About Emirates (from Wikipedia):
Emirates (Arabic: طَيَران الإمارات DMG: Ṭayarān Al-Imārāt) is one of two flag carriers of the United Arab Emirates (the other being Etihad Airways). Based in Garhoud, Dubai, the airline is a subsidiary of The Emirates Group, which is owned by the government of Dubai's Investment Corporation of Dubai. It is the largest airline in the Middle East, operating over 3,600 flights per week from its hub at Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport. It operates to more than 150 cities in 80 countries across six continents on its fleet of nearly 300 aircraft. Cargo activities are undertaken by Emirates SkyCargo. Emirates is the world's fourth-largest airline by scheduled revenue passenger-kilometers flown. It is also the second-largest in terms of freight tonne-kilometers flown.
About Boeing 777-300ER (from Wikipedia):
The 777-300ER ("ER" for Extended Range) is the B-market version of the -300. Its higher MTOW and increased fuel capacity permits a maximum range of 7,370 nautical miles (13,650 km; 8,480 mi) with 396 passengers in a two-class seating arrangement. The 777-300ER features raked and extended wingtips, a strengthened fuselage and wings and a modified main landing gear. Its wings have an aspect ratio of 9.0. It is powered by the GE90-115B turbofan, the world's most powerful jet engine with a maximum thrust of 115,300 lbf (513 kN).
About Airbus A380 (from Wikipedia):
The Airbus A380 is a very large wide-body airliner that was developed and produced by Airbus. It is the world's largest passenger airliner and only full-length double-deck jet airliner. Airbus studies started in 1988, and the project was announced in 1990 to challenge the dominance of the Boeing 747 in the long-haul market. The then-designated A3XX project was presented in 1994; Airbus launched the €9.5 billion ($10.7 billion) A380 programme on 19 December 2000. The first prototype was unveiled in Toulouse on 18 January 2005, with its first flight on 27 April 2005. It then obtained its type certificate from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on 12 December 2006.

Im very interested in a updated Asiana Review
Did you mean plane
Dan meeting Sam is the aviation DC/Marvel crossover we've all been waiting for.
Frr
Agreed!! I've been watching both of them for so long now so glad this finally happened!
Fr
And the fact that it were coincidental
@@sean_kingYeah, very coincidental haha. One of them gets paid for positive critique. Makes you wonder...
When Sam sat down, did he say "I heard you were talking smack about me..." LOL.
0:05 this sky shot is *MIND-BLOWINGLY* scenic 🤯❤️
Great interview Dan, loved it!
Love all your Emirates reviews!
Also glad the take-off rolls are back as a feature of your reviews.
Thanks for the video , keep in up ! What about reviewing AirFrance La Première ?
Thanks for inviting us to fly economy with you. really enjoyed it and still love flying economy even after experiencing the 'higher' cabins.
Hi,
When you say you prefer the last seat in a cabin,
Does the proximity to the WC
Not bother you with doors banging and toilet flushing?
Thanks
as a person who travelled a lot in the last row of an A330 that too of Saudia, it really isn't that big of an issue. You won't even feel it.
Thanks for the review, will be flying Emirates and both aircraft for the first time next August. Been looking at some experiences for what to expect....can't wait !
me too
Great video Dan!!!!!
Hey! I would like to share one of my experiences on an older seat design on one of their 777s from 2010 and unfortunately I would say the IFE's responsiveness was quite unresponsive. The aircraft to be exact was A6-ECZ which was about 12 years when I flew it back to 2022.
Heads up too if you are considering a Singapore Airlines economy comparison I really recommend flying the comfortable 2013 design seats on the 77Ws along with the (horrifying) regional 787-10s. Their soft product should be consistent across their fleet too.
Oh yeah. Definitely consider giving a try on ANA's The Suite first class too, and a retry of The Room on the Tokyo-London route, now a 12-14 hour flight to avoid Russian airspace. Plus their ecomony on their 77Ws and 787s are kind of contrasting too in terms of hard product 👌
Hi Dan, I can't stop watching your videos. Honestly, ever since I started watching your videos I've been getting more and more excited to fly emirates a380's from Amsterdam (AMS) to Tokyo (NRT) this upcoming may. As I was watching your videos, I noticed the music you put into the video's add a lot to the vibe that makes me so excited to go flying soon. I was wondering if you have a playlist of all the music that you use in your videos as I'd like to create a fly vibes playlist for when I'm going to fly and I want to put the songs in there that you feature in your videos. :D
Please continue making these amazing videos!
Thanks so much for your kind words, I'm so happy to hear that! Good idea - let me see about creating a playlist 🙏
I'll be taking my second set of flights with Emirates in economy this summer. I thought their hard and soft product were fantastic! I had been worried about flying again post-pandemic and with a newly diagnosed medical issue but everything went so smoothly. They were always so lovely! I look forward to flying them again. Yes, the ffm are hard to get and it's a steep price to use them. I will say, regarding carry-on luggage, Emirates was so lovely when it came to my second carry-on. They just asked if they could check it for me, free of charge, after I'd already checked in 2 large bags! Wow! As a NYer, I'm used to being nickel and dimed so this customer service was shocking. It made the price worth it.
Nonstop Dan, you should review Royal Air Maroc B737 MAX 8 business class!
Would you recommend economy for a15h flight (380)? Thanks for this video!
I’ve flown the Emirates 777-300ER and I’m excited to fly both that and the A380 in July!
10 seats in a row in a 777, that is awful, real cattle class.🙈
Dan if you get a chance can you do an episode on how to optimize points travel from US to Australia. Can't seem to find a good deal on business class
18:03 sneaking this in the same video with THAT cameo appearance 😂
Years ago, the 7kg carry on limit was strictly enforced on the 2am flight out of Brisbane that usually has a light-load... Experienced it a couple of times where I had to weight my carry-on at the check-in counter and at the gate...
That plus no personal bag is really off putting.
@@davidlazarus67 have to agree with the no personal bag rule of emirates. this will be a big struggle for me as i've always travelled with 2 bags on board, and 2 checked bags
Perfect review 👏
Bought the A380 luggage tag on my last Emirates F flight. Couldn’t resist.
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Thanks NonStopDan😊
Thanks for another great review! I'm an economy class flyer, so I really appreciate honest Y reviews.
I flew an Emirates 777-300ER with 3-4-3 and absolutely hated it! I felt jammed into my seat, elbow to elbow with the person next to me. And yet a 777 with 3-3-3 such as Singapore is much more comfortable. Jamming in that extra seat is a no-go for me. The A380 with 3-4-3 is much more comfortable than a 777 with 3-4-3, not surprising since the A380 fuselage is wider than a 777.
I checked seatguru seat maps, and sure enough Emirates A380 economy seats are wider (18") versus Emirates 777 seats (17"). You were lucky to be on a 777 with no one next to you. I will avoid any 777 with 3-4-3 unless there's no acceptable option.
Thank you Dan! Love your work! 👍
Where did you get your green polo top from? And how much was it? It's really nice? 🙂
I have an Emirates flight coming up that I'm booked premium economy, I wat to upgrade to business with points, but it says "upgrade not available" I see plenty of seats still open, any tips?
I used Emirates encomy from London to Manila via Dubai back in 2022 and was amazed at how good the quality and service was. I've booked them again this summer and I can't wait. Thanks for your videos!
SAM! Awesome!
Thanks for the review Dan, I'm looking forward to flying on Emirates pretty soon but thanks for showing us the vegan meals that they offer as well, that's a huge plus for me
love the vids- keep up the good work :)
i booked the seats near exit row for extra leg room since i'm a tall person, i hope i dint mess up. mine is a 7 hour flight
Hi Dan. Taking this plane to DXB in a few weeks. I've chosen row 36 too...are there any issues with limited recline? (as mentioned on some websites!).
I remember it wasn't an issue on A380. Sadly not an option on this route! 😢 Merci.
This video is just what I needed! I’m flying Emirates for the first time from Manila to New York in October. I will be riding both types of planes! 😊
Both good planes for economy. Don’t waste your money on emirates business class on the 777.
@@MH-hr9wp sometimes you have no choice. You're one flight might be on an a380 and then the connecting flight might be a 777 or vice versa
Really enjoy what you're putting out there!!.
Hi Dan, good morning, what I liked most was at lunch and also at dinner, but it was a surprise for Sam to show up, but there are also some tickets that you can buy a ticket for car above all, but it's the value of the tickets, which aren't cheap, that makes it worth buying.
I actually smiled when Sam was shown. How exciting!!
Emirates has a special place in my heart. I remember flying long haul routes as a kid from Australia to the UK and getting my polaroid and stuffed toy, I think it was also the first time I had a 7up.
Hi Dan, flying with Emirates to NZ in November 2024, can anyone tell me if the seats in from of the bulkhead fully recline? Love all your vids by the way
I flew to Sri Lanka in December 2023 with Air Arabia but we used Sri Lankan to go to the Maldives which was stunning and I would definitely use Emirates over any other airline. I loved the Maldives and I love your videos too! Such amazing content especially for me who is an av-geek!
Thanks for the review. Flying to Dubai from Houston on an A380 this weekend.
Have fun!!
For anyone wondering, music during "Nonstop Dan Seat Database", 3:30, is Twostop - By Lotus
Is there a difference between sitting upstairs and downstairs ?
In the video Dan talks about seat 79A. All the seat review sites note these as a bad seat due to limited incline. Which is accurate? Would a 65A or the across the isle in 79 be ok? I did not under the comment about the plugs either, seems like all seat have them
Hey Dan! I have a question and if anybody knows the answer please feel free to let me know! So if I was to fly emirates, how would I know what aircraft I’m flying on before getting my boarding pass or days prior to my flight.
planning to go out to downtown dubai on a 9hr layover, how’s the immigration in DXB airport during the day?
What is the room with the sleeping person icon in the back?
Special guest! Tooo funny!
hey, thanks so much for this video, i'm flying emirates in two weeks, and thanks to you i'll have a charging port! great video
Thanks for doing some economy class reviews Dan. Much appreciated. Btw, I've yet to enjoy any seat on any Boeing! And yes, wherever possible, I will opt for the A380, even if it means later departure with a much longer lay over! The A380... it's worth it!
What about the seat width? It must be much wider on the A380.
These were two planes that actually flew over my house!
That's quite amazing.
Except when you’re trying to sleep then 10 A380’s fly over you every hour.@@yashdesai0654
With all of the experience Dan has accumulated in all these years traveling, I think a database for each airline for their seats and a calculation of miles made by Dan would be one of the best that anyone can possibily create.
🙏
Window seat in economy on the A380 is amazing
The space between the fuselage and the seat gives a lot more comfort. I flew the Qatar A350 (same route, 15hr+ flight) and the A380 is so much more comfortable
subscribed
what happened to your giveaway flight?
Can't wait to see Ana on this format
Nice video again. That legroom on the first part looked very tight.
Dan please do a video on Delta
I love economy class naration like this. Keep up the good work!
At the last second I thought "IT CAN'T BE SAM" WELL WHADDYA KNOW LMAOOOOOOOO
Hi Dan! U good? Do you mind me asking if you’re also going to do this review for Etihad? I forgot if you sad it or not 😅. It would be nice to see Saudia and Turkish as well. Hope you consider my suggestions! Have a good one!
Hi Dan , I am travelling in emirates this year , in june , I was wondering if they too provide free snacks like qatar ? qatar always had soo much loaded in the galley for economy class , I was not very sure about emirates ,
Yes they do! Emirates Is better at catering IMO, so don’t worry! They even have ice creams.
A380 over the 777 any day 👍
comfort wise yes
Which airline is best for the a380?
Emirates
last year i flew a 777-300er out of newcastle. on the flight there we had the oldest cabin they use, and tbh, it wasnt very comfortable. on the flight back we had a bit of a newer cabin but still wasn't the best. in all honesty, if a not as good ife system and no wifi isnt a deal breaker, and they fly to where you're going, the tui 787s are a more comfortable aircraft, and the crew seems a lot better too
Wow I'd love to take such a short flight on such a large plane with such large screens and with such a large meal!!
Good videos. May I ask why you travel so much ?
Awesome.
Having flown both the A380 and 77W back in January, when full to the brim, I can safely say that the legroom felt similar in my experience. I felt much more comfortable on the A380 thanks to a wider seat. But on both flights, I got a flashy new cabin on the 77W compared to a dated cabin on the A380, so I was torn between the two. BTW, I actually flew on A6-EEM from Toronto to Dubai back in May 2019.
I’ve also flown on A6-EEM lol! Back In 2015 when it was new!
Anyways, the newer A380 are out of this world awesome!
the best seat for me is only the window seat in any row in ALL aircraft
Hey NonstopDan, I was wondering if you could do a review on the emirates 777-200lr (lr standing for long range) business class?
Unlike the 777-300er(er standing for extended range) the 777-200lr does not have a middle seat and in general, the experience is better. You can find the 777-200lr on longer routes (12hrs+?). There aren’t many reviews of this, so it would be nice to see one. I hope you do this review!
True but it has a horrible economy class.
is ist possible to connect your private bluetoth headphones with the entertainment system, inside the A380 and the 777 ??
If it isn't built into the IFE, you can buy a little adaptor so you can use your own bluetooth headphones :)
How does Emirates economy compare to JAL economy?
nonstop dan...you commented on taking the later morning flight if flying to Maldives b/c the flight prior is always packed. What about the 02:40 am flight? Is that usually packed full as well?
I'd expect that to be quite full with connecting passengers from Europe!
Ok thanks. Will try to secure a seat at front of the plane to make the deboarding process easier!
we ended up booking the 2:40am DXB flight due to our Maldives schedule and I picked exit rows/Extra Legroom Seats 24, as hubby needs room to stretch his legs;. That should suffice well enough for a 4 hour flight. If I have extra points next year, and miles upgrade is available for Business Class, I'll try to snag that! lol Thanks for your help!@@NonstopDan
Ps one further comment. If focusing on Economy, understanding best transfer airports if you don’t have lounge access would be good. On other videos I have been put off Doha due to manner in which transfers are managed (eg long wait at gates). So irrespective of plane product I would be put off and would choose say Dubai or Singapore….having been through most major European hubs instinct would be to try less popular hubs if prices were still good
Totally agree did Bhx to Dxb and on to Hanoi. So A380 was on economy and very comfortable, then onward in 777. Omg I felt mu hip where being crushed compared to A380 but service was excellent as ever with Emirates. Great video
Incogni? OK, I’ve signed up for other sponsored items, but I raced to get this. $5/mo? It’s a no brainer.
Flew Emirates a few times and on a lot of occassions the staff were a tad grumpy. There was an occassional nice member of staff but on the whole everything seemed too much trouble for both cabin and ground staff. Economy in 777 is a horrible experience when it is full. I fell quite ill on one flight to Shanghai, due to being dehydrated (Dubai is extremely hot during the summer), and the staff treated me as a complete inconvenience, which made me feel even worse.
Are Emirates meals free or do you have to pay for them. I’m planning on booking a flight with in economy class with them and I’d just like to know. If anyone knows the answer I’d appreciate it if you’d tell me.
Y not showing result of Ek9?
15 years after the first A380s I'm still so excited to see them BUT I'm not rushing to fly them as often as I used to ad I just find boarding and deboarding to be too long and cumbersome. I feel like there was a stretch where I was always taking A380 flights on Emirates, Qatar, or Etihad, and boarding was just incredibly frustrating. Take that away,'the experience is still incredible. And those engines ❤
Emirates are great (I live in Dubai), you missed a trick from Muscat though, next time fly to Khasab, the best landing and take off.
I’m confused… you can’t have a carry-on and a personal item for under your seat?
This video captures the A380 perfectly. A bit of a Concorde moment where economics outweigh customer desires. Like Concorde, it will truly be a sad day when the A380 is retired and we are stuck in single deck twin engines.
Wow 100 k for a review good for you
Great review Dan! I can't wait to fly with their A380 in April for the first time. I have flown on their B777 before and would be curious to compare both.
How would you compare Singapore Airlines and Emirates A380 economy class?
Emirates A380 Is better than any A380 and this is because they had been receiving A380s until the very end, which means they have many new ones still with flashy cabins.
@Dan: how does the aviation fuel get to the Maldives? I guess they don't have a factory there 🤔
Just wish you'd done some longer hauls on these economy reviews but having listened to your podcast, we know that is something Dan doesn't do in economy 🤣
😅🤣
Hi Dan.
You went to my dream vacation spot and only caught another plane😢😢😢 always go for Airbus instead of Boeing to be safe
I was waiting for Sa. I saw you in his video
Your opinion if their Skywards+ is worth it for Dubai based travellers?
Would like to know this as well. To me it looks like the lowest tier of skywards+ is 100% not worth it but the other two maybe?
I was waiting for this vedio
Even Sam also boarding Emirates with Economy flights, and then both legends meets together is a most memorable moment ever.
Imagine if Nonstop Dan, Sam Chui and Swiss001 crossover together, it would be a aviation knowledge with a little bit humor feels environment
Keep it up legend 💪💪💪❤❤❤
Brother Dan locate more video of USA.
I don't know if you noticed but there was a Ryanair plane at the Maldives? This was while the a380 was taxiing
The A380 flight was from Amman, Jordan not Maldives.
The B777 flight was to the Maldives.
Built a380 wings for 20 years, and in a couple of weeks, I’m flying one one to Dubai! Finally 😅
