route! It would be boring to publish the same video twice so I mixed them up. Thanks for the comment!

@@TheLayoverAviation Ok got it. Thanks

Thank you Eric, hope you get to go soon! It’s called the Angsana Laguna Hotel.

@@TheLayoverAviation thank you so much!

You are completely right, the A380 experience is a whole different world. I have a video about to be published on it😎 I don’t really mind any, am happy with the window, but I understand it does to others. (Although the bar is a big fun bonus) I hope they get a more consistent Business Class on the whole fleet in the near future.

Of course you’re allowed to take it! Whatever is handed out is yours to keep.

@@TheLayoverAviation I think the amenity kit is given to first and business class only? Am I right? The economy passengers are not provided this kind of kit. correct?

@@anaa2054 Yes my Dear... By the way, where are you from?

I mentioned how I had to take the same flight twice for work, so it’s two flights mixed into one.

There were 2 times the same flight! I took it twice over the period of 2 weeks, so I thought it would be cool to combine it. I can’t eat that much!

Sorry to hear! Was it the same pancakes? They were quite sweet, and I’m not a sweets person, but I loved how different it was to the usual pancakes or breakfasts I get on other airlines. I agree on upping the game and I believe very good thinks are coming soon! Until then have a nice one!

Thanks for agreeing! When I first saw the endless breakfast possibilities in the Philippines I was converted! Thanks for watching Primadya!

Very nice one as well but quite rare!

I would love to see myself doing that too! Hopefully soon!

@@TheLayoverAviation i cant wait

I use an app where I can see all live traffic on my phone. I write it down or I check the registrations out when I’m editing. It’s extra work but worth it! Destination wise the network is almost back to its old self, frequencies however I think are at 70% or so.. Don’t know exactly! But glad to see it’s returning back to normal.

@@TheLayoverAviation What is the name of the app that you use to check all live traffic? You are probably right, 70% frequency is at its dot.

Dear Khaja, I don’t really know which airline to choose as it depends on who I am with, how I feel and where I am going. My favorite from childhood memories is KLM. They always treated me great and allowed me as a child to take off and land in the cockpit, so they have a special place in my heart. At Emirates I always have a great fun time. Friendly crew and good service. It’s also the best airline to travel with if you go with kids. Air France is so French and chic, when I want to spoil myself I go there. Singapore Airlines is just so perfect. Qatar Airways is lavish and professional. Really nice but sometimes not so professional is more fun. It all depends on what I feel like! I book the tickets from many sources.. I spend hours looking for the best tickets from various websites with VPN. I’ll show in my next video!

@@TheLayoverAviation thanks dear

@@TheLayoverAviation you don't like Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar..??

I know😍 But also the Rolls Royce Trents for the A330 and B777 ❤️ ✈️

@@TheLayoverAviation yes yes of course. But for me, size matters. That's why I could never run an airline. I'd order big engine everything 🙂.

Hahah! I would do the same, just order planes which I like how they look insead of taking the costs and economics into consideration 😂

Just the iPhone 13 pro max Janette. Phones are in my opinion much easier to use vs professional cameras on planes.

I edit everything on my iPad Madhav. Thank you for watching!

@@TheLayoverAviation which country are you from

Spain 🇪🇸

Secret agent like James Bond 😎 I work in the tourism and hospitality industry.

I make sure that whatever I do includes having to fly: I have a wife from a different country so we go there a lot, I have a family that is scattered around, I moved to Dubai to be able to travel more, I choose flying and filming as a hobby and my job is a big travel giant which requires me to travel! All planets have aligned!😂

Hey again Adam. It’s part of my job, hobby and life.. I made the right career choices that would all involve me traveling. Of course the wife and kid tag along quite often, I even get to film with them. I can’t film with him alone any longer as he’s a busy kid, so I film in installments. I have a massive backlog of video’s to be released. Some of them with the family. You’ll see soon!

VN editor for iPad Pro. It’s a free app and works fine for me!

No food is left to waste☝🏼 Don’t worry; I exercise plenty to be able to do this😂. Thanks for watching!

To use in the plane. I don’t think they would miss them if they’re gone but they won’t work at home anyway as they are an aircraft 3 powered plug ones. They won’t work without external power.

@@TheLayoverAviation oohk really thanks for replying all the best for future ☺️❤️

😊

I only heard of the A340-500 in Melbourne and it still took off.. But late

@@TheLayoverAviation well I only heard the 777 incident so

Ah that one yes, but it kind of happened landing..

@@TheLayoverAviation kinda?? You had kinda incident

Dubai 🇦🇪

Why not? I’m always busy filming and crew always help me out, so I give at least something back..

Bulkhead is when you have the wall in front of you. It’s a word that comes from the ship world, like many other words in aviation, such as “galley”, “Captain”, “Purser”, etc.

@@TheLayoverAviation Those of the words I am not familiar with, except for captain.

So yes, many words in aviation are borrowed from ships! Even the uniforms, that’s why pilot uniforms resemble sea officer uniforms!

Well Anas, here is the cool part: 0! My company paid it for me!

Yes, I’ve flown on it before just not filmed it!

@@TheLayoverAviation Is the service even better than on the regular Emirates Airbus A380-800? By the way, the Airbus A380 I was talking about was A380-861 and probably not A380-800 (I think, I don't know, maybe it might be the case).

The service is the same, what differentiates is the seat and the on board lounge. I’ll have an EK A380 video coming up in the next 2 weeks or so.
