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….
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. Thanks for the in-depth comment, I enjoyed it!
This is exactly what I needed after a active day at work, first off it’s EK so I’ll be watching anyway but you certainly wasn’t lying you certainly did leave the best to last. A massive bravo as always, A380 is a magnificent piece of engineering, congrats on the 20000 subs well deserved, wishing you and the family a happy new year
First of all, a happy new year Paul! Thank you for the nice words and I hope a great year awaits you and yours. I’ll do my best to keep you entertained after hard work days!
Just an incredible experience, those who say the 380s days are numbered should watch this video, Emirates just get it so right in comparison to any other airline. Have really enjoyed the extra details you add to your reports well deserved following.
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 . Keep the videos coming.
A380 is and will remain for many years the best all round plane in existence. A masterpiece of engineering. I have flown in it 4 times long distance and the memory will remain with me forever.
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!
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!
20K SUBS is the best gift ever before 2023... 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Congrats Alex... 👏👏👏👏 Your EK stalker is on the TOP for this trip!!!! We all appreciate your great work and sharing your videos with us... 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Wishing you and your family a Very Happy New Year filled with hope, health, and happiness - with a generous sprinkle of fun! 🙏🙏
first time on this channel, really appreciate all the high quality edits, information, and how smooth the narration was. I had to pause to make sure I wasnt watching a documentary. This is top tier stuff.... I will check out other videos. Please continue
Just cannot help myself Alex you are the best.Me always the biggest smile even reruns on your TRIP REPORT.. Love your great humour of course always informative.Thanks a zillion
Hi Layover Aviation Guy of all my beautiful dreams.Not for a sec. you are out of my thoughts. Well now that I am 21 yrs can say that .Do have a great weekend n wk.
Another excellent review; looked a wonderful flight. Thanks for the great content through the year. Keep up the good work in 2023. Wishing you a happy new year
Your flight reviews are the best, gaining knowledges on thrusts, engines, flaps.. And I now determined to find a Emirates A380, they now fly from San Fran and LA, on my next trip!
Alex, thanks for your flight video, and this route from Dulles to Doha is one of my choice route and forward to Jakarta later. Your video is very informative, GBU
Oh, Buddy! that flight looks so awesome, the food, the drink, who bought the cake? Are you guys or EK?, that's bloody epic! Congrats Alex on 20k subs I'm so happy that I met your channel, the best flying vlog on youtube, in my opinion. can't wait for your next 2023 flight, and make us feel like we travel with you anywhere! happy new year buddy :D
Hey Itai! Thank you! So the cake a friend brought and the crew stored it and presented it for us. But there also is the possibility to request for a birthday cake to Emirates with some time ahead. Also Champagne and other stuff to celebrate. Thanks for watching this entire year and for all the comments. Have a great one!
Great video! Love how you identified all the other aircraft you pass on your way to the runway. Thanks for an amazing video! I’ll be flying Emirates Business Class later this month from SFO to DBX. Can’t wait!!!
I always wanted to know such things so I thought it would be cool to share. Have a lot of fun on your flight from SFO. It’s even longer then mine so much more time to enjoy! Have fun!
I wish.. But it was just a flight like any other, I just happened to be flying with my colleagues this time. Emirates is always good fun for me. But I wouldn’t mind getting special treatment for a video some day😎 The more I can show you all the happier it makes me!
Great intro with none other than Vivaldi! And a great way to end the year. A380s are the only way to fly...and I've only experienced them in Economy. Surprising you got that window seat 50K as Economy is usually full. I was in 50K to Toronto (video on my channel ..wink!!). Love you videos, hard to keep with where you are in the world...however keep them coming and all the best for 2023!!
The A380’s are really on other terms of comfort, even in Economy. Yes, weirdly enough 50k was empty but 50HJ not. But I gave the lady a nice broad smile and she let me sit there😏 Let me have a look at your channel! Many happy flights to you in 2023!
Big up the A380s but my greatest flying experience was in an A330 -800 to Perth..I felt it's more comfortable than the A380 and Beoing 777 in economy class...am I wrong??
Congrats on your 20k subscribers. You were at my home airport Dulles and thanks for my hometown mention of Brambleton, I think I saw my house as the 380’s fly over them. As a matter of fact I saw the Dubai Destination livery taking off today from my bedroom window. Kudos to the staff making your friend’s birthday special with a cake. There’s a reason why they are a first class airline.
See, I always like to write down the names of towns no matter how big or small hoping that someone from there would write. And you did! Thanks for writing and keep enjoying the views! More Emirates coming soon!
I really love your video and this Emirates A380 flight review, thanks for making this experienced shared to all of us, hope to have more videos like this! cheers from Malaysia!!!
Companies like Emirates make it very easy for me to make an interesting video. It’s never boring there and each flight is different! Much more coming, of course! Greetings back from Dubai 🇦🇪
You certainly aren’t going to go hungry on those flights and I was cracking up when I seen the birthday cake. isn’t spirit airlines that’s for sure lol.
While it used to feature on ads and all over the place, it’s now only 20 seconds during boarding/disembarking. They seem to be taking a more modern approach with a bit less of their classic song. But I love it too! It reminds me of when I moved here.
And I am super glad that you subbed to this channel! About the music; I listen to some songs and when I hear the one I like I can suddenly picture an intro. So it’s actually all build around a song!
Thank you for sharing! One of the coolest, detailed and most entertaining! So glad I came across your vid. And makes me even more excited for my trip in a couple weeks 😁 KOA-LAX-DXB. It's definitely going to be a long haul but I cant wait!! **cheers** 🥂
Thanks a lot for the super comment! I do appreciate. Do look forward to your trip, LAX is even much longer! It’s perfect to sleep a good 7-8 hours and still enjoy as much as I did (or more🤪) Have fun and enjoy a drink for me!
Love it! Looks like you had so much fun. I’m flying Emirates A380 business tonight from MEL-DXB-LHR. Can’t wait for all the great food and service - not sure if they’ll serve me in the back, but mocktails will be just fine. Thanks for sharing, happy new year, best of luck in 23!
I’m glad to see you around! It’s been a while since you last uploaded, right? I’m looking forward to your trip! It’s a full night one if I’m not mistaken, I’ve taken it before. So hard to stay awake, but the London one is incredible! They also usually send the newest A380’s so the Business Class is incredible plus it has Premium Economy. A happy new year to you too! I’ll actually be celebrating it at your hometown, in Times Square😎
@@TheLayoverAviation yes full flight in dark. Hopefully I’ll have time for a shower in DXB. New A380 on the EK1 tomorrow morning. I’ll be interested to compare the different seats. I understand that the new one has some new finishes and padding. Funny how you spend a lot of time on EK A380s, I spend most of my time in New York so we’re going to swap for the new year 😂. Enjoy new years at Times Square, it’s a special experience!
This was by far the best video! I liked the landing part and watching the livery Please keep making more inspiring videos like this ! Lilked and subscribed
TO BE HONEST SINCE I HAVE BEEN WATCHING AIRPLANE DOCUMENTARY YOURS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE EVER SPECIALLY WITH EVERY DETAILS IN AND OUT TO RAMP WITH DIFFERENT AIRLINES AND THEIR OB AND IB WELL DONNE THANK YOU 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
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.
Nice review. I might be taking it to Male later this year, or at least to Dubai. It does look amazing! If I do it I will be fasting the day before to prepare for the eating and drinking!
What a great video to end succesfull 2022 for you mate! 🍾💪🏻 I have flown EKA380 first class back in 2019 PRG-DXB for like 3 hours and it was my first flight ever!! Great video and see you next year Alex! 💪🏻😎👍🏻
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! Happy new year and happy flights!
Yes that is the plan. I booked it last year but Uganda had strict entry requirements for foreigners. I guess it’s better now and I’ll try it. I’ve visited the plane during the Dubai Airshow and loved it!
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.
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.
Wow another great vlog as usual Alejandro . Congratulations on the 20K subscribers. Wow your flying business class and that also on the king of the skies that’s amazing. I think you should do a face reveal for 20k subscribers if you’re ok with it.
Thanks Ali! You’ve been here since the beginning, so thanks for that! I don’t mind revealing my face, I’m not camera shy at all. But I’m not allowed to promote anything that’s not my company, it could be considered “promoting” when I talk very positively about someone else when my job is to actually promote my business. But who knows if in the future I become a full time UA-camr, time will tell! Happy new year!
I just did Sydney to Manchester return on A380,yes the chauffeur service makes the difference I live a long way from Sydney airport . lovely flight great airline but expensive $14,500 Australian..
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!
Lovely video, and memories of a London-Dubai flight earlier this year. Emirates do it so well. Can actually look forward to Dubai-Auckland in May; 17 hours of pleasure.
Hey, congrats on 20K subs and a Happy New Year!!! I hope you get more flights like these in 2023 and that you continue to make awesomeee flight reports like these. 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.
Thank you Arav and I wish you a happy new year too! Much more to come in 2023, including the EK A380, but in First! 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! Thanks again for the very nice words and I send you my kindest regards!
All the drinks vanish without the light🤣 Nah, it’s actually useful at night so you don’t burn your eyes out with the other torch. But first you need to know about the tiny light, which I’m sure 90% don’t!
Hi there Alex...now that wd make the Young Platinum Traveller one happy kid..all those stuff :)... also i had never imagined a single malt with baklawa...i need to try that...bucket list for the 1st of Jan 😀 ..... Njoyed the video....i too was a bit uncomfortable with a beautiful view window toilet seat in the beginning....but then who cares.....haha...let it snow let it snow......hv a nice year end time bro..stay blessed.....AND A HAPPY PROSPEROUS FLYING NEW YEAR.....
A happy new year to your Martin. I hope many great travels await you. Thank you for all the nice words this year and I appreciate your audience. Have a great one!
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 :)
Very glad to hear how it made you fee like home again :) 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.
Man watching the video in 21k is like I am flying not you, anyway, someone has said right that heaven in really in the sky. What a beautiful flight it was. I really enjoyed it Thank you for this video just let me know please how much you spent on the ticket.
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!
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!
Thank you for such a detailed video, I'm also traveling from AMD - DXB - YYZ ( DXB - YYZ on A380) on 18th August, and my seat number is also 68A, now i have idea, how my trip is going to be, also you're doing great work, I've already watched all the videos more than twice. ❤️❤️ Best of luck.❤❤
Great video! :) 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?
From what I know, the amenity kits are distributed on overnight flights and on flights longer then 9 hours. But all the toiletries continue to be available on request. Thanks for watching!
Your videos are really well edited. To someone watching it feels like you're actually the one experiencing the flight. Just subtitles to report. I like the added info not usually included in airline reviews such other planes outside or a city down below.
Hey there, thanks a lot for the comment! Very glad you enjoy it. I really don’t like the editing part but I am glad it turned out nice. 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 😛 Thanks again, have a nice one!
Great video. I would like to see Cyprus Airways trip report, but I'm not sure if you can afford it. I saw that company on flightradar24 it flies Larnaca(Lca) to Dubrovnik (Dbv). 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.
Ciao Luka! 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! I’ll do my best to find something more interesting though, that I can promise. Sretna Nova Godina!!
TYPO CORRECTION: ITS NOT HALF MILLION TONNES, BUT KG, obviously😅

Many more to come as long as it’s my home airline in Dubai!
I don’t know what I’ll do once I move back to Europe..😱
I wish you many flights next year!
What a nice flight. I flew twice on the A380 between Johannesburg and Dubai. What a treat. Emirates are the best. Point.
It was a wonderful flight indeed. The A380 is a whole experience and I’m happy you’ve got to fly on it.
I hope to visit Johannesburg again soon :)
"Happiness is a big part of your health"...... Very well said mate! Wishing you a prosperous new year ahead.🙌
All the same to you 😄

can't wait for your next 2023 flight, and make us feel like we travel with you anywhere!
happy new year buddy :D
Hey Itai! Thank you!
So the cake a friend brought and the crew stored it and presented it for us.
But there also is the possibility to request for a birthday cake to Emirates with some time ahead. Also Champagne and other stuff to celebrate.
Thanks for watching this entire year and for all the comments. Have a great one!
Just wow, thanking for sharing all your flights... Happy New Year
Thanks Amadou! It’s always a pleasure. Happy new year to you too.
Espectacular video en todo sentido Alejo! 🎉 Como me encanta ese Dulles Airport uff!
Gracias Luis! Es uno de los mejores aeropuertos en US.
Te echaba de menos por aqui!
Great video! Love how you identified all the other aircraft you pass on your way to the runway. Thanks for an amazing video! I’ll be flying Emirates Business Class later this month from SFO to DBX. Can’t wait!!!
I always wanted to know such things so I thought it would be cool to share.
Have a lot of fun on your flight from SFO. It’s even longer then mine so much more time to enjoy! Have fun!
Chicago my favorite city of USA always nice capture Good job
I’ve been a few times, but Miami and Seattle remain my favorite 😎
What an experience for you. Now I want to go to Dubai and take this same flight from DC.
You should! Or from anywhere else in the world. It’s fun!
Great job! Very jealous of the drink selections! Have a very happy new year!
I wish I could film a video trying each drink available but it’s absolutely impossible. I would die!
A happy new year to you too Eugene!
Feliz año amigo gracias por todos los reportes de este año,para el 2023 por mas aerolíneas y nuevos países a conocer saludos desde Colombia ✈️👍🏽✨
Muchas gracias por ser un fiel subscriptor este año Samuel!
Un abrazo y espero visitar Colombia en 2023. Feliz año nuevo !
A goodtime had by all-time fly's when you're having fun,yet another awesome 10/10 flight review there dude👍
Thanks Brian! It was a lot of fun indeed. Happy new year Brian!
Great flight, I’ve flown this exact route 15 times in business and first class and it never disappoints. 👍🏻
You should try in Economy Class then, it’s about time🤪
You’ve flown it way more then me, I did 5 times!
Another outstanding upload my friend. All the very best to you and yours and here’s to your continued success. Cheers 👍🍻
Thanks Alex, glad you enjoyed it! All the best to you too!
Another wonderful video! Your channel is underrated as it packs so much information in each upload. 👍🏽
It’s not underrated, it’s growing quite fast! It’s more work then I thought it would be.
But thank you for the nice words!!
I love the Emirates Lounge bar in the 380, flew on it last year also from Paris to Dubai
What a game changer.. Specially on flights this long!
@@TheLayoverAviation Yes my flight was to short hahahah
I think you were given a special service for making this video, surely it can't be that good!!
I wish.. But it was just a flight like any other, I just happened to be flying with my colleagues this time.
Emirates is always good fun for me.
But I wouldn’t mind getting special treatment for a video some day😎 The more I can show you all the happier it makes me!
Great intro with none other than Vivaldi! And a great way to end the year. A380s are the only way to fly...and I've only experienced them in Economy. Surprising you got that window seat 50K as Economy is usually full. I was in 50K to Toronto (video on my channel ..wink!!). Love you videos, hard to keep with where you are in the world...however keep them coming and all the best for 2023!!
The A380’s are really on other terms of comfort, even in Economy.
Yes, weirdly enough 50k was empty but 50HJ not. But I gave the lady a nice broad smile and she let me sit there😏
Let me have a look at your channel!
Many happy flights to you in 2023!
Thanks for checking out my channel 😉
Big up the A380s but my greatest flying experience was in an A330 -800 to Perth..I felt it's more comfortable than the A380 and Beoing 777 in economy class...am I wrong??
Congrats on your 20k subscribers. You were at my home airport Dulles and thanks for my hometown mention of Brambleton, I think I saw my house as the 380’s fly over them. As a matter of fact I saw the Dubai Destination livery taking off today from my bedroom window. Kudos to the staff making your friend’s birthday special with a cake. There’s a reason why they are a first class airline.
See, I always like to write down the names of towns no matter how big or small hoping that someone from there would write. And you did!
Thanks for writing and keep enjoying the views! More Emirates coming soon!
I really love your video and this Emirates A380 flight review, thanks for making this experienced shared to all of us, hope to have more videos like this! cheers from Malaysia!!!
Companies like Emirates make it very easy for me to make an interesting video. It’s never boring there and each flight is different!
Much more coming, of course! Greetings back from Dubai 🇦🇪
You certainly aren’t going to go hungry on those flights and I was cracking up when I seen the birthday cake. isn’t spirit airlines that’s for sure lol.
It’s the complete opposite of Spirit I guess..
And no hunger at all! But one has to plan well: Exercise before and after the flight!
I love the Emirates onboard music, actually it's also my ringtone in my phone :)
While it used to feature on ads and all over the place, it’s now only 20 seconds during boarding/disembarking.
They seem to be taking a more modern approach with a bit less of their classic song.
But I love it too! It reminds me of when I moved here.
I'm glad I subbed to this channel, honestly the content is amazing, and the quality of each review, plus the intro music it's great!
And I am super glad that you subbed to this channel!
About the music; I listen to some songs and when I hear the one I like I can suddenly picture an intro. So it’s actually all build around a song!
Thank you for sharing! One of the coolest, detailed and most entertaining! So glad I came across your vid. And makes me even more excited for my trip in a couple weeks 😁 KOA-LAX-DXB. It's definitely going to be a long haul but I cant wait!! **cheers** 🥂
Thanks a lot for the super comment! I do appreciate.
Do look forward to your trip, LAX is even much longer!
It’s perfect to sleep a good 7-8 hours and still enjoy as much as I did (or more🤪)
Have fun and enjoy a drink for me!
Its Allways Great On Air Craft Whit A Aboard.Great Work
Thanks my friend, happy new year Gunvald!
@@TheLayoverAviation Happy new year to you too
Love it! Looks like you had so much fun. I’m flying Emirates A380 business tonight from MEL-DXB-LHR. Can’t wait for all the great food and service - not sure if they’ll serve me in the back, but mocktails will be just fine. Thanks for sharing, happy new year, best of luck in 23!
I’m glad to see you around! It’s been a while since you last uploaded, right?
I’m looking forward to your trip! It’s a full night one if I’m not mistaken, I’ve taken it before. So hard to stay awake, but the London one is incredible! They also usually send the newest A380’s so the Business Class is incredible plus it has Premium Economy.
A happy new year to you too!
I’ll actually be celebrating it at your hometown, in Times Square😎
@@TheLayoverAviation yes full flight in dark. Hopefully I’ll have time for a shower in DXB. New A380 on the EK1 tomorrow morning. I’ll be interested to compare the different seats. I understand that the new one has some new finishes and padding. Funny how you spend a lot of time on EK A380s, I spend most of my time in New York so we’re going to swap for the new year 😂. Enjoy new years at Times Square, it’s a special experience!
This was by far the best video! I liked the landing part and watching the livery
Please keep making more inspiring videos like this ! Lilked and subscribed
Thanks a lot! Welcome to the club, I’m happy you enjoyed the video and hope you’ll enjoy all others too.
I wish you a great new year!
Awesome 😎😎😎 flight ever ❤️❤️💕💕 nobody can beat Emirates in aviation industry by giving luxury service in every class of Emirates 💕💕❤️❤️
Well, just wait until I film their First Class!
Awesome review 👍 Happy New Year ! Thanks for sharing such great moments with us .
A happy new year to you too! Thanks for being here.
Big plane...big report. Congratulations on reaching 20k mate
And thanks to you Sam for being here so much! Couldn’t be done without the loyal ones!
What a wonderful experience. I’ll have to plan a visit to Dubai soon. The business product looks amazing
It was incredibly much fun. Yet haven’t had an experience like that one. I’ll fly QR Business on their A380 and see how that compares..
Great that you saved the best for us for the year ending...... Happy New year 💖
You too! I hope you enjoyed 🙂
TO BE HONEST SINCE I HAVE BEEN WATCHING AIRPLANE DOCUMENTARY YOURS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE EVER SPECIALLY WITH EVERY DETAILS IN AND OUT TO RAMP WITH DIFFERENT AIRLINES AND THEIR OB AND IB WELL DONNE THANK YOU 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Amazing and warm trip report as always!
Thanks Andrew!
Your videos are the best!
I enjoy them a lot and what a way to end 2022!
Feliz 2023 y lo mejor para ti y tu familia en el nuevo año!
Muchas gracias Manuel! Te deseo lo mismo a ti y los tuyos!
Nice video - was that the Gypsy Kings as boarding music? 🤔
Food looked amazing. 🥂
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.
Nice review. I might be taking it to Male later this year, or at least to Dubai. It does look amazing! If I do it I will be fasting the day before to prepare for the eating and drinking!
And a lot of exercise😂
I wish you an incredible flight. All well worth it!
What a great video to end succesfull 2022 for you mate! 🍾💪🏻
I have flown EKA380 first class back in 2019 PRG-DXB for like 3 hours and it was my first flight ever!!
Great video and see you next year Alex! 💪🏻😎👍🏻
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!
Happy new year and happy flights!
Nice trip as always. I like your way of presentation 👍. Explaining every detail in excellent manner.
Thank you Abdul! A lot of work but very happy you got to enjoy it!
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.
I guess it’s better now and I’ll try it.
I’ve visited the plane during the Dubai Airshow and loved it!
I feel extremely happy when I see you have uploaded a new video.
Enjoy it!
And make sure you’ve watched all others! Some of the least popular ones are actually my favorite..
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.
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.
Was waiting for another Emirates flight by you well done
Here it is and it won’t be the last one!
Wow another great vlog as usual Alejandro . Congratulations on the 20K subscribers. Wow your flying business class and that also on the king of the skies that’s amazing. I think you should do a face reveal for 20k subscribers if you’re ok with it.
Thanks Ali! You’ve been here since the beginning, so thanks for that!
I don’t mind revealing my face, I’m not camera shy at all. But I’m not allowed to promote anything that’s not my company, it could be considered “promoting” when I talk very positively about someone else when my job is to actually promote my business.
But who knows if in the future I become a full time UA-camr, time will tell!
Happy new year!
@@TheLayoverAviation if you don’t mind me asking is your UA-cam channel a company you work for
What a beautiful flight an d a beautiful plane
I agree with you! Thanks for watching Vel!
I just did Sydney to Manchester return on A380,yes the chauffeur service makes the difference I live a long way from Sydney airport . lovely flight great airline but expensive $14,500 Australian..
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!
This is amazing! Well done on 20K and have a Happy New Year :-)
Thanks my friend!
Great video man the service on EK is great. Happy new yr 2 u n your fam ❤️❤️❤️congrats on 20k subs
Thanks Jim, happy new year to you and yours too!
@@TheLayoverAviation thanks man 🙏
Lovely video, and memories of a London-Dubai flight earlier this year. Emirates do it so well. Can actually look forward to Dubai-Auckland in May; 17 hours of pleasure.
17 hours is incredible! You can actually enjoy it at its fullest and also sleep perfectly well.
I wish you a lot of fun, make the most out of it!
Hey, congrats on 20K subs and a Happy New Year!!! I hope you get more flights like these in 2023 and that you continue to make awesomeee flight reports like these.
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.
Thank you Arav and I wish you a happy new year too!
Much more to come in 2023, including the EK A380, but in First!
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!
Thanks again for the very nice words and I send you my kindest regards!
A-MA-ZING!! 👏👏👏
Gracias😎
Nice 👍
❤️Emirates❤️
❤️A380❤️
Greetings from Helsinki ❄️ Finland
Thanks! Always happy times on the Emirates A380 ❤️
Greetings back from Colombo ☀️ Sri Lanka
Lucky enough you had that minibar light! Imagine doing without , unbearable 😅😅😅
All the drinks vanish without the light🤣
Nah, it’s actually useful at night so you don’t burn your eyes out with the other torch.
But first you need to know about the tiny light, which I’m sure 90% don’t!
Hi there Alex...now that wd make the Young Platinum Traveller one happy kid..all those stuff :)... also i had never imagined a single malt with baklawa...i need to try that...bucket list for the 1st of Jan 😀 .....
Njoyed the video....i too was a bit uncomfortable with a beautiful view window toilet seat in the beginning....but then who cares.....haha...let it snow let it snow......hv a nice year end time bro..stay blessed.....AND A HAPPY PROSPEROUS FLYING NEW YEAR.....
A happy new year to your Martin. I hope many great travels await you.
Thank you for all the nice words this year and I appreciate your audience.
Have a great one!
If that were me I would have one hell of a hangover by the time I got to Dubai!
Not me, I’m a pro😎
Congrats fro 20k!!✨ It was a pleasure subscribing your channel and watching these videos❤️
Thank you Raghav. The pleasure is all mine, thanks for being part of the team!
can't get any better. I'm just wondering if business class looks so fascinating, than what the first class would look like? HEAVEN !!! 😍😇😇
You’ll get to see in the coming months how First Class looks like😎
Stick to business it's better and almost half the price...
Your videos are great. Very informative.
Thanks for the nice words!
Super beautiful on this video in Aeroplane ✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫
Thanks a lot, glad you liked!
Emirates are really gorgeous ❤️
Yes indeed Jessica!!
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 :)
Very glad to hear how it made you fee like home again :)
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.
🎉 Congrats on 20k!!!
Hvala!
Nice, always shortage of reviews from North America to the Middle East or vice versa …great video yet again from you !
I fly monthly between the ME to US, so I hope to bring many more!
Thanks for writing, glad you enjoyed the video!
Man watching the video in 21k is like I am flying not you, anyway, someone has said right that heaven in really in the sky. What a beautiful flight it was. I really enjoyed it
Thank you for this video just let me know please how much you spent on the ticket.
Thank you Asif, it was nice for you to join along😛
This ticket was courtesy of my employer so I didn’t pay😎
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!
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!
Very informative subtitle. I wonder how do you know about the destination of each plane you see. I like emirates airlines.
Thanks Abdullah, glad you enjoyed all the extra info.
I know thanks to live plane tracking apps, there are many fun ones out there!
Let's gooo time to enjoy my birthday 🥳🥳 with this video.Nice to see to celebrate a birthday on a plane. Take care boss and hope you're doing well🙂🙂
Happy birthday chief. Stay blessed
@@martinvareed8756 thank you so much 😄
Happy birthday then! Now I know for next year😜
I love your channel very much I found it last year and it is amazing :D When will you go on Saudia?
Very glad you found it!
I already have 2 flights on Saudia on this channel, have a look!
Of course they’ll be more :)
@@TheLayoverAviation Thx for commenting I love your channel :3
What a complete and nice report ❤
thanks a lot for writing Hossein!
yummie! great catering indeed!
Everything on this flight was just great 👏
Thank you for such a detailed video, I'm also traveling from AMD - DXB - YYZ ( DXB - YYZ on A380) on 18th August, and my seat number is also 68A, now i have idea, how my trip is going to be, also you're doing great work, I've already watched all the videos more than twice. ❤️❤️ Best of luck.❤❤
No sabes la enviadia que te tengo por realizar ese viaje en tan magna belleza.
Y lo harás! Y mejores!
Subscribed. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks and welcome to the team!
Honey wake up. Layover aviation uploaded a new emirates a380 video
Honey is likely pissed off you woke her up for airplanes😂
I’m speaking out of experience..
Love it congrats from California USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸nice video love to eat 2 love it
Thanks for visiting Javier. Greetings back from Dubai!
Incredible video mate! Liked!
Thanks Jelmer!
Great video! :)
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?
From what I know, the amenity kits are distributed on overnight flights and on flights longer then 9 hours. But all the toiletries continue to be available on request.
Thanks for watching!
Bringing back memories of this exact flight in 2015 and 2017. Can't go wrong with Emirates' A380 🤌
Never wrong!
Besides having this your best flight of the year, this is also your best vlog of 2022! Keep travelling & filming in 2023 👍
Thank you Ravi! Glad you think it was.
Big plans expected in 2023! Have a great year buddy!
Your videos are really well edited. To someone watching it feels like you're actually the one experiencing the flight. Just subtitles to report. I like the added info not usually included in airline reviews such other planes outside or a city down below.
Hey there, thanks a lot for the comment! Very glad you enjoy it.
I really don’t like the editing part but I am glad it turned out nice.
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 😛
Thanks again, have a nice one!
Great video. I would like to see Cyprus Airways trip report, but I'm not sure if you can afford it. I saw that company on flightradar24 it flies Larnaca(Lca) to Dubrovnik (Dbv). 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.
Ciao Luka!
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!
I’ll do my best to find something more interesting though, that I can promise.
Sretna Nova Godina!!
'Stairway to Heaven' -Heh, I'll remember that! And yes, I get the Led Zeppelin reference...
They could put it as a soundtrack by the stairs.. 🤪
