The thumbnail & price got my attention to this video! For starter I love how you did that face on the thumbnail, reminds me of the scream painting or the Home Alone scream and that made me chuckle at lot seeing that! 🤣 Other than that, amazing review! The lounge, the food in it, about Emirates A380s, how the crew are so friendly when welcoming you in your compartment, all the wonderful amenities and things you can do inside your first class compartment such as inflight entertainment, the window control and seat/bed control! The bathroom on the plane, the bar in the sky, the food and drink you get on the plane, and your opinion on it was very useful, I thoroughly enjoyed it! It must be a luxury travelling in First Class, especially when its way more affordable than it normally is!
Thank you for watching the entire video! And yes, I was surprised how affordable this sector is. I'm glad I booked it! Definitely the best flight I've ever had.
Thank you!! Yeah there are actually quite a few fifth freedom routes out of Bangkok Ethiopian Airlines does Addis Ababa - Bangkok - Hong Kong Gulf Air does Bahrain - Bangkok - Singapore Eva Air Taipei - Bangkok - Vienna, Amsterdam, London Bhutan Airlines Bangkok - Kolkata - Paro
Thanks again Rory for another detailed video. Another vlogger recently reported on the same flight in first class. The lack of caviar was noted and the vlogger noted that the catering was more business than first class (on this particular sector of course). But the food you were served looked authentic enough for first class ! FYI Etihad recently brought back the A380 and initially it will be limited to the London route. The Residence class returns but minus the butler.
Yeah I’d say the food and beverages are definitely first class. Would love to try out the residence one day! If Etihad could also make it more affordable 😅
Hi Rory thank you very much for the video of the A380. I love this plane and for Emirates is the best. Like you said the crew always go that little bit more, and very friendly. How good is that having a shower on a plane.Hope you enjoyed your trip.
One great advantage of the thicker wall on the A380 is it makes the cabin enormously quieter than any other plane I've flown on. But, yes, the view suffers.
Excellent review Rory and what a steal price wise. Emirates get some negative remarks on their old cabin with the gloss walnut and the gold bling, but passengers are mainly interested in the food and wine to make it better than club / business. The lounge buffet circular thing looked exceptional, thanks for doing a bit of everything on the hot menu. So many choices You can tell I like eating.
Another very enjoyable review. I've been lucky to fly Emirates First over a dozen times, and it is superb. Just out of interest, did you ask if amenity kits were available? I understand on short flights they are not offered, but may be available if requested.
No, you can stay in Hong Kong for up to 90 days without a visa You’ll need a visa if you go to China (there’s border control between Hong Kong and China)😊
Awesome! How did you manage to do all that in 3 hr flight? I have flown business 3 times on the JFK-MXP route which is around 7:30-8:30 hrs and I feel like I can’t never do everything I want. I’m scheduled to fly them in first EWR-ATH in November but it’s on the 777; I can’t wait!!
Thank you for this lovely and informative video Rory. Whilst I am sure it would be a fabulous experience, I think the price is still rather dear for just a 3 hours flight. If I can get a cheap deal for a long haul , it would be a once in lifetime opportunity to take up for sure..
I traveled from Istanbul to Dubai on an A380, last month. What an amazing aircraft it is. You bought back great memories with this Vlog so thank you. Emirates are reasonably priced for First Class compared to many other airlines. The only thing is the land portion, a lot of other airlines designate someone to escort you through the process of check in and take you to the plane or lounge. Emirates First Class lounge in Dubai is beyond amazing. Cheers Rory.
I totally agree! I've travelled A380 a couple of times with Singapore aiways from Melbourne to Singapore a few years ago. It is the BEST aircraft ever built!
I took a round-trip flight on this sector a few years ago. Yes, the shower was the most unique product of Emirates & is highly impressive & unforgettable. I think Emirates have suspended First Cls on this route for a while but it's glad the service has resumed now. Looking forward to seeing more incredible airlines service 😊
Flew to Manila with my wife last March on Emirates from Manchester business class. We were both amazed by Emirates customer service, this includes ground staff which was so helpful. Even though Emirates is polished experience we prefer Cathay Pacific business class because we can do Man to HKG direct
Amazing video Rory, this flight is now on my list to do on atleast buisness class! Question on your filimg kit, is your main camera a Sony ZV-1 2 with the shooting grip? it looks amazing for its size, how do you like it?
My main camera is go pro, and I use the Sony ZV-E10 to film the food. I bought it because it was more affordable than many other models, but the camera lacks in-body stabilisation, so I couldn’t use it when walking around. I Would’ve definitely bought a better camera if I knew
Really enjoyed this video Rory. Very impressed with the Emirates experience. Having just travelled economy with Emirates to London from Singapore & back on the A380, I also was suitably impressed with the food & service. This might be the way I also get to experience 1st Class on Emirates. The price u paid for the product was very reasonable. Thanks for the thorough video, safe travels Rory
@@RoryDing Thank you for your kind reply to my comment. I retired early from my job as adoctor early dueto diagnosis Alzheimer's 2 years ago... My plans to travel in retirement hve been stopped due to another sudden progress health condition. You can imagine how much I I enjoy each and every one of your adventures, most planned for myself. I'm glad you are doing these when you can...,..Roger
Awesome video as always one Question do you know how they get the exterior live footage of the aircraft at 20:04 ? It looks like ground footage I could be wrong by the angle I’m looking at it by. Anyways thanks in advance
Eva Air ( Taiwanese airline) Also has a 5th Freedom flight from Europe. I experienced this with a Flight from AMS to BKK, with the flight continuing onwards to Taipei with new crew a few hours later.
This was marvelous trip with you being a young person you really know your bussiness l really love emirates such class and elegance you got everything covered looking forward to see more of your videos cheers jerry usa
Although they don’t offer limo to every city they fly to They do offer limo on flights from Bangkok to Dubai I feel like it’s more of a cost issue as normally a first class ticket would cost around $5k, and bkk-hkg and chc-Syd are way cheaper.
Awww... I'm trying to book this route in first class and looking at all Jan/Feb dates with no luck for first class, only business. Was there a specific way you booked this? or am I just too late to book these

A few minutes in and already this has been super interesting and very helpful. Also the first time I've heard of fifth freedom routes.
Thank you!!
Yeah there are actually quite a few fifth freedom routes out of Bangkok
Ethiopian Airlines does Addis Ababa - Bangkok - Hong Kong
Gulf Air does Bahrain - Bangkok - Singapore
Eva Air Taipei - Bangkok - Vienna, Amsterdam, London
Bhutan Airlines Bangkok - Kolkata - Paro

Very nice suite. That was a nice appetizer.
I Havent Experience Emirates A380 First Class suites Yet.I Love Bar Aboard.Great Trip Report
Thanks for the ride. Those chocolates at the end look scrumptious.
Thank you for bringing this affordable route to my attention, it's now on my short list
Love your journeys! ❤
Hi Rory thank you very much for the video of the A380. I love this plane and for Emirates is the best. Like you said the crew always go that little bit more, and very friendly. How good is that having a shower on a plane.Hope you enjoyed your trip.
Thank you! I absolutely did! Would love to do it again 😂😊
Looks like you had a great time.
I did
Thank you 😊
വീഡിയോ പങ്കുവെച്ചതിൽ വളരെയധികം നന്ദി
Very enjoyable and insightful - great job, Rory!
Thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing your journey, Rory.
One great advantage of the thicker wall on the A380 is it makes the cabin enormously quieter than any other plane I've flown on. But, yes, the view suffers.
Yeah! I do love how quiet and smooth it is on take off!
Excellent review Rory and what a steal price wise.

You can tell I like eating.
Fantastic impression of Monet's The Scream in that thumbnail.
😅
another great video rory, nice thumbnail face as well lol
😅
The excellent presentation..especially food in the lounge
Hi Rory 👋 I absolutely enjoyed this journey with you and you again presented this perfectly. Well done Rory 👏
Thank you John 😊 hope this video would convince you to book a flight in the future 😀😂
Another very enjoyable review. I've been lucky to fly Emirates First over a dozen times, and it is superb. Just out of interest, did you ask if amenity kits were available? I understand on short flights they are not offered, but may be available if requested.
I didn’t think of asking! I’d definitely do that if I get to travel with them in first class again!
Wow, what a wonderful trip report, can I ask what film equipment you use and what editing system you use please? New sub btw
Hi I mainly use a GoPro and I use Sony ZV-E10 to film the food.
I used Final Cut Pro to edit my videos 😊
Love your videos
food in first class is great
Great stuff mate! Do you need a visa to enter Hong Kong on a Australian or Kiwi 🥝 passport? Safe travels 😊
No, you can stay in Hong Kong for up to 90 days without a visa
You’ll need a visa if you go to China (there’s border control between Hong Kong and China)😊
@@RoryDing Do they take your mobile phone off you at customs and download all of your info like they do in China on arrival?
What is the most frustrating airport you have ever been to
Manila, Dhaka, Cairo are definitely on my list 😂
ฉันชอบการบรรยายวีดีโอของคุณ
Nice video ! How to know if caviar is available or not ?
Why was caviar not available? Due to other passenger selection?
Dude back again in bangkok
Awesome! How did you manage to do all that in 3 hr flight? I have flown business 3 times on the JFK-MXP route which is around 7:30-8:30 hrs and I feel like I can’t never do everything I want. I’m scheduled to fly them in first EWR-ATH in November but it’s on the 777; I can’t wait!!
Enjoy your flight!
It was all very rushed! I wish the flight was longer 😂
Do you plan on flying Cathay Pacific next? Since you will be flying from Hong Kong ?
I have already travelled with them
I’ll upload the video in a few weeks 😊
@@RoryDing niceee!!
cant wait for that review
Suvarnabhumi = TELUGU language 🇮🇳 meaning "( Golden land or land of gold )
Reduce co2 emissions immediately
Flying on an A380 is optional. ☠️
Well-deserved to offset your prior bad flight experience..
It’s way too short to enjoy anything. Not worth at all.
Rory your videos are always outstanding and so informative. Thanks for doing this. Cheers mate.
Thank you ☺️
Hey Rory , finally have a Emirates A380 review!! Love it! Welcome to Hong Kong!
Thank you 😊
Thank you for this lovely and informative video Rory. Whilst I am sure it would be a fabulous experience, I think the price is still rather dear for just a 3 hours flight. If I can get a cheap deal for a long haul , it would be a once in lifetime opportunity to take up for sure..
Love your work Rory, this is a long way from the XPT Train in OZ. 🤣
Absolutely 😅
Awesome Rory! - I learnt that well, I could afford at least one first class trip this lifetime! Thank you!

Very interesting Rory. I think it would be great fun at the Emirates bar in the sky with a bunch of people from Adelaide and Rory as our bartender.
Emirates 1st never gets old. Really great review. BTW - your English is really great too.
There may not be caviar, but there as Hennessy Paradis at over $800 a bottle. Worth an after meal glass or two.
Yes I should’ve had more drinks! The flight was too short! Would love to do it again! 😅
Caviar back now!
Thank You Rory fabulous review again ! maybe a video about all the fifth freedom flights in the world is needed, this is a gem of a find ! :)
I took a round-trip flight on this sector a few years ago. Yes, the shower was the most unique product of Emirates & is highly impressive & unforgettable. I think Emirates have suspended First Cls on this route for a while but it's glad the service has resumed now. Looking forward to seeing more incredible airlines service 😊
Years ago I flew Emirates between BKK and MNL in J Class
It was like $50 USD extra, so I jumped on it. What a difference!
Boa viagem rosy lindo avião amirante a 380 oi rosy gostei gostei dessa jornada com você novamente 11:35 apresentou isso
Thank you 😊
Another great video thanks Rory!!
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Flew to Manila with my wife last March on Emirates from Manchester business class. We were both amazed by Emirates customer service, this includes ground staff which was so helpful. Even though Emirates is polished experience we prefer Cathay Pacific business class because we can do Man to HKG direct
But you still have to transfer to MNL at Hong Kong, right?
I would definitely disagree with you. Stoping in Dubai let’s you stretch your legs and visit a great lounge!
Absolute bargain of a price!
Excellent...subscribed....may I ask what type and model of camera you used
3 hours in first class! worth it at that price
A Rory Dings video! Hooray! Good to see you. Such a great video. You are so detailed.
Thank you 😊
very nice sharing...wonderful vdo....big like
Thank you! 🙏😊😊
Another great video Rory!
Amazing video Rory, this flight is now on my list to do on atleast buisness class!

Jump back on emirates to L.A. And ride the Amtrak to Seattle? Please, Rory? Good boy, Rory?
Thanks for your requests
Unfortunately I have already planned all my travels for this year
Perhaps in 2024 I’ll do it for you 😊😂
Love your journeys! ❤
Sensational review and Emirates services is top notch
Planning to fly this route next year
Really enjoyed this video Rory. Very impressed with the Emirates experience. Having just travelled economy with Emirates to London from Singapore & back on the A380, I also was suitably impressed with the food & service. This might be the way I also get to experience 1st Class on Emirates. The price u paid for the product was very reasonable. Thanks for the thorough video, safe travels Rory
I have travelled with them in economy class quite a few times as well, always loved the food 😁

Nice🎉🎉,
Please Air India First class😁🎊
I Will try 😊
Pour your own drinks = awesome haha
True 😂
Great video! Please make a video about how you make your travel videos
Bangkok looks amazing! looks at that beautiful sky.
Absolutely! One of my favourite cities!
Awesome video as always one Question do you know how they get the exterior live footage of the aircraft at 20:04 ? It looks like ground footage I could be wrong by the angle I’m looking at it by. Anyways thanks in advance
Yes it’s the footage of the ground. I think there’s a camera at the bottom of the fuselage.
Eva Air ( Taiwanese airline) Also has a 5th Freedom flight from Europe. I experienced this with a Flight from AMS to BKK, with the flight continuing onwards to Taipei with new crew a few hours later.
Thanks as always, loved it, great to see what the first class, a beautiful experience ✅
Wow! A first class flight even I could afford. Amazing! Thanks, Rory, for another terrific video.
Very in-depth and comprehensive review- thanks for sharing with us!
I’m surprised you didn’t ask to see the cockpit?
Hi Rory, this a amazing trip report. I’m pleased that you enjoyed it.
Thank you 😊
This was marvelous trip with you being a young person you really know your bussiness l really love emirates such class and elegance you got everything covered looking forward to see more of your videos cheers jerry usa
You go, Rorster! That "oh wow!" moment that lasted pretty much the whole flight is so very you.
Thank you 😊
As always Rory very informative and entertaining.
Thank you 😊
very nice presentation!
Smoking room or aria in the lounge??
You know you can detach the tablet right?
Fabulous review
Was there no caviar??
3 to 4 jets on a plane with greater aerodynamic capacity
You must have a good income to afford first class travels
Is it a limitation on the Route that they don't offer First class a limousine at both ends? (this is the case for the Christchurch - Sydney route)
Although they don’t offer limo to every city they fly to
They do offer limo on flights from Bangkok to Dubai
I feel like it’s more of a cost issue as normally a first class ticket would cost around $5k, and bkk-hkg and chc-Syd are way cheaper.
Cool maybe next time you can nap
Awww... I'm trying to book this route in first class and looking at all Jan/Feb dates with no luck for first class, only business. Was there a specific way you booked this? or am I just too late to book these
Hi it seems like they’re not selling first class between 15 Jan and 14 Feb. you can try other dates 😊
@@RoryDing I see! Thank you so much for looking at dates and giving me this information, I appreciate it immensely
احب انك تشرح بالتفصيل 👏
❤️👍👏👏👏✈️💯برافو الامارات
craziest thumbnail face ive seen from you must be amazing
😅
Rory is my favorite serial killer travel vlogger.
Thank you 😅
Best travel vlogger.
Thank you ☺️
How long is the journey?
It’s 3 hrs 😊
well done rory
Thank you 😊
Hi! Rory. Thank You for sharing this wonderful video 👍🏻Hope to get the opportunity to experience the amazing Emirates A380 that gave you such an amazing memory.
Rory, that steak FYI was s Medium Rare. Which is perfectly done.
Great review and great presentation. Keep them coming!
Thanks for the detailed review:) useful and informative😊
I need a minimum of 3 to 4 jets on a plane before boarding any flight
What do you mean jets on a plane? 😅
@@RoryDing turbines
Lovely video!
Mate how are you able to fly around so much and so often?
What do you do for work?
