Seriously? I can’t believe they still offer that old school business class cabin in 2024… thanks for sharing the experience Gabe

I agree, I didn't find the lounge inviting and in the morning it's like a railway station. It may be big, but to me that's not a selling point.

The funniest thing happened before your video started: KZread played a commercial, Qatar Airways advertising their business class. The Emirates business class as shown in your video really surprises me negatively. I've flown in their Economy a few times 6-8 years ago and that was a great product compared to other airlines. Looks as if their expansion went at the expense of not keeping the business cabins competitive.

That is funny! Ideal placement for Qatar and most likely not an accident on the part of Google Adsense 😁. The crazy thing is Emirates has its superfans regardless who don't care that this is the business class offering. Emirates is very deliberate about what they do so I have to assume it's a conscious calculation that they can get away with not upgrading these cabins, and that seems to be true. It's all pretty interesting, in any case.

Great video, as always! I don't think I could stand everyone being able to see my screen

True that would be an odd feeling if there were others in the row!

For someone like myself that also has the perspective of flying international long haul business class, I share your distaste for the EK aesthetic. The comfortable seat and a positive attitude from the crew tend to make the flight more enjoyable. For me, it’s the hard product along with the food offerings that do it for me. Keep moving forward!

Yeah good point! Thanks for your thoughts and for watching!

Almost exactly my experience on the 777... Crew much more attentive and less rushed and yeah, something about the cabin that actually is pretty enjoyable, even though you dont think it will be. Helps having a pretty empty cabin... And when it is like you had, it feels really spacious. Try the Breakfast Martini next time too

i bet those middle seats are the least worn-out of the whole cabin though. At least i'd hope they're the least used.

Robbery, 3 middle seats and the entertainment controls were antique for both NBO-DXN, DXB-CMB. The business class lounge is like a Bus Stop.

Thanks for this review! Were you sitting in seat 6K? I'm flying on this plane in July in business class from ATH-EWR and I'm conflicted on which seat would be best. I chose 6K but I'm worried if the person next to me is sleeping that I will have to climb over them to use the bathroom 😬

@airedition

27 күн бұрын

Yes 6K! You’ll have lots of room to get out. I think it’s the best window seat.

When it comes to lounges, they should be an oasis & better for transfer passengers. I'm an avgeek & like to get to the airport early but there aren't many lounges that are actually worth the visit. I've noticed many reviewers make to big of a deal about going to a lounge. Maybe it makes them look important. Its the least important thing for me, unless i have a long enough transfer. For boarding and landing music, I'd prefer something more relaxing.

@airedition

2 ай бұрын

I think a good lounge makes a world of difference. It's a way to be apart from a potentially crowded and chaotic terminal; it means you have access to free food and drink and can avoid inflated (and probably poor quality) airport offerings; it's a place where you stand a chance of having some undistracted work time between flights or even a meeting. In the best ones you can even take a nap in private. But of course, the main event is what happens onboard the flight, I agree. Thanks for the comment! (and I also agree with you about the boarding music)

As for suggestions where to go next for new adventures, I would suggest getting in touch with Missionary Bush Pilot found here on KZread. Doing some flying with him in Papua New Guinea I'm sure would be an amazing experience!

I have a couple of channels related to aviation I really like here on KZread. Your channel is one of them and I also very much enjoy Missionary Bush Pilot's channel. So as a consumer of your great content, seeing you do something together would be a win-win! We would have awesome content I'm sure and you would have an amazing adventure to share with us 🙂

I don’t understand why Emirates have so old school business class cabins ? It’s not that there fares are cheap, so they got to speed up the replacement on their 777.
