The A380 is Back! An Emotional Emirates A380 Flight

It was my 40th Birthday and I decided to treat myself to a special flight. Flying always makes me happy and there’s no better way to celebrate than flying on an Emirates A380 in First Class.
I started my journey at Dubai Airport and met my friend Gerome Gardiner (airlinerart.net/) who presented me 2 special Emirate’s paintings as my birthday gift. I brought them on-board later to show the crew and have them signed. As I am registered for Emirates Biometric Path, I no longer need to show my passport and boarding pass to enter the lounge or to board the flight. It was that easy.
The Emirates Business Class lounge has been re-opened with all the latest food and beverage offerings. There is a dedicated First Class area within the Business Class lounge, with a table dining service and a champagne bar. The timeless spa and shoe shine is also open now.
On my Emirates A380 flight to Cairo, all the usual services in First Class have returned to normal levels. This includes table dining service, First Class shower and spa and A380 on-board lounge.
At the end of my flight, I felt extremely privileged to celebrate my birthday on-board. It has been a difficult year for everyone in aviation and especially for the A380 aircraft. COVID has made us really appreciate things and taught us not to take things for granted. I believe aviation will reach another peak when the challenge is over.

Are you talking about the EasyPASS automated passport checks? Those are everywhere and just rely on the data on your passport and the photo. They don't save much information, except that you passed or were denied by the system. The ones Emirates use are way beyond that and quite honestly really creepy.

I hate how they normalize such things. And you dont have a choice to avoid it or you are denied service. If you refuse you're called difficult or in the worst case suspicious. Which might also land you on a watchlist. People really should fight this bullshit but everybody seems to have rolled over like a dog in the name of "security".

First positive thing I saw from a too long time... Happy birthday, Sam !
Cant wait getting my feet back into this aircrafts. I flew Emirates a couple times and must say I always had a wonderful experiance. Thanks Emirates and Happy Birthday Sam. We will all be back on board, promised.

Yesterday, i spotted on FlightRadar24 a Korean Air A380 flying from the US to Seoul. It's the first one I see since March. At the same time there was also one of its sisters from Asiana shaking herself on the airport.
thiss is the most emotional video you ever made! wow i'm tearing and i'm also a big fan of emirates, thank you for making this video and happy belated birthday Sam! :D keep up another good videos, cheers!
Happy 40th Sam!!! So glad to see you back in the sky. Best wishes from 🇨🇦. Stay safe out there and you're absolutely right we will get through this and be stronger in the end for it.
Oh SAM: HAPPY BIRTHDAY..This is a beautiful video. My birthday is 07...When I saw the giant A380 fly again I knew we as humans are on the right path. This is an amazing aircraft. My heart sank when I saw what happened to the beautiful B747. and I hope I never see this happen to another gorgeous aircraft in my lifetime. Your videos are amazing. Thank You.
Happy Birthday 🎂 Sam, Glad to see 380's ✈️ returning back into service. Happy Landings 😉
Happy Birthday Sam, may everyday be this special. Thank you for taking us with you on every flight, I have enjoyed the journey so far.
Your best ever video. Proof of a road back to normal is needed so much right now. I just love the a380 and am happy that she has returned to Manchester UK.
Happy 40th Birthday Sam...🥳🎉🎂 Don't stop making videos related to air travel and aviation. They all are really nice. Since most of us like me cannot afford such First and Business class flights, we enjoy the trip and experience with you...😂😀👍🏻
Happy birthday Sam, hope we can get all the crew and pilots back to work.. Together we can I believe the lounges will get crowded again... Soon
祝你生日快乐 Sam！That looks like you had a great day and it’s cool to find out I share a birthday with you! Happy birthday!
I came across this channel by chance and am new to it. I don't even like flying, I'm not into aviation by any means and yet I've gotta say I love this channel and it's content, plus Sams vibrancy, energy and enthusiasm. Keep up the good work and a belated Happy Birthday Sam.😉👍
Sam, the best thing about your videos is your gentlemanly nature...always kind, always gracious, always humble. I've watched some other first class flight experience videos and they were unpleasant. Arrogant, self-entitled people are not fun to watch. Your channel is by far the best. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Happy birthday Mr. Sam. Hope we all will stay healthy and safe throughout this pandemic. All the very best to you sir 👍
I'm wishing you a very happy birthday Sam. I love planes from as a small boy. Your video inspire lots of people heart. Thanks again for this wonderful video. 🙏
This is so cool man, Emirates Team really did a nice job to help you celebrate your birthday 👌
I was feeling kinda tired and stressed out,but after watching this with all the interaction with crew and pilots at the end I felt so much better and hoping people would just be nicer to each other for one day at least.

This one made me cry! You are such a good person. Your reviews are so fair and honest, and educational. Vinaka Sam.
I love how you had to slum it in the business class lounge as opposed to first 😁 I'm past 40 but will be checking your videos out to plan where I want to be in my 50s
