16 Hours in Emirates Premium Economy vs Business Class

I flew on Emirates A380 from Los Angeles to Dubai. This video features a close look of Emirates Premium Economy and Business Class on this ultra long haul flight.

I boarded the long flight and settled in Business Class which has updated interior of white leather seats. The flight had a small delay so I took the opportunity to experience Premium Economy Class. There were just a few passengers taking advantage of the Premium Economy cabin as Emirates has just added Premium Economy on US A380 flights including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, and New York. Flight attendant showed me the seat functions and I gave my recommendation of the best seats in Emirates Premium Economy.

During the flight, I checked out the meals served and compared those of Premium Economy with Economy Class. I was given some behind-the-scenes tips on how the Emirates crew operated the A380. At the end of the flight, I gave my verdict on flying in both Emirates Premium Economy and Business Class.

I reached out to Emirates for permission to film onboard so I can interact with the crew and film something different. The motivation for my vlog is to show you my experience and enjoy the trip together. It is not intended as a review because it is based on one single flight.

In Q3, I will launch a flight rating platform where everyone can rate their flight. This way, we will have a more consistent number of responses that can represent it fairly.

Sam, your interactions between the cabin crew is priceless!
Even in Economy Class on Emirates, the meals and in house entertainment are above a lot of other airlines.
Sam, wishing your mum a speedy recovery and blessings. Spent time with her and your fans will be waiting for you. Take care.

Great idea to distribute extra food amongst passengers. Hope all airlines take it up

Hi Sam. Praying for your mum 🙏🏼 Hope you enjoy lots of nice time with her. Thankyou for being brave to launch an aviation YouTube channel, maybe when not many people were interested and pioneering this genre! You deserve some well earned time off to spend with your mum and family.

Prayers for you, your mom, and your entire family. I recently lost my mom and it is heartbreaking to see your parents decline and depart this world.

Sending prayers for your mom, you and your family. Treasure the time you have with your mom. I recently lost my mom last month and it’s just now hitting me. I’m grateful for the time I spent with her and memories that we have made together. ❤

The crew seem so lovely on this flight. What a joy. I'm sure the 24 week bonus really helped but it goes to show the difference when staff are genuinely motivated to work. Such lovely ladies & lovely smiles.

It seems the Premium Economy product offers a fantastic value to people who want to try, but perhaps can't afford the amazing first and business class experiences that Emirates is so famous for. This still looks really comfortable, and for the first time, the airline food actually looks like something I would really enjoy! Yay for Tillamook! Praying for your mother. I'm sorry for this difficult time, but I'm so glad thay you are prioritizing your time with her. I know that she loves and appreciates you, and is clearly proud of you. May your time with her be warm and meaningful .

I always enjoy watching you interact with the staff & giving us a look into not only the cabins but a lot of the things that goes on within the airlines. This is what sets you apart the other “airline” YouTubers. Wishing your mom health & happiness

She was just amazing, her smile leaves you speechless. 

You interaction with the crew is amazing! 

Please keep you positive behavior and all my good wishes for your mother!!!

That in-flight cruising view of the a380 is magnificent, thanks for sharing 👍

ANA actually does that. On my recent flight with ANA from Chicago to Tokyo and Tokyo to Singapore, they handed out the business class drinks menu after the meal service to Premium Economy guests and asked to choose the wine of their choice including champagne. Thats a great way to reduce the wastage of wines opened for welcome drinks and for meal service.

Another fantastic video Sam! Really sorry to hear about your mum, sending you and the family lots of love ❤❤❤

[patriciafuchs]

It is nice learning how the crew operates, what a lovely experience you shared. Thank you, sending prayers for your mom and a hug for you

Hi Sam, wishing your mom a speedy recovery, keeping her in my prayers.

It's always nice to watch an Emirates a380 airliner with good service and facilities onboard, That mojito drink was the best that any other airline could barely offer I guess, overall its a good airline to travel to international trip.
