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 Airways). 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. It is 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 six continents on 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. It is also the second-largest in terms of freight tonne-kilometers flown.
About Boeing 777-300ER (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; 8,480 mi) 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).
About Airbus A380 (from Wikipedia):
The Airbus A380 is a very large wide-body airliner that was developed and produced by Airbus. It is the world's largest passenger airliner and only full-length double-deck jet airliner. Airbus studies started in 1988, and the project was announced in 1990 to challenge the dominance of the Boeing 747 in the long-haul market. The then-designated A3XX project was presented in 1994; Airbus launched the €9.5 billion ($10.7 billion) A380 programme on 19 December 2000. The first prototype was unveiled in Toulouse on 18 January 2005, with its first flight on 27 April 2005. It then obtained its type certificate from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on 12 December 2006.

Im very interested in a updated Asiana Review
Dan meeting Sam is the aviation DC/Marvel crossover we've all been waiting for.
Frr
Agreed!! I've been watching both of them for so long now so glad this finally happened!
Fr
And the fact that it were coincidental
@@sean_kingYeah, very coincidental haha. One of them gets paid for positive critique. Makes you wonder...
When Sam sat down, did he say "I heard you were talking smack about me..." LOL.
0:05 this sky shot is *MIND-BLOWINGLY* scenic 🤯❤️
Love all your Emirates reviews!
Great interview Dan, loved it!
Also glad the take-off rolls are back as a feature of your reviews.
Thanks for the video , keep in up ! What about reviewing AirFrance La Première ?
Thanks for another great review! I'm an economy class flyer, so I really appreciate honest Y reviews.
I flew an Emirates 777-300ER with 3-4-3 and absolutely hated it! I felt jammed into my seat, elbow to elbow with the person next to me. And yet a 777 with 3-3-3 such as Singapore is much more comfortable. Jamming in that extra seat is a no-go for me. The A380 with 3-4-3 is much more comfortable than a 777 with 3-4-3, not surprising since the A380 fuselage is wider than a 777.
I checked seatguru seat maps, and sure enough Emirates A380 economy seats are wider (18") versus Emirates 777 seats (17"). You were lucky to be on a 777 with no one next to you. I will avoid any 777 with 3-4-3 unless there's no acceptable option.
Would you recommend economy for a15h flight (380)? Thanks for this video!
Hi,
When you say you prefer the last seat in a cabin,
Does the proximity to the WC
Not bother you with doors banging and toilet flushing?
Thanks
as a person who travelled a lot in the last row of an A330 that too of Saudia, it really isn't that big of an issue. You won't even feel it.
Thanks for inviting us to fly economy with you. really enjoyed it and still love flying economy even after experiencing the 'higher' cabins.
Hey! I would like to share one of my experiences on an older seat design on one of their 777s from 2010 and unfortunately I would say the IFE's responsiveness was quite unresponsive. The aircraft to be exact was A6-ECZ which was about 12 years when I flew it back to 2022.
Heads up too if you are considering a Singapore Airlines economy comparison I really recommend flying the comfortable 2013 design seats on the 77Ws along with the (horrifying) regional 787-10s. Their soft product should be consistent across their fleet too.
Oh yeah. Definitely consider giving a try on ANA's The Suite first class too, and a retry of The Room on the Tokyo-London route, now a 12-14 hour flight to avoid Russian airspace. Plus their ecomony on their 77Ws and 787s are kind of contrasting too in terms of hard product 👌
Hi Dan. Taking this plane to DXB in a few weeks. I've chosen row 36 too...are there any issues with limited recline? (as mentioned on some websites!).
I remember it wasn't an issue on A380. Sadly not an option on this route! 😢 Merci.
Thanks for the review, will be flying Emirates and both aircraft for the first time next August. Been looking at some experiences for what to expect....can't wait !
me too
10 seats in a row in a 777, that is awful, real cattle class.🙈
Nonstop Dan, you should review Royal Air Maroc B737 MAX 8 business class!
Hi Dan, I can't stop watching your videos. Honestly, ever since I started watching your videos I've been getting more and more excited to fly emirates a380's from Amsterdam (AMS) to Tokyo (NRT) this upcoming may. As I was watching your videos, I noticed the music you put into the video's add a lot to the vibe that makes me so excited to go flying soon. I was wondering if you have a playlist of all the music that you use in your videos as I'd like to create a fly vibes playlist for when I'm going to fly and I want to put the songs in there that you feature in your videos. :D
Please continue making these amazing videos!
Thanks so much for your kind words, I'm so happy to hear that! Good idea - let me see about creating a playlist 🙏
I'll be taking my second set of flights with Emirates in economy this summer. I thought their hard and soft product were fantastic! I had been worried about flying again post-pandemic and with a newly diagnosed medical issue but everything went so smoothly. They were always so lovely! I look forward to flying them again. Yes, the ffm are hard to get and it's a steep price to use them. I will say, regarding carry-on luggage, Emirates was so lovely when it came to my second carry-on. They just asked if they could check it for me, free of charge, after I'd already checked in 2 large bags! Wow! As a NYer, I'm used to being nickel and dimed so this customer service was shocking. It made the price worth it.
Dan if you get a chance can you do an episode on how to optimize points travel from US to Australia. Can't seem to find a good deal on business class
I have an Emirates flight coming up that I'm booked premium economy, I wat to upgrade to business with points, but it says "upgrade not available" I see plenty of seats still open, any tips?
Hi Dan, flying with Emirates to NZ in November 2024, can anyone tell me if the seats in from of the bulkhead fully recline? Love all your vids by the way
Where did you get your green polo top from? And how much was it? It's really nice? 🙂
I’ve flown the Emirates 777-300ER and I’m excited to fly both that and the A380 in July!
planning to go out to downtown dubai on a 9hr layover, how’s the immigration in DXB airport during the day?
Great video Dan!!!!!
i booked the seats near exit row for extra leg room since i'm a tall person, i hope i dint mess up. mine is a 7 hour flight
Perfect review 👏
I used Emirates encomy from London to Manila via Dubai back in 2022 and was amazed at how good the quality and service was. I've booked them again this summer and I can't wait. Thanks for your videos!
Years ago, the 7kg carry on limit was strictly enforced on the 2am flight out of Brisbane that usually has a light-load... Experienced it a couple of times where I had to weight my carry-on at the check-in counter and at the gate...
That plus no personal bag is really off putting.
@@davidlazarus67 have to agree with the no personal bag rule of emirates. this will be a big struggle for me as i've always travelled with 2 bags on board, and 2 checked bags
Bought the A380 luggage tag on my last Emirates F flight. Couldn’t resist.
love the vids- keep up the good work :)
In the video Dan talks about seat 79A. All the seat review sites note these as a bad seat due to limited incline. Which is accurate? Would a 65A or the across the isle in 79 be ok? I did not under the comment about the plugs either, seems like all seat have them
18:03 sneaking this in the same video with THAT cameo appearance 😂
Hey Dan! I have a question and if anybody knows the answer please feel free to let me know! So if I was to fly emirates, how would I know what aircraft I’m flying on before getting my boarding pass or days prior to my flight.
I flew to Sri Lanka in December 2023 with Air Arabia but we used Sri Lankan to go to the Maldives which was stunning and I would definitely use Emirates over any other airline. I loved the Maldives and I love your videos too! Such amazing content especially for me who is an av-geek!
Thanks for the review Dan, I'm looking forward to flying on Emirates pretty soon but thanks for showing us the vegan meals that they offer as well, that's a huge plus for me
Good videos. May I ask why you travel so much ?
Thank you Dan! Love your work! 👍
nonstop dan...you commented on taking the later morning flight if flying to Maldives b/c the flight prior is always packed. What about the 02:40 am flight? Is that usually packed full as well?
I'd expect that to be quite full with connecting passengers from Europe!
Ok thanks. Will try to secure a seat at front of the plane to make the deboarding process easier!
we ended up booking the 2:40am DXB flight due to our Maldives schedule and I picked exit rows/Extra Legroom Seats 24, as hubby needs room to stretch his legs;. That should suffice well enough for a 4 hour flight. If I have extra points next year, and miles upgrade is available for Business Class, I'll try to snag that! lol Thanks for your help!@@NonstopDan
I take long haul international flights with Emirates, and I fly economy, but the planes and crew are so amazing, and others really can’t beat their entertainment they have either!
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Thanks NonStopDan😊
Emirates has a special place in my heart. I remember flying long haul routes as a kid from Australia to the UK and getting my polaroid and stuffed toy, I think it was also the first time I had a 7up.
Hey NonstopDan, I was wondering if you could do a review on the emirates 777-200lr (lr standing for long range) business class?
Unlike the 777-300er(er standing for extended range) the 777-200lr does not have a middle seat and in general, the experience is better. You can find the 777-200lr on longer routes (12hrs+?). There aren’t many reviews of this, so it would be nice to see one. I hope you do this review!
True but it has a horrible economy class.
hey, thanks so much for this video, i'm flying emirates in two weeks, and thanks to you i'll have a charging port! great video
Hi Dan , I am travelling in emirates this year , in june , I was wondering if they too provide free snacks like qatar ? qatar always had soo much loaded in the galley for economy class , I was not very sure about emirates ,
Yes they do! Emirates Is better at catering IMO, so don’t worry! They even have ice creams.
I actually smiled when Sam was shown. How exciting!!
Hi Dan, good morning, what I liked most was at lunch and also at dinner, but it was a surprise for Sam to show up, but there are also some tickets that you can buy a ticket for car above all, but it's the value of the tickets, which aren't cheap, that makes it worth buying.
what happened to your giveaway flight?
Great review Dan! I can't wait to fly with their A380 in April for the first time. I have flown on their B777 before and would be curious to compare both.
How would you compare Singapore Airlines and Emirates A380 economy class?
Emirates A380 Is better than any A380 and this is because they had been receiving A380s until the very end, which means they have many new ones still with flashy cabins.
I love nonstop dan he makes aviation and more!
Hi Dan! U good? Do you mind me asking if you’re also going to do this review for Etihad? I forgot if you sad it or not 😅. It would be nice to see Saudia and Turkish as well. Hope you consider my suggestions! Have a good one!
Is there a difference between sitting upstairs and downstairs ?
Excellent vlog. I am planning to visit Dubai in June from London, UK would you recommend Emirates (A380 going and return 777) economy or Qatar (787-8 both direction) economy. Flight fare is about the same only $50 more by Qatar compare to Emirates air. Thanks. I never used both Airlines yet.
With all of the experience Dan has accumulated in all these years traveling, I think a database for each airline for their seats and a calculation of miles made by Dan would be one of the best that anyone can possibily create.
🙏
This video is just what I needed! I’m flying Emirates for the first time from Manila to New York in October. I will be riding both types of planes! 😊
Both good planes for economy. Don’t waste your money on emirates business class on the 777.
@@MH-hr9wp sometimes you have no choice. You're one flight might be on an a380 and then the connecting flight might be a 777 or vice versa
Thanks for doing some economy class reviews Dan. Much appreciated. Btw, I've yet to enjoy any seat on any Boeing! And yes, wherever possible, I will opt for the A380, even if it means later departure with a much longer lay over! The A380... it's worth it!
These were two planes that actually flew over my house!
That's quite amazing.
Except when you’re trying to sleep then 10 A380’s fly over you every hour.@@yashdesai0654
Y not showing result of Ek9?
Your opinion if their Skywards+ is worth it for Dubai based travellers?
Would like to know this as well. To me it looks like the lowest tier of skywards+ is 100% not worth it but the other two maybe?
Totally agree did Bhx to Dxb and on to Hanoi. So A380 was on economy and very comfortable, then onward in 777. Omg I felt mu hip where being crushed compared to A380 but service was excellent as ever with Emirates. Great video
Window seat in economy on the A380 is amazing
The space between the fuselage and the seat gives a lot more comfort. I flew the Qatar A350 (same route, 15hr+ flight) and the A380 is so much more comfortable
Thanks for the review. Flying to Dubai from Houston on an A380 this weekend.
Have fun!!
last year i flew a 777-300er out of newcastle. on the flight there we had the oldest cabin they use, and tbh, it wasnt very comfortable. on the flight back we had a bit of a newer cabin but still wasn't the best. in all honesty, if a not as good ife system and no wifi isnt a deal breaker, and they fly to where you're going, the tui 787s are a more comfortable aircraft, and the crew seems a lot better too
What is the room with the sleeping person icon in the back?
Having flown both the A380 and 77W back in January, when full to the brim, I can safely say that the legroom felt similar in my experience. I felt much more comfortable on the A380 thanks to a wider seat. But on both flights, I got a flashy new cabin on the 77W compared to a dated cabin on the A380, so I was torn between the two. BTW, I actually flew on A6-EEM from Toronto to Dubai back in May 2019.
I’ve also flown on A6-EEM lol! Back In 2015 when it was new!
Anyways, the newer A380 are out of this world awesome!
What about the seat width? It must be much wider on the A380.
SAM! Awesome!
Can't wait to see Ana on this format
Any tips to make leg rest more comfortable? I tend to have swollen feet on long haul flights, and I guess those inflatable let rests are not allowed. Will be traveling next month on 777 with a very active toddler and I'm beyond nervous!
If you are flying with a toddler you might be able to request seats at the bulkhead. These tend to have more legroom to accomodate the bassinet.
Built a380 wings for 20 years, and in a couple of weeks, I’m flying one one to Dubai! Finally 😅
Which airline is best for the a380?
Emirates
Flew Emirates a few times and on a lot of occassions the staff were a tad grumpy. There was an occassional nice member of staff but on the whole everything seemed too much trouble for both cabin and ground staff. Economy in 777 is a horrible experience when it is full. I fell quite ill on one flight to Shanghai, due to being dehydrated (Dubai is extremely hot during the summer), and the staff treated me as a complete inconvenience, which made me feel even worse.
At the last second I thought "IT CAN'T BE SAM" WELL WHADDYA KNOW LMAOOOOOOOO
8:16 - Mycket trevligt, du träffade en världskänd bloggare! 😍
Rad 68 med det stora benutrymmet special stolar du får betala extra för?
Yes.
Hi Dan! Love your reviews! Great job!
I have a question though - what's the meaning of "Personal items on board"?
15 years after the first A380s I'm still so excited to see them BUT I'm not rushing to fly them as often as I used to ad I just find boarding and deboarding to be too long and cumbersome. I feel like there was a stretch where I was always taking A380 flights on Emirates, Qatar, or Etihad, and boarding was just incredibly frustrating. Take that away,'the experience is still incredible. And those engines ❤
Emirates are great (I live in Dubai), you missed a trick from Muscat though, next time fly to Khasab, the best landing and take off.
the best seat for me is only the window seat in any row in ALL aircraft
Whenever you can, take the A380 over every other plane.
Whenever you can, don't take a 777!
How does Emirates economy compare to JAL economy?
subscribed
Ps one further comment. If focusing on Economy, understanding best transfer airports if you don’t have lounge access would be good. On other videos I have been put off Doha due to manner in which transfers are managed (eg long wait at gates). So irrespective of plane product I would be put off and would choose say Dubai or Singapore….having been through most major European hubs instinct would be to try less popular hubs if prices were still good
Just wish you'd done some longer hauls on these economy reviews but having listened to your podcast, we know that is something Dan doesn't do in economy 🤣
😅🤣
Dan please do a video on Delta
Wow I'd love to take such a short flight on such a large plane with such large screens and with such a large meal!!
@Nonstop Dan, How many times you will kep reviewing Lufthansa? EMirates and Qatar? Why do you never review lines in Asian market? Japan? and India which is 4th largest aviation market?
I flew Emirates 777 economy for 16 hours round trip recently. The product was great and I had a great flight.
However, I had my expectation too high on the cabin service since many are hyping it.
I still think SQ has the best cabin crew, being very attentive and efficient. My experience with Emirates cabin service can be more of a hit and miss. I think their cabin crew service, while very good, is more in-line with airlines like China Airlines, Cathay, and Garuda.
Personally, I also wish Emirates gives extra desserts like few airlines do.
This video captures the A380 perfectly. A bit of a Concorde moment where economics outweigh customer desires. Like Concorde, it will truly be a sad day when the A380 is retired and we are stuck in single deck twin engines.
Incogni? OK, I’ve signed up for other sponsored items, but I raced to get this. $5/mo? It’s a no brainer.
The 2 seats in the middle of the 4 were very uncomfortable. Hubby couldn't move arms to eat and he's slim and we felt so squashed up. The row of 3 are better
@Dan: how does the aviation fuel get to the Maldives? I guess they don't have a factory there 🤔
Would you recommend last row seats for elderly people on B777-300?
Wider aisle, direct aisle access if you’re two people, but a looong walk all the way to the back of the plane. I’d say it’s worth it.
How about the width of the seat? Is it noticeably better on A380? I’m always rubbing shoulders in B777 in 3-4-3 😢
According to seat guru, it's 18" on the A380 and 17" on the 777. That one inch makes all the difference in the world.
@@greensoba Yes, in economy every inch counts.
It is much wider. And it doesn’t just feel wider, it looks wider too.
In this video Dan reviewed both planes with the same seat and screen, at 7:45 look at how that screen barely fits on the B777 seats, the corners are tight, and then look at the A380’s 16:36 seats with the same screens, see how much wider those corners of the seats are.
one thing about Emirates economy class though: the service, ife and seats are NOT consistent. i fly a lot from east asia and the service is horrid, the crew seems like they just dont want to be there (it was often on A380's). however, on flights from dubai to Europe, the service is pretty good most of the time, except for the time when i flew in 2018 but 1 bad trip out of 12 is reasonable. the ife screen can range from the new white boarded screen to the oldest screen with 3 buttons (if u are flying the 777-200LR you might get the og screen with the 2 sound buttons). i know this is very opinionated but Emirates has terrible flight meals
I've also noticed that flights to/from Europe get the best planes & service. From/To Dubai from Asia/Africa - you get the old shit.
@@rnburley true, from dubai to asia half the time i was on the blue label a380's and brown label 777-300's.
on flights to Europe, i only see green and yellow labels a380 and b777-300.
what color code is used for flight from dubai to africa
that is consistent on all airlines. they send poor aircrafts and crews to asian and african routes while the good ones all go to west and southeast asia
@@Cheng-nm4ccWhat are those color labels?!
@@aamm2081 if you look at the safety card on your emirates flight, you can see a strip that can either be red/green/blue/yellow/brown or maybe there's some other colors I don't know about
You went to my dream vacation spot and only caught another plane😢😢😢 always go for Airbus instead of Boeing to be safe
Today I had a flight on Alliance Airlines a small regional airline in Australia on a Fokker 100 aircraft. I was shocked at the legroom. I am 5 foot 6 and when i was sitting down in my seat I had more room that my whole upper leg length. I was impressed with it. All the Australian airlines seem to do well in that. You got to try an Australian airline other than quantas.
Even Sam also boarding Emirates with Economy flights, and then both legends meets together is a most memorable moment ever.
Imagine if Nonstop Dan, Sam Chui and Swiss001 crossover together, it would be a aviation knowledge with a little bit humor feels environment
Keep it up legend 💪💪💪❤❤❤
Really enjoy what you're putting out there!!.
