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.

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.
An excellent review, and an experience i need to add to my list. Thanks

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.

Doesn't get much better - I love the way they styled the suite
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.
Looks like an amazing experience, makes my 1st class flight with Qatar look decidedly average lol. great video

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).
