- I flew Emirates A380 economy class from Dubai to Zurich. In the video, I gave 8 good tips on how to survive or how to enjoy economy class flying. I am sure you will benefit from some of the tip I gave!
The video also shows you the children's kit and meal on Emirates. Also Ramadan Iftar boxes are shown in the video. Enjoy the magnificent forward wing view with engine on the A380!
--------
Join me for a relaxed and fun flight from Dubai to Zurich with Emirates. I travel aboard the Airbus A380 aeroplane in Emirates economy class and I reveal eight tips and tricks on how you can enjoy and get the most out of your economy class flight. We can’t all experience the luxury of flying first class but this video aims to show that it certainly isn’t impossible to have a very enjoyable, relaxing and comfortable flight in economy class with just a little prior planning, research and thought.
In this video, I also specifically examine some of the comforts offered by the Emirates airline within their economy class to help their customers. One thing we focus on is Emirates’ provision for children and we examine the complimentary items including blankets, bibs, baby wipes and colouring in books which are given out to families with young children.
Tip #1 - Even if you’re flying in economy class, try and access a credit card lounge before the flight to make yourself more comfortable and prepared for boarding. You’re more likely to start the flight in a better mood and in a more positive state of mind, especially if you’ve had to wait at the airport for a while, if you’ve had something to eat, had a comfortable seat to sit on and been in relaxed and more quiet surroundings. If you are not eligible to enter one of these lounges, consider paying for entry; it is likely to be well worth your investment as one of the biggest reasons why people do not enjoy their flight in economy class is because they were not in the right frame of mind to begin with.
Tip #2 - Use a website such as expertflyer.com to see where clusters of empty seats are on the flight that you wish to take. By using this website, you may be able to purchase seats from the airline’s website which are in a quieter spot, with less people surrounding you. expertflyer.com can show real time seat maps for your flight up to one hour before the departure of the flight, letting you make an informed decision as to the best seat location for you in economy class.
Tip #3 - Use a website such as seatguru.com to get to know the layout of the economy class on your flight better so that you can select more advantageous economy seats with views over the engines, or, perhaps most importantly, with more leg room. There’s almost always a few economy seats with much, much more leg room than others because of the free space that has to be left in front of the aircraft’s mid-placed emergency exit.
Furthermore, after coming on board, if there’s a very favourable seat which is vacant and unsold, grab it before anybody else does!
Tip #4 - If you can, travel in the low season when fares are lower and when planes are less crowded. Low season months are February, May and November.
During my flight in Emirates economy class, I was able to move around to a large number of different seats as, travelling in May, it was low season. I was also able to lie down over a complete row of four economy seats and get a quality rest as if I was in business class, but without business class prices! If you can, it certainly pays dividends to travel in economy class when it’s less busy in the low season.
Tip #5 - Always bring a bottle of water with you to stay hydrated and avoid excessive alcohol consumption which can dehydrate you. Additionally, always bring an eye-shade with you so that you can get quality rest whenever you need it; these are provided on some longer haul flights but it’s always best to have your own, just in case.
Tip #6 - Wear something loose and comfy to promote good well being and also good blood circulation whilst you’re up in the air. This is especially important when the flight is crowded and/or there isn’t a lot of leg room and movement is restricted. This follows on to…
Tip #7 - Wherever possible, stretch your limbs and walk around the cabin - it doesn’t just help keep your blood circulating in what can be a cramped economy class but it keeps your mood happy too. Feeling confined and restricted in economy class is a big source of uncomfortable economy class flights.
Tip #8 - Stay smiling and stay positive whenever travelling in economy class. Don’t forget to bring your headphones with you to listen to some of your favourite tunes whilst you’re in the sky!
I really want to hear your opinion - do you have any thoughts about what makes for a good trip in economy class? Is there anything that you swear by? Leave your comments down below and, as always, thanks for watching!
For you, flying economy is weird..
For me and millions others its the normal one.....business is just a dream xD....and first class..
Whats that ? Lol
Dipro Prattoy That’s what I wanted to post in comments...
I know, right? I've only ever flown economy. It's not comfortable, but the fact that we can even afford to travel at all means we are better off than most people in the world. This fall, I'll be flying business class for the first (and probably only) time in my life. I planned and saved for it, and can't wait to see what it's like!
Luka T I fly business all the time
@@morganfreeman4204 weird flex but ok
Dipro Prattoy 🤣🤣🤣
Flying is a privilege. I feel so blessed to each time I fly, and even more grateful the 2 times I've flown business class.
Thank you for saying that. Sam is completely out of touch with reality.
I feel blessed when we land!
Alicia Stadler exactly ! Most people on Earth can’t afford a plane trip, I’m so grateful for the trips I’ve made in my life...flying is definitely a privilege.
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143 Maybe there is a bit of sarcasm in his presentation--that is, he actually believes it is quite comfortable but he lets you draw that conclusion.
Alicia Stadler same
I once got the amazing opportunity to fly as an unaccompanied minor on Emirates flying in between Ireland and South Africa and emirates staff were kinda enough to let me move to first class on the flight! When I borded the flight I was economy class but soon after the staff came to me and asked me if I wanted a “cool seat” 14 year old me, with no hesitation said sure and they moved me to 1st class for the rest of the flight to dubai where I was taken to the kids lounge and had an amazing time there, 4 hours after my lay-over I got on another flight to South Africa (O.R Thambo) and once again I got on the flight and was asked if I wanted a better seat and I said “I don’t mind” the flight attendant smiled and took me to first class! This was amazing and Emirates is my favourite airline!! I know many other airlines probably would do the same but because this was my first time flying alone and they treated me so nicely and offered me nothing but the best was an absolute blast and I had so much fun on board!
As I'm soon doing a solo UK/Brisbane trip with them, could you give me any tips on how to behave like a 14 year old please........🤣
I might going from athens to new york next year when im 14 as an UM in economy and im gonna be so happy if this happens
Emirates first class is like a dream
Thats awesome❤
Im 15... Will it still work?
Another tip: Don't be afraid to order another meal.
Airlines have so much leftovers they have to throw them out and they're more than happy to give you more.
literally just found the last couple of years, often tell you to grab another wee bottle of wine too.
Do they give it for free or do you purchase it?

Flying economy on Emirates is like a luxury for me and many others.
It really is cause I've been. It is worth every penny.
Excaltly 🥲
Thats bc he only travels luxury. Also before he travels the crews already know he is coming and they put up a red carpet. I like josh cahils reviews. Much more honest and real.
Yes
@@picklepoppers8223 me too
I love what his reaction to economy class was, it's hilarious watching spoiled people try to deal with what normal people do everyday
Hi
Oh come on emirates economy is also luxurious fly in a low end flight with your legs squeezed and hear the others snoring with minus 100 entertainment
No I think this video was targeted at families and or normal people too. It’s a luxury to fly don’t get me wrong but in packed flights it can be very tight. But then again, that is coming from a claustrophobic person..
ye lol
@@ok-hx6yi best thing i find is to book a seat right at the back...close to restroom and space to stretch...
I had the best experience with flying emirates. In fact it was my first time flying ever. I had a huge huge fear of flying. I always told all my friend and family that I would never ever fly, I would rather die. But then I met someone from Indonesia and decided to face my fears (granted I did research how to get there by train, cruise ship, even freighter ships. But that was extremely costly)... For the flight I received xanax from my doctor so I would stay calm. At Brussels airport, I also asked for special assistance (I have a form of ASD, so I can get that) to guide me to the gate and let the crew know my fears and that it was my first time flying. I got to board the airplane first, and a flight attendant came to let me know what will happen (although I knew exactly what would happen and when since I am ironically extremely fascinated by airplanes). It is more the not having any control at all when flying that gives me fear. Thankfully the medication sedated me a lot so my fears mellowed away significantly. When we where in the air one of the flight attendant came to me to have a chat and check if I was doing okay. She then invited me to come to the galley in the back. There I had a chat with all the other flight attendants, they showed me where everything was and how they did their job. Afterwards, they took a Polaroid picture of me with the whole crew, signed by the whole crew. A huge thanks to the entire crew for putting me so at ease on that flight. It was highly appreciated, it helped more than you could ever imagine. Thank you Pasia, Mariana, Hassan, Liane and Mouhamed from flight Ek184 8 October 2019 BRU - DXB.
"Surviving" in Emirates' economy class is easy. Teach us how to survive in Ryan or Wizz Air's.
wizz is really nasty
Kaan Özbilen hey kaan ahah
Lol
Emirates Economy is way way better than most Economy classes, maybe it is even the best Economy class. Try to compare with Lufthansa and you will never book again Lufthansa!
Sure Game on! Always wanted to do a vlog on Ryanair! Let's do one soon!
Flying Emirates is amazing whatever class it is. Stop nagging, some people dont have the chance to travel abroad. So lets be grateful and appreciate pleasures of life.
No.
@@cheng7695 Yes
No it’s not
Emirates a380 economy class seats are the most widest economy seats i have ever laid my butt on
Spot on, Sabrina 👍🏼
Hey Sam,
try Economy on an intercity flight in Germany with Lufthansa. That's something you need to survive.
ye thats facts
Still a 100x times more comfy then DB
Spirit Airlines. “Ha, and they think Lufthansa’s bad”
gahgaga lufthansa muss sein
I’ve flown business class 15 times, and economy 10. It’s not surviving, it’s frankly amazing and I feel grateful whenever I fly, if it is on flair or emirates, I’m always completely grateful to be at 37,000 feet in the air
how do you afford buissnes class
Economy on Emirates A380 is not a surviving
It's a pleasure.
True. It's also only a 6 hour flight, one of the shorter routes that Emirates offer
especially when its empty.

Flying Economy with Emirates was my best flying experience. During 12hr flight my nose started to bleed, at least 3 stewardesses took care of me like I was the most important passenger at the time. I like your channel, but don't let it seem that there is anything wrong with economy
I flew this from Milan to JFK. I was stuck in the very last row with my family because air travel is a mess this summer. The flight attendant actually went around to take pictures of families! We got a Polaroid in a little frame. I haven't really traveled much but this airline really made a great impression!

Most of us only fly in economic lol
Karma read again what I wrote.
@Karma Nobody cares
it's a perfectly fine class. It's all based on airlines. If you fly any 5 star, economy is like America's business class.
I fly business class sorry if it hurt you reply by (IHM) and I will delete it
*economy
We travelled with Emirates in Economy and had NO complaints. The crew were pleasant, the food delicious and we had enough space to be able to travel comfortably. The bathrooms were always clean too. I would use them in a heartbeat if we travel again.
I've had some of the best flying experiences on Emirates economy. I particularly like how they genuinely cater for passengers different culinary requirements. I would dread the thought of flying from Australia economy, on any other carrier. Emirates set the bar high so you always know what to expect.
I’ve traveled all cabin classes on Emirates, it’s not survival, it’s a pleasure
Zainab Kashwani how good is economy . /100
Abdy Naveed ♾
@@editz4988 comparing to other airlines' economy I tested 95/100 cause there is always a place for improvement but it is way better than most of them. If I had to choose from multiple airline for the same destination, same flying time, I'd go for Emirates.
@@prignony true bro...absolutely!
Flying in Emirates is absolutely a pleasure....be it in any class!
Zainab Kashwani First and business is a pleasure. Economy isn't a pleasure at all.
so he ended up surviving after being extremely lucky to be able to occupy 4 middle seats. How useful!
Exactly he had it easy.
I think he is making commercial for Emirates airline thats why he got these seats
Is Sam advertising Emirates Business Class by talking low of Economy?
He did plug a website which shows how to find empty seats but ok then
I also think this is pretty useless information if you're flying in a flight that full. Real waste of time watching.
Emirates, economy class feels like first class. even though the seats are smaller than first, the crew takes so much care of you and come to have a chat asking how you’re doing. i remember as a child i would walk around the plane excited to land and the crew would talk to me and my younger brother showing us around the plane and even got some extra snacks (my parents were asked of course). they brought us so many things to entertain us and never got bored. we even got a polaroid picture with the crew which i will never forget. i can’t wait for my upcoming trip back to lebanon in september ❤
Terry, as a retired flight attendant, of 37 years, with an American airline, and flying on so many other airlines for vacation, I truly want to fly, someday, on Emirates, First Class. I know it will never happen but i cannot believe how absolutely incredible their First Class Service
was, It is wonderful to watch these videos. The best ever is Emirates First Class. I,m still stunned. maybe , one day.
I flew Emirates economy class a few years ago and it was AMAZING!!!! It seemed like first class compared to other airlines.

you got any tips for a long haul flight?

@@m3lis54 Enjoy it, and remember you're allowed to walk around the aisles. You can walk very long distances.
clearly you are an economy person...
Are you joking? “Survive” the luxury of flying on emirates which is one of the best airlines in the world? “Survive” flying on an airplane in economy which almost everyone does around the world? I can’t believe that Sam has gotten so used to flying in luxury he forgets that this is how everyone enjoys aviation
i agree, ive never been on emirates, but i have been on turkish. from what ive heard emirates is better. and the turkish one itself was much more expensive then united or something.
Honestly flying economy is flying economy, it’s no more comfortable than other airlines. What Emirates is excellent at is its service which makes you feel a lot more at ease, however the seats, legroom, etc are relatively similar to other international airlines.
I used to love flying economy but when suddenly my dad took me on business class for the first time, I started to enjoy economy just a little less😅
Indeed ' survive' is not appropriate word. Even if the food with simple standard pasta does not seem wonderfull, Emirates, with its planes, inflight entertainment and good service surely remains one of the best airlines of the world
True, Im mad at Sam chui Because he always flies in business and first class.
And says that economy class is bad, nearly everyone goes on economy class.
About to do a long haul in economy from Australia to Belgium - I was feeling rather apprehensive about the long slog ahead, but your video has really cheered me up and I am starting to feel excited now 😊
I had many times three or four seats for myself in the Emirates A380 Economy Class and I always enjoyed it. They also gave me a couple of times free upgrades to business class due to over booked flights. I ❤ Emirates 🇦🇪
‘How to survive’
It’s sitting in a seat for a few hours not the zombie apocalypse.
Try 21hrs in the back of an EK A380 in the space of a day going from Australia to the UK and then get back to me ;)
I did it with twin 9 months old from San Francisco to Dubai. It was the best flight ever!!! Nothing to survive I will fly Emirates any day.
@@nankervisj congratulations you also managed to sit in a seat for a set number of hours *slow clap*

When the camera is turned off, he made his way back to his business/first class seat. We never know :p
Hahahha correct!

LOL Or you should think when the camera got turned off doing a First Class vlog, I go back to economy!!! :P
@@SamChui Exactly!
Sam Chui how often do you fly economy?
I love flying with Emirates, went on their flights from Indonesia to some cities in Europe. The crews were okay (some were nice and warm, some not so much), food were pretty good, and the flights were smooth. I really appreciate the goodie bags for kids, my young son really loves them.

I had a great flight to London on Singapore Airlines one time on the A380. The economy section at the back was not full, and practically anybody could have four seats to lie on. It was fantastic. Haven't flown with Emirates yet, but I am planning on flying to Venice with them next year.
I will be flying on emirates economy a380 from manchester this in a few months. luckily i booked the same seat as of yours seat 50k because i wanted the view of engines from there!! Im glad these tips will be useful for me when flying on a longhaul flight.

India.. everything is screwed up. Falling further behind the rest of the world as time goes by. People haven’t seen an English toilet before. Makes for fun scenes in the toilet.
Sam is 100% right. My long haul tips follow, I am not a frequent flyer btw. 1) Fly on an A380 for long haul. 2.) Pay extra for an aisle seat 3.) Avoid proximity to baby bassinet areas 4.) Select your seat very early, you might get lucky & not have anyone sitting in the middle seat. 5.) Bring an extra jersey in case it gets cold 6.) Choose a seat close but not too close to the toilets 7.) Try to get plenty of sleep before your flight. 8.) Bring your own headphones, they will be much better than what the airline provides. 9.) Don't book tight connecting flights or you will spend half the journey stressing out! 10.) Have some games, music, etc on a phone or tablet in case the IFE does not work. Maybe a book as well.
another tip. Go trawled a closer seat to the front of the part of the cabin. When I was flying on business class on the lufthansa 747-8, they ran out of a meal i wanted because i was in the back.

I think a lot of y’all had misinterpreted what sam actually meant. I am sure Sam didn’t mean to offend anyone, he regularly doesn’t fly economy and just emphasized that he’s actually flying economy for once and not premium cabins. I am also sure his point of saying “how to SURVIVE economy” was to say that there is many joys of emirates economy and how to make economy more of a luxury for people as it already may be. I believe his main goal was to give tips on just how to make economy really enjoyable, He could’ve worded it a little better to not make it sound like he was saying economy in emirates is a “Difficult”way to travel but i am sure he didn’t mean to offend anyone.
I have never been to business class but everytime I go with economy with any airline, Im always so excited and happy :)
My best tip about flying in economy is, be lovely and polite to the crew! It's a really tough job, and they do enjoy being appreciated. In return they will make sure you're well looked after. I've had lovely conversations, and even an additional dessert on occasions from the Emirates crew that made my flying experience just that bit sweeter
Sam: yeah 30 grand totally isn’t a waist of money for 8 hours of time. Well if I’m flying economy I need survival tips

Normally emirates crew doesn't give a shit about economy class.For me SQ stands out for me
i’ve flown economy class from Dubai to Zurich as well and I loved it despite the flight was delayed for about 90 mins because of the sandstorm. I still vividly remember that all I could see was the tip of Burj Khalifa when the plane was in midair as I took a pic of the city. Food was very good and IFE was amazingly good.

How convenient.. I’m also going to travel with Emirates for the first time ever this summer! Gonna be on Economy with both A380 and 777-300ER :) i’ve done some long haul flights before and here are my other suggestions:
- If sleeping is a priority, then try to adjust yourself to the timezone of your destination. You can do it at least 1 day before the flight or on the very day of departure. I personally do it on the day of a red-eye departure. I wake up much earlier than usual so that i can get sleepy quicker and then sleep onboard. This way time goes so quickly ! ;-)
- Bring things on board like downloaded tv series / personal music choice / novels that you may haven’t had the time to read. While the IFE can be good and extensive, sometimes you just want to bring your own favorites.
- Bring. A. Neck. Pillow. Invest in a good one because the difference between a good and terrible neck pillow means a lot when you’re not sleeping on your regular pillow.
- Pamper yourself on board. If you have a cleaning routine, then try to do it on board. It’s good since the air on board dries your skin. So bring some moisturizer and sheet mask on board! It’ll comfort you.
- Bring slippers. I like to assume that i get no amenity kit so i like to bring a cheap hotel slippers and change it on board. Your feet will thank you.
- Go to the alley and try to strike a conversation with the crews. You can also do this to your stranger seatmate assuming that they’re not resting. Who knows how long the conversation can goes and what you’ll know? It’s always fun ;)
- Bring your cable charger for your gadget. A dead phone or laptop is something that you don’t want to live with on a long-haul flight.
- Bring a thin jacket or cardigan no matter what you’re wearing. It can get pretty chill on board.
And that’s all. Can’t wait to try Emirates’ Economy in 2 months!
Thank You. I am copying your suggestions and will place them with my passport. All the best, Luke, an Arizona Cowboy
Thank you Sam for this review. Me and my family watched it. We’re going on an Emirates A380 from Dubai back home, LA. I’m seated in 49K. Thanks again!
Cheers for sharing your experience. Very useful and insightful :)
When competition is taken into account actually nothing like that exists for Emirates. Their service and care is exceptional and the best in the business wether it be Economy or First Class . Hats off to them🎩
Sam I’m really happy you mentioned Ramadan. I’m glad you had a chat with Miso it was really important for your Muslim passengers/watchers to educate with that important question of yours. Much love happy flying (United Employee here)
@Hoodini Sharif The Ramadan food pack looks yummy, and smart idea.
Which one better to congrulate month of Ramadhan....?
-"RAMADAN KAREEM"....like Sam said...or
-"RAMADAN MUBARAK"...
Any opinion fellow muslim from middle east..? Because I'm from Indonesia...and you all know better Arabian language...than me.
@@faisaldalimunthe9756 Both are correct. You can use anyone you'd like. :)
Love the video! I cracked up at the ASMR section. I travel a lot so I’m always looking for great travel tips. Thanks for the website seating info 🙏
Great video Sam Thank you 🙏
Fly Emirates is just a dream airline!!
It's so good it's unreal!
It's also every pilots dream to fly with them
I have flown with Emirates several times when I go to the Philippines. Emirates and Dubai has a lot to offer. Both inflight and on the ground. The EK staff are awesome. What EK offer, is above every other competitors. Thank you Emirates.
On my recent flights, I have seated on 25A/K and 42A.
Yeah I did get the chance to lay down across 4 seats in economy class … loved it!
awesome tips Sam !!!
I flew in Emirates economy few times it and man it's so good.
Yes there's no exertion even after flying
I like how they treat kids . My kid loved that and did not disturb for a 12 hour flight . Thumbs up for EMIRATES
Just flew Emirates economy two weeks ago. It‘s the best economy class I have ever experienced! The seats are really comfortable and the food is pretty fresh and served nicely. You actually get a full 3 course on one plate (starter, main and a small dessert).
Your videos always make me feel like a kid on Christmas morning and Santa did overtime under my Christmas tree!!!!
I good to to fly economy is keep yourself comfortable by wearing loose clothes and drink lots of water...
Happy Ramadan to all and
Great work Sam
❤️❤️❤️
Love Emirates... Emirates economy class is still the best in the world ❤️❤️❤️✈️✈️✈️
Qatar is better they give u ice creams
@@carsvideosr8212 Emirates give you ice-cream too
Leon Hertrich I have taken both and I don't see any differences.
Lovely video. Thank you for sharing :)
I love Emirates and used several times. I've yet to see anyone do a video on them in Economy for an extremely long haul flight from London to Brisbane, and carrying a full load with no empty seats 🙂 My tip for long haul flights is to buy a TRTL neck support pillow. I've tried other types but TRTL is my favourite. My son in law and I also used ours sitting in a hospital chair one night while my daughter was in labour 🙂
Food serving person: hello sir would you like biscuits or a kitkat
Sam: kitkat
Food serving person: proceeds to put two napkins and both the kitkat and biscuits on his desk lol
Daneando if it were me I’d say both 😂
Perks of being an airline critic.
Didn’t watch lol, I came here for the comments
Sam: How to survive economy on Emirates
People on CZcams: 200% TRIGGERED
Same 😆
I can't even afford it so I travel in fly Dubai 😂😂😂😂
The best thing BEFORE flying economy class is grab good food and drinks at a lounge... great video as usual, Sam
Wow the entitlement!!!!! Recently I flew Kolkata to Dubai in economy class and loved it. I guess I am poor so I actually quite enjoyed my journey in the economy class 🤷🏻♀️
