Dang Noel! For a guy who said he wanted to take it a little easier in 2025 you sure didn't waste anytime getting back into the air! You're a warrior man you're a warrior. A road (air?) warrior, and we appreciate you bro! BTW I watch both you and Non-stop Dan to gain different perspectives. It's good to see two UA-camrs in the same space getting along. Please remember to take care of yourself first in 2025!
As Noel and Dan agreed on, I don't think there's a zero-sum game when it comes to YT. I watch and follow both of them and enjoy them for different reasons!
Noel is awesome. Dan seemed drunk during your conversation. I don’t watch him anymore because I got tired of him shoving his Oscar and vegan crap to everyone. Seems like Oscar finally left him for a meat eating chic. IMO Noel, trek, Jen brooks, flip flop kevin, and Josh are the best travel UA-camrs. I think by far Noel, your work the hardest and take one for the team with some of the horrible trips that you purposely do to educate us.
Always enjoy seeing your interactions with subscribers, you always treat them kindly. Been turned off of many youtubers who get too big for their britches and think they're better then everyone.
He treats everyone that way, it's what I love about Noel. He treats everyone from taxi drivers (unless they're trying to rip him off) and hotel clerks the same as other UA-camrs and flight crews.
Hi Noel it’s only me - I live in a rehabilitation Centre as I suffer with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis and lupus - I’m either a big bound or wheelchair bound - I absolutely love watching your videos and some of the places you go to. I can only dream about but thank you for making me smile ~ I hope you had a great Christmas and a great New Year. Sending love and hugs to you and your family. ~ Xxx Xxx
You uploaded this an hour ago, I don’t think I’ve ever been able to watch a video this early, just before a lovely 12 hour night shift, thank you for another brilliant video Noel x
I watch both Noel and Dan. Great to see them bump into each other. I was smiling ear to ear because Noel sounded so happy with the flight and I love Emirates myself. Great video.
Noel, I am constantly amazed at how you never lose your excitement over air travel. Though your traveling in premium classes is old hat, you have the same excitement your followers would have if we were flying up front. You never act entitled, even on an invited flight. And it is great to see you interact with your fans. Nice to see Nonstop Dan on the video too.
What a cool flight! Hope EDI treated you well, it may be my 'local' airport, but also one of my least favourite! Great video mate and equally great to see this new aircraft :)
Really nice to meet you irl finally, nice to see my easyJet colleague made it into the video, had to get his autograph when he came into work today lol. Hope you had a great flight!
You were so lovely to the easyjet crew member Noel! You were the reason why he works in aviation!! That must feel good 😊I wanted to give him a hug when he got emotional! Here’s to a safe and prosperous 2025 for you! ❤
Hi Noel, I work for dnata Catering in the UK who catered your flight (we're actually part of the Emirates family, funnily enough). Shout out to one of our trucks @3:46 ❤. I am glad you enjoyed your meal! 😍
You got this video out fast Noel! The other year you did a questions video when flying BA to retain status and it inspired me to set up my own channel. So thanks Noel, you make it look easier than it is! Happy Travels!
Awesome video Noel. Your excitement came through. I would be too! What I particularly liked was that you were transparent about the support from Emirates, as well how you funded the rest. You have a good ethical compass and come across as a decent human being. Thankyou Noel.
I have to admit the A350 is a nice a/c to fly on , even in Cattle class at the back. I flew Air France from Paris to Ottawa last year. Would love to go Business one day.
WHATTTTTTT---so fun seeing my two favorite flight/travel youtubers meeting IRL! I follow both of you and you both have taught me a lot. Dan taught me a lot about business/first travel and the differences between planes. Sorry for this, Noel, but it's super fun to see you suffer on all the crazy marathons and extreme trips you go on. You end up in the wildest places, lol.
The A350 is an absolute dream to fly on, it's so much better than the dreamliner. Full transparency regarding the press flight. Great video as always 👍
@@Polon15 A350 and 787 compete directly. A350 has a little more range and can hold some more people. Otherwise, airlines buy them interchangeably, depending on who has the best price on the airframe and the engines. I like the A350 more than the 787 better because it's a little wider. Other than that, they are both very futuristic, carbon fiber airplanes. Can't wait for the 777x and wish Airbus still made the A380
Ive watched you both for years! You are different in how you present but I think you share similar values in what you do. Independent reviews (No Sam Chui!) and there’s a certain amount of tongue in cheek. You’re the best! (With Dennis Bunnik) ❤
I agree with you Noel. Best modern aircraft at the moment is A350. I fly mainly on Cathay Pacific, which have A350-900 & 1000 versions. You should review them when you get chance. Happy Travels 🙂
I love watching your videos Noel. Sadly I haven't been on holiday since 2019, I watch with envy when I see you flying around the world on these incredible planes. HNY to you and your family.
I was lucky enough to be on a kind of inaugural flight and a proper inaugural flight. First was when Emirates upgraded their A330.200 to a B777.300ER Newcastle to Dubai which was in economy...there was still a water cannon salute and a cake and stuff. The second was with Qatar from Schiphol to Doha in business class ..that was amazing, Qatar and Schiphol airport laid on food and singers. We all received goodie bags and plastic tulips. I was surprised Sam Chui wasn't on, then again he may have spoiled everyone's flight.
An absolute honour to see what emirates have done❤ not he most impressive first class in terms in privacy but still looks very relaxing, Thx Noel and keep it up!!!!!!!
Great video Noel. We came thru from lanarkshire to watch her come in and i can say was rather cold out! But was worth it to see this coming in. And even when she flew in we was amazed at how low the engine's sounded. Safe travels.
Fantastic opportunity 👏, thanks for sharing.....how inspiring as well, the lad in Edinburgh that got the airport job after seeing your content.... that is what it's all about 🎉
great watch over a Sunday roast Noel! thank you for making me (and i’m sure many others) be a fulfilling, entertaining and happy distraction from certain struggles and things in life, you rock :)
Looks much nicer than the slightly tired looking 777 they also have. Hope if I ever go to Dubai again, I get to go on the A350, although I must admit being on the A380 last time I went was also nice
This is so fun!!!, Noel thank you for showcasing the EK A350, it's cold and I'm not traveling anywhere in South Dakota at the moment, your adventuring spirit brightens my day a little bit!
All the best to u, Rachel & the family in 2025. What a great way to start the year on an inaugural flight! & finally another loo review. Hope u were able to get back stateside without a "what could possibly go wrong" moment or 2!
This was absolutely amazing trip. Emirates Travel to Dubai is definitely a bucket list trip for me. This was first class flight ✈️ A-350. Incredible experience to fly on Emirates. Happy new year Noel 🎉 Happy 2025 & Your journey & travels safely in the new year. Much love Noel ❤️❤️❤️
Hope you and the family had a good new year. Good to see you back on it again in the lovely A350. For dry January, have you tried dry gin, dry wine, and dry cider. Looking forward to the next video, where hopefully there's no rapping 😂
Love an A350. Tried the Q Suites before they were shut down. Emirates always solid. My favorite is the Iberia between LHR and MAD, makes 2.5 hours feel like 20 minutes.
Fantastic video Noel! What a way to kick off 2025! I love seeing how genuinely excited you get for these trips and what a treat it was to be on this inaugural flight. I always enjoy when you run into fellow UA-camrs too. Keep it up, love your videos!
Thank you Noel for this special inaugural flight. I was thinking whilst watching this must of been paid for because this would have been really expensive but like you and Dan said it was special on the beautiful A350.
Happy new year to you Noel and I hope you were able to recharge your battery a bit for a new year of travelling. What a great way to start the new year flying in this marvellous plane, it looks stunning. Thanks for another great video. 🤩
Happy New Year to you Noel. What a wonderful flight to be on, a fabulous A350 for you to explore. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for 2025 ❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ What an exquisite airline, from beginning in Scotland to end in Dubai. I've never in ten years seen you so enthusiastic, exuberant praising details every single minute. This airline should use your video to advertise all over the planet. I am sincere in saying your praise endorsement is priceless. P.S. In the final moment you mention you are being paid by them for every expense, so it is different from the 10 years of other flight reports since a house guest would never complain. Just kidding, mate.😂😂😂😂😂
A sea of avgeek faces, so cool❤ looked lovely. Flew Emirates 777 a few years ago and it was AWFUL so have never done Emirates again but that looked amazing
Hey Noel, nothing wrong with accepting an invitation, it was nice of them to invite you. Lovely plane too, looked very comfortable, glad you enjoyed it :)
A friend of mine (who actually already commented on this video) was onboard the first Emirates A350 flight from Dubai to Edinburgh. I would have gone to see it myself and filmed it but I was at work so I sadly couldn’t go see it. Fantastic video Noel! Edinburgh happens to be my local airport & you managed to catch a few familiar faces on camera as I used to work at EDI 😉
3:11 - I love the A350 too! Such a magnificent aircraft, having flown on Singapore's last year. The cabin is nice and not to mention the cockpit too! Hello from Singapore.
Great video Noel! EXQUISITE isn’t a big enough word!! WHAT AN EXQUISITE First Flight and video that’s to be sure! Love it and I’ll of course check out Dan and Dennis’ videos when they’re out too! Also I appreciate the upfront notice of Emirates paying for your flight as I think it doesn’t make the review or video much different but it is nice to know it as a heads up in advance! The Business Class cabin doesn’t look far different or better than anything in the existing Emirates fleet and that I think is a bit of a disappointing surprise, the BRAND NEW Airbus A350 seemed like a perfect platform to introduce an all new cabin interior I mean I know it only has Biz and Economy also Premium Economy which I now is “new” and so is the Economy cabin at the moment but they could have introduced an all new Business Class cabin on the A350 that would also carry over to the B777X when it eventually arrives which will feature a BRAND NEW First Class & Business Class product. The A350 could have been the launch for the new Biz cabin and then have the B777X adopt the same cabin and setup and just introduce the new First Class cabin but I digress… Perhaps when the B777X comes online in the coming years the A350s will get the all new Business Class cabin renovation too! Cheers 🥂 mate! Still really loved the video! Also plz check out your DMs on Instagram I’ve sent you several messages and I’d appreciate any answer ASAP! -Caleb’s Aviation
I was surprised that it was the first time you met NonStopDan. I watch both of your videos. Yes, you really have different styles and content. As I see it, you are more on the adventurous and humorous side, the airline products reviews are almost secondary in your videos. NonStopDan is more focused on the reviews while still keeping a mostly positive and light vibe.
It has always been my dream to take an inaugural flight...any first flight. Hopefully one day I am able to experience it as I am no spring chick any more. Great video, I loved it! 🎉🤗🎉
I'm a huge 350 fan as well - in terms of layout I still prefer the BA business as you can close yourself off more especially in that little business section in the middle with a window seat on the 1000. I will say the soft product looks amazing on Emirates.
In just under four weeks, i'll be flying both a A350-1000 and then a 787 on Qatar QSuites. Thanks to this video I have more confidence i'll survive the 15.5hrs from SF to Doha now ;)
That's probably the most relevant of your videos I've watched to date, as I'm only just over 3hrs from Edinburgh on the train - a very useful connection for long haul travel (normally it would be a domestic flight to Heathrow & connect there). My Dad used to get to fly business class with Emirates when he worked in the Middle East many (over 20) years ago & he always had to take a connection through London - he would have loved this service, I'm sure! I'd certainly consider it when I (hopefully) get to do some long haul travelling in the future. Chicken Balmoral IS good, isn't it👌
I have been on the inaugural flight from Austrian Airlines back in the days to London City Airport. I only noticed when they handed out chocolate saying so on it. Otherwise there where no sign of it found anywhere during the flight. It was with a Fokker 100 plane back then
Lovely to see you. I do hope you slow down a bit this year. You looked so worn out at the end of 2024. Seems like a great flight. Glad you got a seat on the first one. Edinburgh seemed like a lovely airport with lots of friendly people. Hoping 2025 is your best year ever. Especially since you’ve got 1 million miles to travel on. 🤗
So fun reliving this flight! It was an absolute pleasure finally meeting in person Noel🙌
You should so do a collaboration together soon. Perhaps you with Noel on a bus!!😂
Will you make a video about this flight? Also love the content
Excellent to see you both in the same video.
Two of my favourite flight reviewers and… leaving from my home town.
Amazing
@@fishy_jaka3639his short is already up ;)
Love Dan and Noel! Great UA-camrs!!
My heart melted seeing that young lad at 5:16 talk to Noel about the impact he's made. A short convo but you could really feel the energy between them
Loved this. People don't realise how much youtube helps some people.

@FalconX88 I watch them both long time

I agree, there are so few channels on YoutlTube and BILLIONS of people in the world! You both are great!
Watch SanSpotter as well he is less known but a good guy.
Always enjoy seeing your interactions with subscribers, you always treat them kindly. Been turned off of many youtubers who get too big for their britches and think they're better then everyone.
He treats everyone that way, it's what I love about Noel. He treats everyone from taxi drivers (unless they're trying to rip him off) and hotel clerks the same as other UA-camrs and flight crews.
Referring to a certain JC by any chance?
People love Noel for a reason, he really is a GREAT person! Keep up the great work!
Frisco, TX
Yes!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖
Hey there neighbor - I'm from Plano :) I agree, he is an awesome person. The young guy melted my heart when he greeted him.

Cool for Emirates to invite you along! I love how airlines are partnering with aviation geeks to share all of our love of aviation.

Glad it was helpful!

I would be too!
What I particularly liked was that you were transparent about the support from Emirates, as well how you funded the rest.
You have a good ethical compass and come across as a decent human being.

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.
Have to say Noel I love the emirates air host/hostess uniform, it is so pretty and they always look so good

5:00 I literally watch you both. Dan is right. Completely different vibes. Both fun to watch
Great piece of equipment The A350. Nimble, fast, safe. Completed many long hauls on the A350.
Patrick Shea was on the arriving inaugural flight

Great to have you back Noel. HNY
great watch over a Sunday roast Noel! thank you for making me (and i’m sure many others) be a fulfilling, entertaining and happy distraction from certain struggles and things in life, you rock :)
I loved seeing you with Dan. I watch both of you and you are both great! The differences are what make each of you fun and enjoyable.
Looks much nicer than the slightly tired looking 777 they also have. Hope if I ever go to Dubai again, I get to go on the A350, although I must admit being on the A380 last time I went was also nice
This is so fun!!!, Noel thank you for showcasing the EK A350, it's cold and I'm not traveling anywhere in South Dakota at the moment, your adventuring spirit brightens my day a little bit!

Looking forward to the next video, where hopefully there's no rapping 😂
Love an A350. Tried the Q Suites before they were shut down. Emirates always solid. My favorite is the Iberia between LHR and MAD, makes 2.5 hours feel like 20 minutes.
Great video! Appreciate the honesty regarding the free flight!

That looked particularly good Mister P. I'd expect Emirates Business Class to be very good but that Balmoral Chicken just knocked it out of the park.

Crazy how Patrick Shea was on the inbound flight and now its Dan and Noel on the outbound flight
And Dennis Bunnik on the ramp. Diabolical! We just needed Jeb Brooks
And josh cahill
Because they get paid by the airline..
Not paid, but they did comp the flights.
I was surprised that it was the first time you met NonStopDan.

It'll be fun to watch non-stop Dan his diet is completely different from yours. This is so cool I am so proud of you guys.
In just under four weeks, i'll be flying both a A350-1000 and then a 787 on Qatar QSuites. Thanks to this video I have more confidence i'll survive the 15.5hrs from SF to Doha now ;)
That's probably the most relevant of your videos I've watched to date, as I'm only just over 3hrs from Edinburgh on the train - a very useful connection for long haul travel (normally it would be a domestic flight to Heathrow & connect there).
My Dad used to get to fly business class with Emirates when he worked in the Middle East many (over 20) years ago & he always had to take a connection through London - he would have loved this service, I'm sure!
I'd certainly consider it when I (hopefully) get to do some long haul travelling in the future.
Chicken Balmoral IS good, isn't it👌
Hope your well rested Noely,happy new year to you and your family.Well done mate.Regards south coast.
I absolutely love your haircut❤❤❤
It was great seeing Dan in your video! Your two channels are my favorite two UA-cam aviation channels!
Great to see you back. You were definitely burned out in the last video. Happy New Year x
My my you got this up fast Noel!! Nice video thank you
Brilliant, mate! Absolutely brilliant! Hoping for a fantastic 2025 for you and Rach and family.
I LOVE when you do your northern accent - Yorkshire is my favorite (I'm from Texas🤠) . Thanks for the awesome videos - and the mini MIB concert :)
Haha fancy meeting up with non stop Dan! Love watching both vids.
Noel Phillips, best airline travel content on UA-cam! Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Noel, Dan, Josh and Jeb, those are the avgeek UA-camrs that I watch.
Same
I have been on the inaugural flight from Austrian Airlines back in the days to London City Airport. I only noticed when they handed out chocolate saying so on it. Otherwise there where no sign of it found anywhere during the flight. It was with a Fokker 100 plane back then
Lovely to see you. I do hope you slow down a bit this year. You looked so worn out at the end of 2024. Seems like a great flight. Glad you got a seat on the first one. Edinburgh seemed like a lovely airport with lots of friendly people. Hoping 2025 is your best year ever. Especially since you’ve got 1 million miles to travel on. 🤗
Absolutely love this bird. The a350 🤩
That kid was wholesome 😊
For someone who suffers from air sickness, you provide the perfect solution. One long haul flight a year is enough for me
