Emirates FIRST CLASS & Dubai First Class Lounge

- The Emirates Game Changer First Class product is only available on 9 of their 777-300ER aircraft. I managed to book a ticket from Dubai (DXB) to London Stansted (STN) 3 days before as the award seat got released for 85,000 Skywards miles.
I made my way to Dubai International Airport (DXB) a few hours before my flight to check out the Emirates First Class Lounge in Concourse A. This is the largest First Class lounge in the world and is ridiculously large. I show everything the lounge has to offer before making my way to Concourse B for my flight.
Only 9 of the 123 777-300ER aircraft that Emirates operate have the Game Change First class seat and Stansted was one of the routes to offer this.
I enjoy the Dom Perignon champagne along with the caviar and the rest of the meal service. I then do an extensive tour of the seat and all of its features before checking out the First Class toilets. I closed the floor to ceiling suite door and slept for a few hours in the bed. Before landing, I check out the contents of the Bvlgari amenity kit.
This is one of the best First Class products in the sky in my opinion. Let me know what you think in the comments.

5 star video - superb quality and commentary, thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
An excellent review, and an experience i need to add to my list. Thanks
Thank you! If you want to fly on this particular seat you'll have to do a bit of research beforehand on which routes it is currently flying. The gamechanger first class seat is only available on 9 of their 777-300ERs!
Absolutely spectacular from start to finish. What a product to be so lucky to enjoy. The flawless service, presentation and above all this unique Suite, looked next level. One day would love to try and Stansted is local to me! Never say never.....! Thanks so much for sharing!🥂
Thanks for watching and couldn't agree more, this was a really special flight. One word of advice, the ground experience at Stansted is not geared for first class - there is no dedicated lounge, you would share the Escape lounge with everyone else. Best to fly from Dubai or connect somewhere so you get to experience to first class lounge in DXB.
Amazing review brotha! So detailed 😰 Looks incredible 👌
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching 🙏
Wow man, I love your videos
Cheers bro 🙏
Great video 👍 The best one was the sleeping review with LED lights looks really peaceful 😌✨
Thanks! The customisable lighting is such a nice touch, these small things all add up to make for a really polished product
Excellent video!!!!
Thank you!
Good job once again!
Cheers!
Wonderful flight review, beautiful explained the features and superb coverage of the flight features and lounge 👍
Thanks! It's one of the best seats in the sky I think, glad you enjoyed 🙌
Thank you. I love the video.
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it!
That was an awesome video. Thank you very much, and bro you are stunningly handsome
Cheers - glad you enjoyed the video! More on the way 🫡
Thx for the review. I would fly to Dubai just to experience Emirates first class suites. Put that on my Bucket List.
That's what I did when I realised my points were expiring! It's a lot better to fly from Dubai to experience the First class lounge. I hope you get to fly that soon 🙏
Excellent video 👍🏽
Thank you 🙏
Great video🙌🙌
Thank you!
Really good vlog keep it up!
Thank you! Already working on the next one
This is amazing, keep up the sick content
Cheers - keep up the watching!
Great review mate
Cheers! More on the way soon 🫡
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Great report - thank you! Good to see Emirates' First Class offering evolving in the right direction (avoiding cutbacks like some other airlines (Etihad, Qatar). It would be good to have seen the entire menu and understand whether the service was anything other than faultless.
The soft service would be the same across the fleet but bear in mind this seat only exists on 9 of their aircraft. I'll do a review on their A380 at some point to show a more typical first class experience.
I like your in depth review, +1 sub :)
Thanks for subscribing - more on the way!
You are so great ,
when you come to Thailand 😍😍
Emirates is always fantastic 😍
You know it 🙌
gorgeous flight experience all to have to land in stansted haha
Tell me about it! At least it's not as bad as departing from Stansted when flying this in First - you end up in the Escape lounge!
What an awesome review!! Loving your channel. What kind f small camera were you using to record the details of your first class cabin?
Thanks for watching! For this video I was using the DJI Pocket 2
Looked incredible. I watch so many videos of emirates business and first class and enjoy each one just as much as the last. Also first video of yours i've seen. Great stuff.
Appreciate it man! It's such a great experience - and more vids on the way!
This is class Yann!
Cheers man! Waiting on your next video too
Thanks for sharing this great review. Super envious you got to fly on EK First class! Absolutlely love the various lighting configurations available when you are ready to sleep. Looking forward to more reviews from you - your new subscriber from Malaysia here🙂
Emirates First is a dream, glad you enjoyed the video! I was in Malaysia recently, didn't get a chance to fly Malaysia Airlines but I definitely want to check it out, I'll make a video next time I go!
Another terrific video. For Emirates premium I've only been in business on A380 and 777-300ER, A380 was brilliant, didn't care much for the 777-300ER. This First class seat is in a league of its own; the attention to detail is incredible plus the fun features. Re lounges, again only done the business lounge and I agree, both lounges are a bit soulless but I guess being based at DXB with so many flights, Emirates need really huge lounges so at least everyone can find somewhere to sit.
Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed! I haven't flown Emirates business yet but from what I can tell the A380 seat is great but the 777 seat in the 2-3-2 config is so far behind modern standards, I'd hate to get stuck in one of those middle seats.
This was amazing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥🔥.. thank you for sharing the experience 🥂
Thanks for watching 🍾
I am gonna fly First from DXB to Europe soon. Would you recommend me to do the same as you did, and go to the First Class lounge in Concourse A, spend my time there and head over to the B gates for boarding? On the internet I have mostly read that the First Class lounge in Concourse A supposedly is the nicest of the three of them (I watched videos of the one in Concourse C and do not find it appealing at all).
Took that same seat from Dubai to Tokyo and about to take another 7 emirates first class trip. It is nice. Love the goodies. You lucky to have the game changer suites as since emirates have over 300+ aircraft, ONLY 9 of them are game changer, so, it's question of luck I guess :) only on the 777-300ER.. but need to check configuration to ensure that's the proper suite. I prefer that one over the classic one for the zero gravity seat and full privacy.
It really is a great seat if you're flying solo, the fit and finish is so luxurious. I loved the complete privacy. I spent a while tracking down the routes this particular seat was flying on to make sure I got it (because trust me, I would much rather land at LHR than STN haha)! But the regular Emirates first class seat is still a top-tier product, and Emirates soft product is one of the best out there regardless of what aircraft you get.
Great review. What would you recommend for couples traveling to enjoy the same features together?
The seat in this video (in a 1-1-1 config) is only available on 9 planes in their entire fleet so more than likely you would fly in their regular first class seat (in a 1-2-1 config) which has the couple seats in the middle.
Wow oman air 😍 next
I'd love to fly Oman Air, will definitely make a video whenever I do!
Looks like an amazing experience, makes my 1st class flight with Qatar look decidedly average lol. great video
It's a shame Qatar are phasing out their first class though - hopefully I get to fly it before they retire their A380s 🙏
@@FlyManYann I'd definitely say it's worth it if you can. their onboard bar on the A380 is pretty cool too
Random question but one which would help me out as I plan my first videos - do you record your voiceovers at home speaking into the camera on your mic? Is that the easiest way to record clean audio and then upload it to whatever video editor you use?
Yep exactly that - my camera has a wireless mic which I speak into, easiest way to get decent audio for now. I used to just record using my phone voice notes. I'll get a proper microphone eventually!
Another great review. Tbh, it would take me the whole flight just to work out the different controls! Any suite that has a Yann-sized cubby for your feet is a good one.😁 Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your next flight.
Thanks! There are so many controls there's no way you'd use them all on a normal flight - the options are there though 👌

Incredible luxury!
They’ve forgotten nothing.
How long is the flight from dc to Dubai?
It's amazing - they've even got things you wouldn't think of! The flight from IAD to DXB is 13 hours.
No, I’m not envy, I’m not envy at all 😭😭😭😭
Absolutely insane. Thanks for the overview. Next year I am going to fly first class for the first time. I can not wait.
Which airline?
@@nenblom Emirates 👍🏼
Enjoy it!!
Cheaper and more luxurious to stay at home 😊
You bet ❤
This suite is definitely more luxurious than my apartment! Agree with you on the price though! 😅
CLASSY
Doesn't get much better - I love the way they styled the suite
I agree the 380 washrooms are to be expected and far superior.. shocked they would do anything less on this plane... but I would do with smaller bathroom to have the FULL floor to ceiling privacy for the suite and the serving window...
Hopefully they start refurbishing the A380s with this seat so we can have the shower and this seat!
@@FlyManYann Absollutely! I agree, that would be ideal ... because they also seem to try to "keep it a secret" which planes or flights are game changer which I don't get ? ? let passengers book what they want ? haha So that being said........What was your Flight number for this one??
you get access to the first class lounge on an points upgrade ticket or did you have to pay separate?
I booked straight into First class with points which comes with lounge access but not chauffeur. I believe if you upgrade from business to first with points you should get lounge access too.
Great video, thank you. I feel sorry for the customers doing the reverse journey. The customer experience at Stansted isn't quite the same!!
Couldn't agree more - you're stuck in the Escape lounge departing from STN, not very first class!
This is insane
One of the best 🤯
Wow❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the best 🙌
My dream is travel in first class one day 🍀
Hello, do you know if emirates A380 has a new fully enclosed First Class Suites? Thanks.
The A380 doesn't have this new fully enclosed suite - it is only available on 9 of their 777 aircraft
It seems there are two design of first class in emirates A380.
The seat in this video is only available on 9 of their 777 planes. The rest of the fleet, including the A380, has the regular first class seat.
Makes Qantas look like a Ryanair experience
What a fantastic job of editing. Maybe one day you'll invite me along to be your film guy. Haha.
Thank you! Haha that would be great - only issue is paying for the second first class ticket 😅
@@FlyManYann 🤔😅😂 Well maybe we can work something out with that. Maybe you have a way for me to pay a small rate to expense for my business. Hmm
I got an upgrade for £500 during covid, Dubai to Bangkok. I drank 2 bottles of that Dom Perion, i was absolutely smashed 😂
Drank that £500 right back, love to hear it 🙌
gostei
What amenity kit do they give to female passengers?
The female amenity kit is mostly the same but with a small Bulgari mirror, face cream, body cream and a different scented Bulgari perfume and deodorant. The mens shaving kit is not included of course!
Can v keep the nightsuites and bag with guddies :P? Soon going to fly
Yep you can keep the pyjamas and the amenity kit!
How much did you pay for this flight ??
Just curious….
85k Skywards miles and 1,600 AED in taxes
Please tell us you had a cigar in one of those lounges - just for the hell of it 😅
Not this time but the previous time I visited this lounge I wanted to buy a cigar for the sake of it but the price was ridiculous. I can't remember exactly now but I think I had to buy a pack of 3 minimum and it was in the hundreds of dollars so I skipped it. It may have changed since and you can probably bring your own.
@@FlyManYann sounds steep. Having a cigar in an airport lounge is definitely a life goal. Any cigar you’d recommend? 😀
American airports have a long way to go.
And by the end of the next year, there won't even be a US airline that offers proper international first class!
can't lie - your videos are class and am proper enjoying them
also can't lie - you're fit af
oops
i want to take Emirates FIRST CLASS to dubai
You'll miss out on the first class lounge... But Emirates do have a pretty extensive lounge network around the world!
@@FlyManYannthank you to explain it to me
have a nice day
Would be great to get a shot of the smoking area
Gotta switch to cigars and hit the cigar lounge!
Do they actually have first class cabins for couples?
Yes! The seat in this video is only available on 9 of their planes. The rest of their fleet has the standard First class seats in a 1-2-1 config with seats for couples in the middle.
Is it worth the money they charge
Depends on your budget! The cash cost of this flight would be around £6k which is a LOT of money in my opinion but some people would have no issue paying that. I paid 85k Skywards miles for this flight which is a lot more palatable. This was definitely the most impressive flight I've been on in terms of the hard product so was more than worth the points.
Ths like it another ❤❤❤❤😂
🙏🙏🙏
I thought the lounge in concourse A was soulless. B is much nicer.
Yeah I can definitely see that, it's almost too big. Even though B is still fairly large it feels a lot more intimate. I assume the lounge at C is similar.
I usually go for A380s. I just need the shower experience. Plus you walk off the plane feeling like a million bucks. No comparison.
The shower in the sky is like nothing else - I couldn't stop laughing when the water started running at how surreal the whole thing was. Plus they're refurbing the seats on the A380s to match the design language in this new suite.
@@FlyManYann are they now? The new changes should be interesting to see on my travels next year!
@@FlyManYann haha ya the shower experience is surreal.
@TheTraffic247 they've started... I imagine it will take a few years to refurb the entire fleet!
Jitendrakumar🇮🇳 indian💞
You look so young. How can you afford first class?
Paid with points
Yep exactly like Steven said - paid with 85k Skywards miles
Ah, to be young and wealthy.
I wish! Booked this with 85k Skywards miles ✈️
Lucky are u rich what's yiur secret
The prawns and rice is more quantity than a real first class premium meal. Too simple.
No breakfast?
Had breakfast in the lounge, I usually try to avoid breakfast in the sky
You are very cute
I want to be rich.
Sorry again - naturally the lounge and shower is clean… there are no customers….!!!
Must be fantastic - and a little not fun…. where do you meet your travelling “friends” / companies - and with completely clean shoes…
Wow….
Emirates has the largest first class route network in the world so plenty of people go through this lounge - it's just so big you don't really notice it! I had a great chat with the person sitting next to me on this flight but this obviously depends on the flight and person!
people pay too much for a super small room with a super little screen and 1 small bed… you can get a presidential suite for that money in a hotel…
But the presidential suite doesn't fly!
@@FlyManYann so you tell me that you’re okay to pay for around 8 hours of flight an amount of $10.000… well okay
No way! I only paid 85k Skywards miles for this plus 1600 AED in taxes - not a bad deal! Emirates has the largest first class network in the world and clearly people keep paying these prices for it!
@@FlyManYann I wanted to tell you that emirates is using you for advertisement… they don’t pay you.. you pay with miles also money and fly on the plane which makes a flight for you but 2 points in 1 go for emirates…
True!
Ever had a real job?
Yes and I still do!
Lol. Some cheap shaving cream and deodorant...
It’s a bit crap how emirates only offers a chauffeur for cash tickets!
I know right... They cut it in 2019 at some point
@@FlyManYann I wonder if they’re bring it back, I don’t see any other airline treating cash and point tickets differently
Great video!
Thanks!
