    The main reason I think they don't offer dine on demand is because the 380 has so many business class seats. Dine on demand would require more galley space per passenger and would likely knock out a row or two of seats and while a premium product I usually find Emirates business class to be very reasonably priced (route dependent) and often has better miles upgrade availability than on other carriers so it's a trade off I'm happy to make.

    Do you not think it’s a little premature to make that statement, easy to say in a pretty much empty cabin but what about under full load? My last experience of EK Business was shocking. A lippy cabin crew member giving the sarcastic response of “you weren’t at your seat were you sir” when I asked for an amenity kit after going to the toilet whilst they were handing them out.
    Qatar would have a flight roster and it would already be at your seat!
    I am greeted by head of cabin on Qatar whether I am in economy or business class and shown to my seat. I love your channel but I think it’s easy for an airline to portray an imagine when they are hosting a famous UA-camr who they know will reach many many people with their content. Maybe try the experience a few more times before making that statement. Let’s be honest you stuck with QR previously for a reason, they are actually the best. No I am not in any way associated with QR but I work in the travel industry so my own experiences do somewhat count.

    "Meeting rich people and pretending to fit it" this was funny to hear as it is so true. I would fly Zurich to LAX biz class on A380 on regular basis for 2 years and met a lot of wealthy / famous individuals (not mutually exclusive lol). The common experience when meeting your fellow passengers is their attempt to determine if you are someone powerful/ultra-wealthy and connected who is worth knowing. Its hilarious the disparity in response when I communicate "Im a nobody just lucky to get this seat!" profile vs a well connected biz mogul in tech.

    Interesting as always. I've always thought that Emirates'A380 business class (and also economy are among the best options in the skies. AsI spenta lot of time in Dubai and as a passenger on Emirates, I did a full series about Emirates and Dubai, including the biggest report on the Emirates lounges on UA-cam (I love the lounges - they're the best!) . Just 2 things to correct: the First Class Lounge in concourse A isn't on top as you said. It's above the main level and below the Business Class Lounge. And: Emirates DO offer amenity kits. I don't know how you came to that statement. They even offer better ones than Qatar in my opinion (no pj's though). But they only offer them on flights longer than 7 or 8 hours (so not on Frankfurt-Dubai in daytime) and on night flights (however not the ones starting at 3am!). On a night flight Frankfurt-Dubai you get an amenity kit, and they're Bulgari branded.
    Would be fantastic to meet you someone on a plane or at an airport - but you know that anyway 😊

    Dan I fly business london to New Zealand on a regular basis. I choose Emirates because of the 380 in my view it's the only aircraft for long distances. The Emirates configuration is excellent with only premium seats upstairs and that lovely bar and lounge. The crew are excellent but meal service can be hit and miss and I was not over impressed on my last trip 2 years ago. Emirates gives premium passengers door to door chauffeur service at each end which is a huge bonus. Their amenity kits must be one of the best and are great to give as gifts. I have to disagree with you about the lounge at Dubai. Most of their flights transit in the early hours of the morning and the lounge is packed to the rafters. On my last trip I could not find a seat and the queues for food ridiculous. To use the lounge showers you have to reserve and the wait can be 45 minutes. Finally as you have stated the 380 experience is one of the best the 777 experience one of the worst. I only flew once in business on their 777 and never again, poor seat and inflight service

    It seems that none of this is new. Emirates' 777s business cabin arrangement has always lagged behind almost all other carriers. Even AA's 767s and 777s have all aisle access in business class. Most East Asian carriers are the same. Emirates' A380s have long had the 1-2-1 arrangement. Has anything changed? It doesn't seem so. Many of us passengers avoid Emirates if the flight will be on a 777, but will gladly book with them for the A380. Hopefully Emirates doesn't screw up their 777x aircraft.

  • @101watever101
    @101watever101 3 роки тому +26

    Dan, well done with the video. As someone who has flown EK for 13 years, I'd tend to agree with your assessment of the J product being akin to commoditization of business class, mostly due to the mass number of premium class passengers they (used to) fly everyday. Nevertheless, they still do a fantastic job of delivering a premium product with such amenities like their lounges, chauffeur pickup/drop-off, and great food and wine selection.
    I'd also agree on your notion of the 777 J class being pretty poor for today's standard. It is worth pointing out though that bar a few exceptions, the 777 (pre-covid) was mostly used on medium and shorter haul sectors, where the J product was adequate for these shorter sector lengths. The 380 was also prioritized for premium markets where product mattered. Even in 2018/19, EK was ambitious enough to start new frequencies to JFK, SYD, and LAX with 380 service, totally skipping an incremental 777 addition, simply because product mattered as much as it did.

    I’ve been lucky enough to travel top deck Emirates A380 business class several times, and it really is an amazing experience! I think the bar adds the unique dimension, as it’s a great place to spend time chatting to random people and cabin crew. Everyone is so friendly and after a couple of hours the party really kicks in, which can be a problem for those seated close by if they want to sleep! As you say, it’s a fun atmosphere compared to the serene sophistication of Qatar business class. The level of personal attention you get on Qatar is almost embarrassing, but a fantastic pampered experience.😀👍🏻

    Realize you're flying this during COVID. I've been in the Dubai lounge pre-COVID when it was incredibly packed, zero seating and the food wasn't that great or plentiful. Their lounge and check-in at LAX is also pretty standard, nothing awe-inspiring when comparing it to a few other providers. While I think Emirates offers a great product (nice bar in the air, excellent catering on-board, chauffeur pick-up, polite staff), the seats were not as comfortable or private as Qatar, the 777s are more ubiquitous, and I had an extremely poor customer service recently that soured me on the airline completely. I understand the limitations of reviewing during COVID, but I'd wait until travel normalizes again so you can compare the two.

    Well done Dan but I do have to disagree with the title. A hot or cold towel is not enough to be equal to QR for the value of what you pay. Qatar still provides all the amenities that Emirates does and on top of that dine on demand and amenity kits and PJs. Although the B787 is not as big as the A380 but Emirates does not operate the A380 to all routes including US flights which means you may be on the B777 with 2-3-2 seating in business class. The variation of aircraft helped Qatar airways to not stop flying while others couldn’t and keep in mind that the B787 is only there to serve short to medium low demand routes.

    I have a soft spot for Emirates as it was the first Airline I flew regularly and achieved my first high tier Frequent Flyers membership on. However, I sadly cannot agree with a few things you mentioned. Some are opinions, which I simply have to respect, but other things you mentioned are factually simply incorrect.
    First of all, the lounges only span the entire length of the terminal in Concourse A (not to mention that the First Class lounge is between the main terminal and the Business Class lounge unlike what your diagram suggests). Furthermore, I can assure you that the Concourse B Business Class lounge fills up and there is hardly any seating available during the peak hours (especially pre-covid). Finally, you mentioned that you can board from the lounge. This is true for every gate in Concourse A, but in Concourse B I believe only 6-7 gates have this feature while the majority don't. Concourse C doesn't have this feature at all. I think it is important to mention that there are multiple lounges in Dubai and not all have the features you listed.
    About the design on the Aircraft everyone will have their own opinion, I am personally not a fan. However, it is a shame you haven't been able to experience their revamped colour scheme as I feel it is a lot nicer. In regards to the cabin crew, my experience has been really hit and miss. Pretty much a coin flip if you're going to have a good or bad crew.
    I love Emirates and will always have that soft spot for them, but I made the switch to Qatar Airways 2 years ago. I just recently flew Emirates from Frankfurt to Dubai (return) in May and it just confirmed again my opinion to stick with Qatar.

      well at least Emirates won't give you a medicaly invasive exam after any of it's flights, like Qatar did to their Australian passengers. I don't know how that airline is still not banned for breaking human rights!

    • @momo98726
      @momo98726 3 роки тому +2

      @@BermetMU That is a very fair point. But, if you’re going to include human rights in your criteria for choosing an airline then just ignore most of the Gulf states imo. They are pretty much all guilty of exploiting people for modern slave labour.

    Tbh from my own experience with both airlines, Emirates doesn't even come close to Qatar business class. They do have some newer aircrafts but usually you fly on 10 or even 15 years old planes with a completely run down interior. The seats are super narrow & uncomfortable, kept in an atrocious design, everythingh feels tacky and super old, 2010'ish, they use outdated 2-3-2 config for their 777 business class, the flights are often understaffed. Apart from Turish Airlines, it is the most horrible business class experience you can buy, incomparable to Qatar Airways.

    That bar looks like something out of a 1970s Winnebago hahaha, wow just such awful taste. I'd rather sit facing the back of an economy seat.
    The massive overuse of walnut is like a Swiss Restaurant from 1982. Sure the soft product and IFE are good but I don't know how anybody with taste could ever fly with this airline.

    The Emirates 777 out of London Stansted is pretty good in business class but still has the hated 3 abreast layout. The quality of the flight can vary considerably depending on the equipment. Etihads dreamliner is excellent, its 777 dire. Qatar have the best food (in any class IMHO) Emirates the best IFE. I use all three. QSuites are still king. 👍

    Emirates catering can be a bit off at times, last flight with them back in 2018, my business class food quality on the way back to HKG from LHR via DXB was WORSE than what I can in economy. Qatar has been perfect every time at the front of the plane... plus as I travel as a family of three and soon four... the quad-QSuite is game changer and right now the only way to top THAT is flying private, and even then, for long haul that's still with Qatar Executive...

Yes, their onboard radio, which is the default station when you connect your headphones is HIGHLY addictive, filled with interesting tidbits about the Emirates and, yes, suspiciously propagandistic. Dubai's history is nothing short of miraculous and it's future on a meteoric rise according to this station.

    unfortunately you are almost guaranteed a plane swap (had it twice on 4 legs) with emirates getting a middle seat on a 777 instead of what you booked on the a380 so that defeats the purpose of everything else being great. yes wine is good lounges are OK but sitting in the middle with no aisle access is not.
