      I wonder how many people came to the comments to say the same thing. No plane in the world weighs close to half a million tons. I think you meant to say over 500 tons.

    I was so lucky earlier in the year to fly Emirates business class from Melbourne to Gatwick return on A380’s, what an experience….loved the rear bar…..Flight crew on all flights were amazing….

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  2 роки тому +1

      The bar is the game changer, specially on the very long flight to Melbourne.
      I was stuck recently in my Qsuite for 15 hours and got so fed up as I just had to walk and talk with anyone.
      Very happy you had fun. All the best in 2023 my friend!

    Can't beat Emirates business class (except Emirates first class). I have flown many airlines over the years but Emirates just takes it to a higher level in their A380s. The 4 trips (2 trips at origin, and 2 at destination) in the black car (home to airport and the reverse) that Emirates sends is just the beginning. The planes are new and high tech. The pilots and crew are top notch. Service is like beyond expectations! The bar at the back of the A380 is fantastic. I made so many worldwide friends back there at 37,000 feet. And Emirates' lounges at airports are the best there is today. The variety and quality of food served in the lounges compares to the best of restaurants. The difference being at an Emirates lounge you could consume outstanding food from dozens of countries....your choice in what you choose to consume (Japanese, Indian, Italian, French, Chinese, Middle Eastern, and the list goes on). A restaurant simply serves you one kind of food. I have no qualms in stating that one of the best restaurants I have been to is an Emirates business class lounge, simply based on choice and the quality of food. Nothing today, in the flying community, comes close to Emirates in toto. I know that business class on Qatar is a private quarter on the plane (not so on Emirates). But that does not mean much to me. I admit I have not flown Qatar (I will soon, just to compare, and I will likely be disappointed), but the business class flights I have been on Emirates A380 over the last decade have simply stunned me. I love business class on Emirates A380! On my bucket list is to fly in the private suite (a step above first class with a living room, bedroom and bathroom with shower and your own chef to cook meals you desire) for 4 on Emirates A380.

      I completely agree with you. A top product. I have some video’s coming up in Premium Economy and First Class.
      Qatar Airways is great too, but I just arrived on a flight with them yesterday on the A380 in First Class and it was horrible. I’ll publish it some time later.
      For me Emirates is always 100% fun.

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  2 роки тому +2

      What a beautiful comment, thank you, and yes you’re right, I fully agree with you. The A380 is indeed on a superior level vs all the other aircrafts out there. When configured properly it’s just a dream plane made for the customer experience. Sadly many airlines did not take advantage of this and just cares about passenger numbers.
      Emirates did a perfect job and I look forward to see what they come up with on the B777-9.
      Have a great new year and I hope to film you some A340 action in 2023!

      @@TheLayoverAviation It would be great to see you do a review on the A340 especially as most have been withdrawn from passenger service, you are probably aware that Lufthansa have reintroduced the type and are operating them from Munich to a few destinations in the US, the 340-600 has in my view got to be one of the most stunning looking passengers aircraft of all-time, I was fortunate to fly on a Virgin 346 some years ago on a flight to LHR from Washington DC there were under 70 passengers on board .

    Congrats Alex on 20k subs!! Here's to 100k in no time! Emirates business class ahhh so nice! Let the food avalanche Commence!! Many people would say that's so much food but they have to remember that on 14 + hour flights you need it ;) Those French wines are the best! Thumb's up to the Hennessey ! I took the Hennessey tour + Tasting when I was in Cognac France some years back. It was superb! I enjoyed every minute of this video thanks! Here's to a happy new year to you and your family! Cheers!

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  2 роки тому +2

      Thank you Miles! I don’t know how I could manage 100k as I’m already overwhelmed with work, but we’ll find a way!
      You need all the food on a 14 hour flight and you have to keep your stomach full when having a beverage😜
      That Hennesey tour sounds very interesting indeed, I’ll have a look at it the next time I go to France.
      Emirates is LVMH’s biggest customer so they have access to premium Hennesey products and, as of this week, exclusive rights to Dom Pérignon and other Moët products.
      A happy new year to you and yours too! I’m awaiting more of your trips next year!

      They have Gypsy Kings, Marc Anthony, Manzanita just to name a few Spanish & Latin artists that I can come up with..
      pd. Listen to Manzanita - Un ramito de violetas.
      It’s a beautiful song and I was shocked to hear it on EK. They must have someone talented behind the scenes looking for music.

      First Class is a step above! I’ve flown it some times but I’m eager to share it with you all next year.
      I really want to show the game changer one and the newest A380, so it’s hard to find the perfect trip where I can combine both!

    Uganda Airlines with their A338 for 2023 would be something. Convenient for you as a Dubai resident

      Yes that is the plan. I booked it last year but Uganda had strict entry requirements for foreigners.

    Great flight. The 10 glasses of various alcoholic drinks that you had would have knocked me out as I probably would have boarded the plane after several drinks in the lounge.

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  2 роки тому

      That’s one of the reasons why I skipped the lounge! And bear in mind that my boss was flying in First Class, so regardless of anything I still need to take great care of my consumption!
      But I’m very good at it. In fact; like Churchill I actually perform better. All these video’s are edited along with either a bottle of wine or Champagne. It’s what gives me the creativity.
      pd: kids, don’t drink.

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  Рік тому

      Hey Stefenos, that’s a perfect routing to fully enjoy this beast.
      Yes, it’s expensive, but out of all destinations in the World, Australia has some of the most expensive fares. I guess due to the high demand and high average income there.
      Because I’ve managed to pay $4000 US from Bangkok to London in First Class. Far cheaper in other countries as you see!

    I'm so glad that I came across this channel. You are one of the 2 youtubers I know who actually do plane spotting and make long detailed videos about your experience. The other youtuber is CollegeAviator. He stopped uploading and since then I have been looking for a youtuber like him and when I found this channel, it has become my favorite one. Please continue to make videos like these, I am looking forward to your next video.
    Your videos are better than his though because you make more detailed videos and trip reports of a variety of planes from different countries.

      You’re right about CollegeAviator, it’s been a time I haven’t seen anything..
      Video’s are not better then anyone, they just target a different audience.
      Some people don’t like what I do and prefer voice over or something shorter , so it all depends!

    Just fascinating how you've captured everything. I had a job that made me fly EK long haul from India to dubai and onward to America and back almost every month and I've quite enjoyed the upper deck. Watching your video made me relive those experiences.
    Just one Q though..how do you know looking out of the window which airline is flying to which destination ..saw that during takeoff too and after your landing . Curious :)

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  Рік тому +1

      Spending all that time on the upper deck is a must do experience in life. I just feel like in heaven.
      To answer your question, there are many live plane tracking apps you can use to track the flights. Have a search and find which one is best suited for you.
      I can see the planes from anywhere in the world, live, and also the past history.

    Oh yes Emirates! We just flew with them FRA-DXB-CPT and back in Economy and I can say they never disappoint, even in Economy Class! It´s only a pity that they removed Remote Controllers, foldable Tray table, Cupholders and Coat hocks in their new 777s and A380s. Looks like they are cutting cost in Eco 😢. Great Trip Report btw!

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  Рік тому +1

      Hey Leon. I don’t see it as cost cutting but as a smart move (even if it does cut costs!). Because those are precisely the things that I used 0 times (and I fly 2-3 times a month on EK). A jacket is never required in the UAE, so it goes straight to the overhead stowage or coat closet (Yes they have many of those).
      The cupholders are excellent to forget your drink in and spill it once you get up or move. And the remotes I also used 0 times in Economy as the screen can just be used with the hand.
      The foldable table was nice, but I don’t think I reached a point here I missed it yet..
      You actually made me think of what else I would start getting rid of in aircrafts!
      Thanks for writing!

    I flew economy ARN-DXB and DXB-ARN a couple of weeks ago but wasn't given an amenity kit in either direction. Maybe because both flights are daytime (eventhough ARN-DXB arrives at midnight) or maybe the duration of flight was too short?

      The planes outside are also a pain to find sometimes, but I always wondered where they are going. The cities are easy when they’re big but the tiny village are soooo hard to find! I write hoping that someone from that place will write me here 😛

The ticket price i found on Skyscanner and the price is 6000 euros. I saw that no one yet is not review that airline(probably because ticket price). Anyway, I wish you Happy New Year to you and your family.

      It’s not even about affording it or not, that’s a huge scam!😂
      It’s cheaper to pay for a private jet on such a short flight, so yes, no way I’m taking a low cost that people here won’t even watch!
