14 Hours in Emirates WORST Business Class Seat...

Emirates is easily one of the largest household names when it comes to travelling in luxury and style.

However, even they are prone to flop with their products every now and then. Join me as I experience what is surely one of the least impressive business class products out there on the Emirates 777.

It’s more than clear that these kind of configurations aren’t what one can expect from business class anymore. A seat like the Qsuite from Qatar for example is becoming the new standard for BC.

2-2-2 regional is bad enough and EK goes 2-3-2 long-haul? This is basically Premium Economy.

2-3-2 Emirates business class configuration is the worst (777-300ER). If you seat in a window seat, you will have to jump over the aisle seat to get to the toilet, worse when seats are in sleep mode.

This type of videos is a must to highlight shortcomings on reputed flights

I took an Emirates 777 from Dubai to Sydney (13+ hours) and also had a window seat. Your review is similar to my experience. I found the bed extremely uncomfortable - and I had to step over my neighbour twice to get to the bathroom (which wasn't easy). I will avoid this plane again if at all possible ...

The only time I voluntary took EKs B773 J was simply cause the price from Cape Town to Hong Kong only costed 2000 USD for 2 one way, which was crazy cheap. And then for the Dubai - Hong Kong leg we got upgraded to F on their A380 🤣

The Business Class One A380 Is So Much Better.Great Work

[GhazaliAziz]

Interesting. How about in and out from the seat. Do the middle seat person has to make way for you to go out? Thanks for sharing

[alexw]

😂 this was hilarious. When has this guy last travelled like the other 97%? Business class seat is "claustraphobic" ... this guy should be a comedian.

You flew the new b777 business class. On the older cabin the seat look even more outdated. But same seat configuration

[RonitKacholia]

Even I have been on the same exact flight from the exact same plane and it was quite disappointing and the privacy was below average but the food was quite decent and the crew was very nice and friendly.

The middle seat on old 777 business class isn't that bad if it's an airline that puts in decent partitions, but for the price you're paying it's pretty much unacceptable

Don't book Emirates Business Class unless it is on the A380. One of the reasons why Emirates has such a poor Business Class product on their 777s is so that they can use it as a way to stimulate sales of their First Class product. Also, these poor Business Class products are typically put on routes where there is a lot of VFR (Visiting Friends Relatives) traffic between Origin/Destination pairs such as Seattle/India.

Thanks alot for heads up about that seat config. It turns out its the standard we get when flying out of Oslo to Dubai. No thanks, not untill seating situation is improved.

[ashishadhikari]

Feels like an upgraded premium economy. Do they still charge the same amount as other aircrafts?

[auroraenergywellness]

I am trying to learn the planes of the is this 777 EK096 ? Im looking into whatever that is . .and see a lot of reviews for 777-300R and don't know which is which or which is older... business class is so different from yours and the 300R ones .. so I am trying to figure out which 777 I would be on ... haha Great Review by the way! just have no one to ask - so have to ask you! and with you on the seating arrangement .. next full service they need to strip that and structure the seats like West Jets

[VirtousStoic]

Just because of this video I am gonna stick to Singapore and Etihad airlins

Thanks bro

[jennifer_mertens]

I would think the only time the middle seat would be an acceptable option is if you were traveling with a child. The layout of the middle seats seems dubious at best. Thank goodness choosing your own seats online is par for the course nowadays. Otherwise, someone's going to be severely disappointed when presented with that 2-3-2 configuration upon boarding.

Not all business class seats are created equal 👌
