Emirates First Class for £475 | No Points, No Tricks I'll Show You How

You can experience Emirates First Class on an A380 for under £470. Although this is a short fifth freedom flight, you still get the full service. That’s showers, caviar and Dom Perignon champagne.
I’ll show you this amazing experience, from check-in, to the lounge and onto the flight. And then I'll show you how I booked this. There's no points, no tricks, you just pay cash.

    I don't want this to become an FAQ comment but I've had two comments consistently, "Where did I fly from / to?" or "How do I find this price?" and the other one is the correct pronunciation of "Moet". *HOW TO PRONOUNCE MOET* Let's deal with the funny one first, if you want to know how to pronounce something you go to the brand owner, and this is how they pronounce it kzread.info/dash/bejne/qWaMp658ha-zqaw.html Of course when I was growing up opening a bottle of Corona fizzy pop was an occasion and of course Moet was pronounced differently then, it was pronounced "LAM-BRUS-CO" 😂 *WHAT ROUTE DID I FLY FOR £475 AND HOW CAN I GET THAT PRICE?* I really don't want to put it in this pinned comment because I've had lots of comments from keen eyed viewers who've enjoyed spotting the additional clues I missed at the departure airport, there are lots of them. However, if you missed it, I explain where I flew from and to and how you can book this in the chapter "How I booked this" at timestamp 19:11. 😊 I booked a *one way* fare and on Google Flights I'm seeing these priced at £468 one way and £696 round trip [Prices accessed on 13/06/2024] so if you're getting the second price then you can change that to one way to get the same price I paid. Thanks you to everyone who is watching, liking and commenting on this video, and please do subscribe, I really appreciate it and don't take your support for granted.

    Forgetting something on Emirates isn’t a problem. I realized I had forgotten an item a day later and went to the airport’s lost and found. The Emirates crew tracked it using my PNR and returned it within 30 minutes. They also have a process for tracking lost items on multi-segment flights. You can log in to their website, fill out an online form, and they will contact you once the item is found.

    I think the Emirates crew might have loved pampering you and helping to maximise your experience, because your personality seems to be a million miles away from your typical first class passenger .. I mean that in the best possible way, and just seeing and hearing how much of a joyful and unforgettable experience you were having is very refreshing to some of us who have travelled at both ends of planes and watched umpteen trip reports, vlogs and airline reviews .. this was in my top 3 first class reviews , and tbh Mr Grey Gap Year, you’re a breath of fresh air amongst a big bunch of pretty jaded aviation KZreadrs .. thanks 🙏 .. I’ll be gradually checking more of your work on here very soon .. peace ✌🏻..

    You came up on my recommended, so I thought, why not … so refreshing to watch a video of someone who is genuinely as excited and appreciative as what 99% of the viewers would be in that situation. A little bit bored of watching other vloggers who come off as entitled and hyper critical of the “luxury” experiences; as they’re now desensitised to them. Thank you, and have subscribed to see more down to earth and honest reviews 🙂 Ps. I’d have no idea how to eat caviar either with all of those spoons and dishes 👍🏻

    Great trip report! I’ve been looking into the same route for years so I knew the moment I saw the thumbnail. Flight looked awesome. The Emirates lounge at BKK is somewhat disappointing compared to the newer combined Business and First lounge Qatar has at BKK. This vid made me still trying to get that shower in the air trip with EK BKK-HKG some time. And Dom Perignon is never wrong 🥂
