22 Hours On World's BEST Business Class, GONE WRONG (Emirates A380)

I've been dying to share about the Emirates experience because it's one of my favorites. But as the title suggests, things don't always go according to plan.

Our layover in Dubai takes an unexpected turn. How do you cope with a 22-hour flight when things start to go south?

I flew Emirates recently, the food was amazing and the staff were friendly.

[livinginhell]

sadly I have to say - and I have lived in Dubai now for 20 years- that lately all this happens quite frequently on the EK flights. What I really do not appreciate is the "atitude thing" that you mentioned, which nowadays seems to be company policy at Emirates. The planes are full, so apparently they think they can afford that kind of passenger treatment, BUT: once a reputation is damaged, it is nearly impossible to repair.

[davenorth]

I’m delighted that you like Emirates. A couple things I don’t like. One is the 7 across in biz class on the 777. The second is paying for lounge access on many biz class flights. Good review!

[ianhamilton]

Finally, Finally - through the magic of algorithms the female Josh Cahill. She's Awesome !!

[edwardschwenk]

One more point. I don't blame a person for not being happy about paying major $$$, and having a rough time on the flight. But remember that as recently as 150 years ago people were still crossing the oceans in sailboats, and the trip could take a month, and a half.

[josetshim]

Sorry for what you have experienced on this flight but we've all had once that awful flying journey and some people even more than once but overall flying still remains a thrilling and pleasant experience...

[fluffyfour]

I wasn't even aware one could select a business class flight on Emirates without lounge access. Was it an upgrade fare? Thanks. I could see how tired you were and know how things seem worse when you are. Thank you for your honest opinion and it's nice to see a woman doing a flight review. So many of them are done by men and it's great, as a woman myself, to get a female perspective

[MrDoobee]

I have never heard of having to buy business class lounge access ticket before. It should be included in your flight ticket... it was in mine back in 2019 plus chauffeur service to and from the airport

[geordiejones]

Absolutely shocking, in my opinion Emirates totally let you down with both customer services and there staff, especially the lady in the lounge area, they all need re training or removing from there jobs.
This type of service for the price you paid was disgusting.

[TheMurexin]

I know how it is, we had on our flight in 2015 from Munich to Johannesburg also an unpleasant crew on the flight from Dubai to Johannesburg in the Trippel 7, in the A380 they were all super nice.

[defiantarlington]

It's another experience showing that the crew is important and can make THE difference. Sometimes the Emirates crew can be a bit haughty. But I've had great flights with them too. But yes, nowadays where ticket prices are so high, one can indeed expect excellent service. I can't comment on the lounge situation. Some tickets don't include access, and one should always check the conditions beforehand. And another tip: Not all travelers like to be filmed. But thank you for your video. Maybe it will help Emirates improve their service. Because nothing is better than a great business class flight.

[betelgeuse]

Oh wow Emirates give you little plane shoes and pyjamas!!! I haven't flown Emirates since 2020 and they didn't give pyjamas and shoes back then! Flew Qantas 6 months ago and I although they give you pyjamas they don't give out plane shoes, I brought my own special rubber plane shoes to move around the cabin. If you're planning to fly business class long haul DO NOT waste your money on Qantas, they have been consistently getting worse and worse! Their little travel bags are literally what you'd expect to find in premium economy, lounges are just horrid, and service... I'm sorry, what service?! Emirates have now become my number one after my last Qantas experience! You have to show us what the Emirates pyjamas looks like!!! I can't wait for my next Emirates trip to Europe!!!

[mattianardelli]

It’s honestly quite absurd to own a business class ticket (directly bought and not upgraded into) and do not have a right to enter the business class lounge. At least have a service similar to Lufthansa where they keep business and senator lounges, which are on different levels but still offer you complementary accommodation while holding the ticket

[travelscholar]

What a well done video with excellent commentary and editing! You are right; even the best companies can have a bad day. But a poor attitude from someone in a hospitality or service role is one of the most aggravating things! ❤ NL. Tot ziens!

[joelmartinez-zrzm]

I’m sorry if I spend $5000 on a ticket, you better believe that everything better be in order

[robertmarton]

Some elements of this are disingenuous. $5000 sounds like a lot, but for the ticket to not include lounge access it was purchased in a budget 'special' ticket bucket. Some context here would have been helpful and you could have cited to the "regular" ticket price as a reference. No excuses for poor passenger behavior, or poor seat quality. Emirates have different A380 layouts etc and no doubt the older frames get sent to places like Bali.

[ssgnatural]

It should be automatically lounge access for business class tickets, I can't understand why you have to buy lounge access

[HiThere-ocsz]

It is disappointing when passengers don’t observe good etiquette like getting drunk etc. it makes flying long haul so unpleasant! Shouldn’t the business lounge be part of Emirates business class service?

[mohammedali-rhcq]

I tried that same seat at the back!! Horrible noise!! Will never repeat, always chose front seats, of not available I would travel economy. And also its completely illegal to vape on the plane, I would have video recorder that and showed it to the police at dubai Airport as soon as landed. Horrible lounge lady, I would have taken her name and write an official complaint to emirates. Hope you have better experience.

[concettaadams]

I switched to Qatar which I had one incident in Dubai.
I’m a just a silver class, but I have access to Dubai lounge.
The staff, which I still remember her name, actually passed a rude remark in her native language which I understood that even I have access to Business class lounge..
