Nobody has done more with the Airbus A380 Super Jumbo than Emirates, especially in “Emirates First Class.”
But does it still live up to the hype? We spent 25 hours traveling halfway around the planet putting Emirates First Class to the test on the A380.
In this video, you’ll join us for two incredible Emirates First Class A380 flights, a visit to the Emirates First Class Lounge, and one of the most magnificent aviation experiences available today.
You’ll see the Emirates First Class A380 seats, which are really more like private cocoons. We’ll highlight all of the details and give you a sense for what it’s like to sit, sleep, and eat in them.
You’ll see a grand total of seven meals from our Emirates First Class A380 journey from Cairo to Dubai and onto New York’s JFK International Airport.
You’ll see the Emirates First Class A380 inflight entertainment, which is among the best in the world.
You’ll see the Emirates First Class A380 service we experienced. In a bit of a spoiler alert, I’ll say the Emirates First Class cabin crew were always there when we wanted something, but they didn’t hover unnecessarily. Put another way, it was true Emirates First Class Service!
You’ll even go inside not one, but two Emirates Lounges. The Emirates Lounge in Cairo and the mind-blowing Emirates First Class Lounge in Dubai.

Let's just remember that the Wright Brothers' flight lasted 12 seconds, this flight was 13 hours, or 46,800 seconds with 2 floors, a bar, and a shower. Good mother of god.
-
The only reason the A380 hasn't died an early death is because of Emirates. Their love and loyalty for this plane has kept airbus busy
-
As long as one of these flights costs more than my car, I doubt I will ever experience it :( It's a different world for sure
-
We flew economy on an Emirates 380, and it was easily the equivalent of any US airline first class. Big seats, good food, an overnight pack, and an entertainment system with 1000+ movies! For such a big plane, loading and unloading were surprisingly efficient.
-
So true about the smooth transition to flight in an A380. I've only had the chance to fly it once, on Air France from JFK to Paris in 2013. Takeoff felt like someone on the flight deck just pushed the "up" button. Smooth and quiet. An amazing airplane.
-
I love that they have cameras around the plane that you can watch during takeoff and flight. I have always thought that would be a good idea for the passengers to be able to see and it looks like someone finally agreed with me. This has probably been around for a long time, but I haven't flown in about 10 years.

Oh man, I was an international road warrior for 20 years - this tugged at my heart. I love that lounge in Dubai. I've been there more than a few times in the wee hours and it's ALWAYS popping.
-
One of the most satisfying experiences that I have had on the A380 flying first class from JFK to Dubai. It was simply "out of this world".
-
I've personally flown with Emirates on an A380, just in economy, and I must say it's one of the comfiest economy class seats you can sit in, leg room is amazing, also got the TV
-
I flew Emirates First Class on the A380 from Sydney to Dubai to London and return in 2013 and 2014. I was interested to see that very little is different. The pjs are redesigned and the amenities pack is the same brand but updated in look (female version). The only 2 real differences I spotted were that in 2013 the seat had a massage function, which was great, and that in both years the little half moon shaped compartment in front of the TV fitted a half moon shaped box with far more lotions etc than you showed. No little towel packet - actual bottles and containers of nice smelly stuff in a pretty box to take home. By my 4th flight I wasn't using the shower (but grabbed a full set of the excellent hair and body products, plus some hairbrushes I still use) and really only ate the caviar and some soup on the shorter leg (never pass up caviar!) I found all the food tasty and well cooked, but then I didn’t try the steak (far too fussy to risk that my rare steak would be over done). All in all, your review was very interesting to see and very accurate as far as my experience goes. I look forward to watching more now I've found your channel.

I miss the years when I lived in Dubai where I had the massive chance to fly multiple times the Emirates a380 first class. It is always a truly exceptional: the seat, service…

The A380 is quite amazing... Passenger capacity, first class space, and just amazing an aircraft of this size can take off. Great videos you've posted. I have not been on it, but your videos of the 787, A380 and other aircraft give me a chance. I was a former business traveler and my fiance worked for an airline--my Mom predicted I'd marry someone who worked for an airline. My fiance and later our daughter both loved air travel and air travel was more enjoyable when I traveled with family which I first started doing in '66. Glad you and your wife chose a world vacation for your honeymoon. Vacations are a memory that always gives, introducing us to cultures and experiences that are wonderful.

-
Jeb, it is so heart warming to see you and Suzanne enjoying your young lives together like this. God bless you and your families.

I've also had the once in a lifetime oppurtunity, and WOW... it was simply astounding. the cabin crew were so nice in everything and we were provided top tier meals throughout the flight. the lounge was also huge and the bathrooms had showers and it was BIG. if you ever do this, experience it to the fullest. also, the flight was from SFO to DXB (san francisco to dubai intl)
