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). 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. As of 2019, it was also 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 all continents (except Antarctica) through 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, and the second-largest in terms of freight tonne-kilometers flown.

About Boeing 777 (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) 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).

As an EK flight attendant myself I really loved when you said you submitted your compliments for Sam on the website, it is always highly appreciated and rewarding receiving positive feedback from our customers 🥰 I am glad you enjoyed the service and the products!
Fly Better!

Imagine paying 10k for a flight ticket and having to pay for wifi😢

Feels like a movie. The production and narration and flow and sound effects. Stunning work

88, 000 points! That’s an amazing deal. My wife and I just paid 160, 000 points for business class one way from Milan to JFK. We’ve never fly business class or Emirates before, so we’re really excited!

Because of your videos I'm getting on a plane if I can afford it JetBlue actually after 20 years. Last time I was on there was a slight mishap and it scared me but I just beat cancer so I'm going to go see my brother I haven't seen in decades! Thank you for helping me with my fear of flying. I'm sure your videos make other people feel safe as well.

[mirrorocean]

I love that you are so honest while still showing your appreciation for the good bits. It makes it feel real (and genuinely informative) while still allowing us to live vicariously through you :)

I was once lucky enough to get upgraded to Emirates First Class from Business at the gate in Dubai, on the second leg of a journey from London to Bangkok for work.
Unfortunately whilst I was overjoyed to be upgraded (and no idea why), the timing wasn't ideal. I had "overindulged" at the lounge and then during the flight from London to Dubai, with the grand plan of simply sleeping it off on the red-eye to Bangkok. But now I was in First class for the first time, so I had to obviously over-indulge again!
I loved it but not the hangover!
Having said that, there's no way I'd ever pay for it unless I became extremely wealthy. It's not enough of an upgrade in how you ultimately feel getting off the flight to justify the expense over business. It's like the champagne they serve you - do you ultimately really enjoy the $300 bottle more than the $50 bottle you'd get in business?

[battyrae]

so this highlighted something really important for me. your reviews of the alternative meals are going to be SERIOUSLY valuable for ppl that need those meals. youre fulfilling a vital niche!
And thanks from me as well, someone that doesnt drink and has been feeling sad abt not knowing abt drinks other than the bloody champagne. they have legit fresh squeezed orange juice? absolutely worth it to me lets go

[patriciafuchs]

Love that you got to use binoculars! The food and service sound marvelous. I always enjoy watching your reviews, they are honest and thorough. Loved it!

[arushitolia]

hi dan! I have been subbed to you for around 2 or 3 years now and i have to say, you and your videos make me so so so happy, i have been thorugh the works recently and everytime i see your video it just maeks me so so so happy, i know you probably wont see this comment but i wanted to thank you because you never failed to make me happy :)

[mrh]

Only ever flown economy on emirates 😢 but just did BKK-Doha-LHR in Q-suites which was great. Doha-BKK was on an A-380 which was great also - unfortunately trip to Doha was on a BA plane - how far they have fallen…My only ever 1st class trips were BA flights a very long time ago 😢

[jolajolcia]

Considering that I will never see business or first class I am extremely grateful for your videos. Thank you❤

[turk]

Truly, your channel is one the best of this type. Well done! I must say that what you showed in this video is astounding. It is a tad hard to swallow the tragic gap between rich and poor, but it is entertaining to watch - and dream! But, I will always be travelling with the "standard carriers" getting leg cramps and eating bad, airport food. I almost wish I had done a trip report for my last trip: Viva Air from Miami to Medellin. I can promise you, it was the polar opposite of your experience in this video! Keep up the great work and I hope you reach 777, 000 subscribers soon.

[TheWhoreculture]

Always great to see you (& a cameo from Oskar was a lovely surprise). I have actually tried this experience - a client was paying on an insane design job - it's awesome, I'm a non drinker so ignored the champagne too.
As for everything else I have to agree, though TBH left to myself business class is fine.
Great to see the two of you are easing back a bit after your 100 countries adventure, very much looking forward to update from both channels.
Wishing you both, health, happiness & all the very best💥👊👏👏👏❤💯💙💙👌⭐'s💯👋✌

[GregSmith]

Fantastic production, Dan! EK has one of the worlds best products!

Happy flying ✈️

[airfoxtrot]

Great video Dan, too expensive for me but i always love watching how amazing Emirates first class videos.

[samridhsingla]

Emirates should put that on A380 too so the experience can be long….imagine flying Dubai to LA on this seat

[kevinhsu]

I finally got to experience this 777 suite couple days ago. It was incredible. The bed is beyond. The whole experience was so extra. After flying in this suite, I was "downgraded" to A380 first class for the next leg of the flight! LOL. Seat wasn't nearly as good but at least there was an in-flight shower.

[rahul-obhn]

yeah thanks man, your review really stopped from buying this first class ticket, I was so close.
