Watch this video if you want to know what it's truly like to fly on Emirates' worst and most outdated business class seat. While Emirate's service and food was fantastic, it's hard to get past the seat design in this full 777 business class trip report of my flight from Dubai to Ho Chi Minh City.

This is NOT an airline/hotel promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

Recently flew the 777 with Emirates. Very apprehensive of the seat but while not as good as 1-2-1 configuration, I really liked it. The service was amazing and the seat was great. During the trip I also flew business on Qantas, Cathay and China Eastern. All 1-2-1 but the Emirates flight was the best overall!

[christianbayerstein]

Well, that is the business class Emirates does not advertise but that is in more than 50 % of their fleet, 2-3-2 with angled flat beds. Shocking 😳

[fredfalcon]

I really enjoy your calm and well balanced flight Reviews! Keep Up the good Work! Greetings from Germany !

[jean-francoisboydens]

I agree on a lot of points. We recently had 2 flight to come back from Phuket to Brussels. The seats wasn't the best one even it was a real full flat one. We had only the amenity kit on one of the two flight. The cabin crew said : "oh, it is only for flights to Dubai, not from"... Strange. On Qatar business flights, we had anemities and pyjamas on both of the 2 flights from Brussels to Phuket. The other problem on that business class was the delay between the takeoff (20:00) and the meal serving (22:30). The cabin crew was too busy to put all the "seat covers" for the fully booked business cabin. We felt asleep during the meal service and didn't get the dessert. And so we didn't take that seat cover. It seems there was not enough people to take care of the business passengers. Not a great experience. The worst part of the first flight were the people around. Noisy all the time. Not listening to the cabin crew (no seatbelt during takeoff, lading or at any time).... Seat reclined during take off and landing even the cabin crew ask them several times. Sorry but next time, if the flight is on a 777, I'll choose another company for a business flight.

That seat takes me back, WAY back, to American's long haul 777 Business Class seats in the late '90s and early '00s. They were in dreaded 2-3-2 configuration and were "cradle" seats, with 55° of recline. I flew AA 777s twice monthly from Chicago to Tokyo and then London back to Chicago, flying Cathay Pacific around Asia and to Frankfurt, and BA's domestic Business Class to London. Fortunately, I had a ton of free First Class upgrades on AA, so I was able to avoid the cradle seat.

These seats remind me of my last ever business class flight on EK from like, 20 years ago? A private cocoon design with a personal lamp. It was memorable, but this was in an age before lie-flats became the business class standard.

Someday I'll fly in business class again.

Emirates tends to use this type of configuration for all of their middleast <-> southeast asia flights. It's okay if you're traveling with a family member but it's certainly a very different product from what you get on their flagship A380s that go from Dubai to London / USA .

[RolandStone-wsvm]

I’m with you on the left armrest but it’s still Emirates for us. The seamless service from our home to the airport, quick security and into the lounge, easy boarding and a driver waiting for us at the other end. Consistent and easy.

[gebe]

I do understand your concerns, but I used to fly this when we were two (+1 baby without seat allocation) and when we fly it as a family of three with a 9 year old child. And it is just perfect! Quick night flights as we used to do out of Yangon, just wonderful. Daytime or night time flights as three with a little kid, perfect with her in the middle. Obviously the A380 is much better, as newer products such as the last Eithad we took, but kinda inconvenient when your child still likes to sleep next to both of you.

[kennotken]

Any plan to expand SGN in the near future? The airport looks too small for the city’s size

[floridaguy]

I enjoyed watching your endorsement of the luggage used on your travels around the world. I am 69 but wisdom is timeless. I remember on tv the same sort of thing when Samsonite would throw a suitcase of theirs from the top of whatever and see it come careening down the pavement and in perfect order, without a scratch!! That is cool. BTW, I used to live in Miami, per my @ on youtube but my wife and I live north of Atlanta. THAT airport is huge. Your videos are so well produced.

[chavandposh]

God that Business class is essentially Cathay's regional business class seat in glitter

[robertmarton]

Holy Moly, after Lufty Biz, this Emirates 777 Old Biz, you just need to quickly post a BA Old Club World to make the crap biz class triple crown.

[botruong]

Thanks Kelvin it is a very nice trip report i am enjoy your vlog with my cup off coffee...

[cordial]

What is it with cheese plates on planes and in restaurants. The cheese to crackers ratio is always absurdly off.

[dennisrettke]

Great video as always - thank you very much! It's not just the business class that's bad on these 777-300ERs, it's also the economy class. I go out of my way to avoid Emirates in their 777s. The leg room is good, but honestly they are so cramped width-wise. Maybe they really did anticipate armless customers?

[julytien]

When did they put 1st class in for the SGN flights??? asking for a friend thanks

[aw]

2:35 Please don't call me Shirley.
Anyway... 🙂 I can confirm those LEVEL8 suitcases are very well made, having collected a decent number to compare to. It's my go-to bag for check-in luggage.

[umeshudeer]

Thank you so much for this! Very nearly booked a 777 for one leg of my flight but will be steering well clear of it...

[alexanderkemur]

Hi, if possible, pls make a review on Emirates route Dubai - Bali (or vv). Curious with the A380 services on that route. Thank you
