Josh Cahill is there an economy class review coming?
Josh Cahill Greetings from Canada. I'm already following you on Instagram. Keep up the great work! 👍🏼
Hello ! Former Flight Attendant here, I will tell you that passengers always complained about turbulence during meal times.. one thing that people don’t understand is we are usually still climbing or having to climb within that time frame and we have a ton of work to get down to serve you. We are always one or two steps ahead of the next service as we need to be to make it a great service for the passengers, you can’t go wrong on this Airline, they are , in my opinion the best Airline in the world next to Cathay Pacific..
I flew Emirates Business class from Houston to Dubai last November and I used the little Ipad thing to keep the flight map playing while I watched a movie on the big TV screen. I loved being able to see the flight map and not having to stop my movie to see where I am.
I have dm you on insta too
Their business class is like first class on other airlines!
Ooo do not know about the 😲
Like Titanic, second class was equivalent to first class on other liners!!
@@lordrobert12 ya
06:25 the lady at back to her husband "Who is this guy talking to?"
lmao i know right
They look like they are not knowing the aviation yt
I think they're probably annoyed as he is kind of filming them without their consent
Wrong, met them at the bar and they said that’s all cool ;)
@@Bestie85 Nobody don't needs consent. Unless the attendance tells me otherwise. But they can't tell you to shut up as long as your talking at a normal volume :)
i would use the small iPad for the plane map while watching a movie on the big screen

I used the iPad as a remote as I couldn’t reach the screen
I’ve done that too
I would use it to watch something while lying down
Flown Emirates business just once on the A380. That bar helps the time pass very easily! Great video.
Just did SYD-CHC-SYD on Emirates A380 first leg in First (seat 1A) and return following day in Business (seat 9A). Same crew all of whom were very friendly. Bar was only setup for SYD-CHC which was disappointing.
Agree about inflight food - average. I had eggs for breakfast that were basically hard boiled and chicken for return dinner extremely dry.
Used Qantas First lounge prior to departure - very poor when compared to flights a couple of years ago. No newspapers by 7.00am when I left and paper towels in the bathrooms (used to be cloth). I strongly recommend Emirates lounge in SYD unless you're getting spa treatment in QF.
Good review Josh !!!
Great balanced view of your Emirates experience Josh, one of your best reviews. I think Air France would be a contender for the best selection of wines.
I'm adding this to my list of vlogging trips asap! New subbie❤
Proud of being part of Emirates
QANTAS usually has a great wine list, I also found Turkish and Oman Air very good as well.
Love business class on the A380
Ha ha Josh was pretty "chilled" from hanging at the bar...good review;-))
I used the tablet for the inflight map. Great video!
Love VA J on the 332. Stunning service, food and amenities. Things have changed recently but cannot fault. EK looks great even with less salubrious catering. Thanks Josh!
Emirates is an amazing airline, and flying there A380 is the most comfy way of traveling.
Matthijs Van der Heiden Nope. Emirates lost its glitz & glamour especially with the higher amount of money they are charging . If it's 2008-2012 era I would recommend Emirates but now ? No. Turkish Airlines & Singapore air both win over Emirates any day. Average airline.
Was! Was an amazing airline..
Matthijs, how do you define "most comfy"?
Your claim needs some "meat on the bones" to back it up?
I mean we've all seen what Singapore Air, Qatar & Etihad have on offer on that route (just to name a few). Also, I would only add such a glowing comment if the shown review wasn't contradictory, like in this case. Or did you not watch the whole video?
Mkoni Dama Definitely agree on Singapore Airlines, if you would have said Etihad, Qatar Airways, Cathay Pacific, Eva Air or ANA, it would have made more sense, but Turkish Airlines ? 😂😂😂🤣 On their shitty 2-2-2 business class configuration, their new business class on their 787 is average as well 🤦🏻♂️
Stay safe of Coronavirus!! Love from Dubai
Lufthansa got really good vines (expensive)! in business 3 red and 3 white and 1 special vine depending on the menu.
The one and only time I flew Business Class was on Emirates 380 from New Zealand to Birmingham return. My client paid. It was an amazing experience which I will always treasure. The crew were amazing and the bar was such a cool experience.
@10:10 I normally use it as a way to have the live map playing on my side while watching something else on the main screen. I’m flying Business on their A380 on Friday. I’m looking forward to it!
Etihad's catering and food was really good and I also love the A380's lounge. Qatar's Qsuites were nice but since Quistes were on A350 that I flew on, I missed the lounge as A350s don't have a lounge. Also at some point, I was getting a little claustrophobic in Qsuites. But Qatar does provide pajamas and it makes a huge difference on a long-haul flight. I like the champagne choices on both Etihad and Qatar.
We have Emirates here?
Great video Josh.
Regarding your questions on middle eastern airspace specifically in the gulf. I’d fly over Baghdad no problem because I know there are sophisticated defense systems in the area. My issue however would be over Iran. After the growing tension between Iran’s and the US in the first few days of the year and the subsequent shoot down of the Ukrainian aircraft that would cause me some concern. Furthermore, there’s the ethical question of whether airlines pay Iran to use their airspace, these are just my opinions and feelings. Others will probably say it better than I can.
Airlines always pay the countries over which they fly in the form of 'overflight fee's'. Nothing ethical or unethical about it.

Wonderful and informative as always - love you man , keep up the good work.
I flew TG's A380 BKK-NRT which is one of thier premium route &T the service & hard product was very average. I have flown from at least 4 cities out of Pakistsn to DXB & the service has almost always been exceptional.
9:57 yes like when you watch a movie and you want to see where is you're airplane and info you don't need to get out of the movie
The tablet is really handy for changing channels and controlling your seat if you're lying down. All you have to do is turn to your side and use the tablet
Thanks Josh - that was REALLY useful!
Yes I did follow you. How can you upgrade to business class on Emirates for such a low price???
Emirates food in business is generally very good! I think it just might be the leg you are on...
Amazing video josh! if you really love wine on planes you can't wrong with Air New Zealand! on one flight i took they carried 4 type of wine just for economy class and a second time in business class they had nearly triple that number!!
Hi Josh! I really liked your video (the first one) and I already subscribed. Looking forward to see more of your report (plus your last videos ;) ) In my opinion the best wine list in Business Class is in my hometown / county on Austrian Airlines. Their wine list on long haul flights served 3 red wines , 3 white wines, one champagne 🍾, one (mostly) rosé sparkling wine, a Prosecco from Do&Co, one port and one Austrian style kind of port wine. Plus of course the classic spirits and of course Schnaps. Kind regards
My favourite airline...especially in Business Class....and have always found the food to be excellent !! No problem flying over Iraq..Iran etc...if it wasn't safe they would not be going near the place !! Great and honest review as always Josh...thanks again mate !! Looking forward to the Bogan Express with Jetstar !!
Thanks for the video 🤜🤛
Thank you Josh for this authentic video. We really like your honest videos.
Thank you for the video!
Great Video! Was at the same flight like ;) but in economy :( I agree with you WiFi was really slow on this flight and yes the cabin was really quite (only 62 dBa) even when we started!
MrMaggo83 should have said hello 👋
Well I did on Instagram. But I guess because of the slow WiFi on board you didn’t got the message 😅
I use the tablet to keep the route map visible and the main screen for movies, news and other viewing.
Always an objective professional view Josh, Tx.
Always love your videos Josh ❤️✈️ think the bar experience could make or break an Emirates flight! I'm off soon LHR - SFO BA economy but paid extra (🤑 BA bean counters) for a window seat upstairs on A380 (so just x2 seats). Hoping for an empty seat beside me as last upstairs A380 was SQ LHR - SIN Biz Class which had excellent food, wine list, wifi, crew - I think I'm heading for a reality check!
I am afraid to fly...so I live vicariously through you. LOL
Bali flight to Aussie is the "Bintang Express" after the Balinese beer :-)
I’ve been on this seat and the bar was nice and it was one of my best flights
There is an underlying humor in this dudes face. Its like he wants to laugh every time he looks in to the camera lol. I like it, it's like he brings u in on an internal joke.
definitely agree
I like Emirates, and I flew it to destinations all over the world on both business and first classes. I trust their service to Christchurch is the longest commercial route? On a few occasions I literally flew around the globe with the first and last flights on Emirates. And that tablet (which is not an ‘iPad” from Apple) is useful as a controller when you are fully reclined in the sleeping position. The WiFi is complementary for customers with a certain level on the Emirates loyalty program (silver and above?). I don’t care about the wine or alcohol selection - yet that “pub” area in the back by the toilets is a favorite of mine for chats and conversations with the crew and fellow passengers. I never fret over flying through the airspace of countries like Iran or Iraq - North Korea might be another matter, though?
Not a suprise maybe, but for wine (and cheese) BC on Air France never disappoints. Champagne after take-off is always welcome.
Cultural heritage plays a significant part in customer service on airplanes. Planes are your first glimpse of the country. The problem with service on the Big 3 Middle East carriers compared to the Far East carriers is the number of expats Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar use as flight attendants who are not familiar with eastern hospitality. That's why airlines such as Singapore Airlines rate so well. I think Josh did a video of Pakistan Airlines and although the plane was not in the best shape and was delayed the service was spectacular.
I totally agree with you! We shall fly once more the A380 next Sunday, 9 February, from Zurich to Dubai and from there with a Boeing 777 to Cape Town. The wine choice is really poor in Business Class and the Food normally is just average. But the Onboard Entertainment ist fantastic. And we love the 380 bar!
Hi Josh, great video! If I want to use my own noise cancelling headphones what kind of adapter is needed?
Wow I wish I can visit too that country, keep safe man
Do we have to buy from the bar behind? Or the items are free in the business lounge behind
"Bogan express" hahahaha yep that pretty much sums up Jetstar
Qantas and Air NZ great wine lists. Air NZ Prem Economy food was amazing!
I will be taking it soon since I’m going to Fidji 🥰
Thankyou for making this video beaucuse i am travelling next month to dubai with business class. And i want to see how business class looks like.
Air NZ wine list is sooooooo good, even in economy!
I agree
the pad is usefull if you want to configure your seat individually, other then that i dont use it at all.
thanks great vlog good luck
Be careful of Coronavirus Josh as you frequently travel to South East Asia and China....
@Cheaper CharlieAbsolutely....Hmm btw I guess we have met at MY TRIPS channel ?
@Cheaper Charlie on the other hand we know what happened with My trips..
Hi Josh another great vlog. I have only flown business with Emirates once and had very bad service it was so disappointing they were on par with BA won’t use again
May I ask of what kind of camera did you use to film this vdo? Insta 360R?
Good review.
alluring meal Service. looked tempting. You did not feature the cheeses. I would say pristine meal Service. The Bars are so so great ….
.
Love the reference to the “ Bogan Express “ , funny but true ...Also is it just me , or does anyone else hate the faux wood look . Looks like a grandmothers dining room with all the polished wood 😄
I used the tablet for flight tracking and big screen for movies
Mate we call DPS to Australia with Jetstar the "Bintang Express".
Best airline
That was one hard landing XD
That was a rough landing. In Aviation, a hard landing means a landing where weight of aircraft is twice the original weight on touchdown.I am sure it is rare.
Ye, I thought that too!
Hi Josh, wenn du bei Emirates Skywards registriert bist und C oder F fliegst, kannst du das Wifi den ganzen Flug ohne Volumenbegrenzung nutzen, deswegeb ist es so langsam. Das Tablett nutze ich gern für die Flightmap. Das Catering habe ich als gut in Erinnerung auch die Weine, die Champagner sind eher die günstigen, die besseren gibt's in F. Die Bar im A380 ist der Hammer, sowie die Duschen.
The drinks at the bar are free or should we pay for it??
Wine list? Very important. Up to now the best is qatar air but klm has a small but nice choice too.
I think that air France has the best wine list even on the economy class they serve some quiet good wines .
Hi Josh; been following you frequently! Intrigued by your report. By now I'm a gold member with Emirates and have frequently flown between Auckland (where I live) and Holland. On the stretch Auckland Dubai (17 hrs) only 1 1/2 meal service, and lucky if you get your choice; and I mean business class! Service has really come down and am very disappointed! Thanks again for your coverage! Flip, New Zealand
I always have that problem when food arrives turbalance
I am supposed to fly Emirates Business Class from NY to Dubai on the A380 in November first week. I’ll let you know how it goes. However, this is my first time flying business class. 😃
Good and informative review. Good luck flying Jetstar although if they know you are flying, you may avoid usual cancellations and long delays
Agree Noel
I have used Jetstar Asia quite alot within SE Asia, even though i never been delayed i have given up on using them because like you said, always canceling or changing departure times. Had enough of the B.S.
i think emirates wifi is so slow because economy pax are given 2 hours free. if its an empty flight its quite good but when its full its really slow. Although, i quite like this as i have 7+ hours to disconnect. Also, the entertainment makes up for lack of wifi.
Was only 20mb last time I flew with them.. I wish they upgraded it to work faster. Even WhatsApp is impossible on a full a380 and most of their 777 flights I've taken the WiFi didn't work at all
@@louier9033 yeah, for economy its 2 hours or 20mb (which ever comes first).
Damn! You’re just so cool Josh 😎
Four choices and ran out of all of them the time you got served. I guess when sitting in the back row got to expect that.
Nice video
Lol just keep on seeing from 6:20 the two people behind himmm lol
I fly Emirates quite often and I get such upgrade offers 80% of time. It seems to me that they offer such upgrade deals a lot. For me I don't care about shuttle car or lounges, so it seems o be a great deal for me if I do want to have a good relax onboard.
Ya i avoid flying over the Middle East during times of conflict.....gives me a very uneasy feeling. Evwn with other airlines i made sure to pic those who avoids the area.
I really like your videos
Emirates must be cost cutting- there used to be juice & soft drinks in the mini bar not just water and the wine list used to be much more extensive. Yes the food is marginally ok (also used to be better) but you can always get more to eat from the on-board bar. The club sandwiches are good & the gourmet meat pies are very tasty...
Gee Cee I think it depends on the route. I flew from Nairobi to Amsterdam and had more than 6 wine choices and a lovely meal service. The flight from Dubai to Amsterdam was in the A380.
no other U.S. carrier can compete with Emirates. Plus they have no first class cabin except for AA on only a few routes
Josh, my teenage niece used the ipad when she was lying on her side in the bed, just like she was used to at home in Ireland, so maybe it's designed for younger passengers???
It's crazy how Emirates started all the luxury but are slowly starting to fall behind like airlines like Qatar.
I've heard that Qatar has terrible staff in business and first class
Genki's Travels I mean they’re still in the top ten but u have to admit their first class is in another level it’s amazing
@@Paco1337 true, Emirates is way better, I've been on both the carriers and one can percept the difference between the two
I have had 4 flights long haul with Qatar in january 2019 and and 4 flights long haul with Singapore airlines in january 2020! and sinagpore wins! qatar was good but singapore was the best !!
@@Paco1337 no way. they are best
Is the noise cancelling headphone free?
Hello Josh, thanks for your gréât job on vidéos. This sas old buiseness class on A380 of Émirats, i things so. Will you test théier news buiseness class?
Have you flown Emirates 777 business class? How would you say the 777 compares with a380 business class? Great content too! Thanks for your effort
Not a lot of wines in the list but there is a bar in the plane!
U shoud try qatar airways A380 first class wine list stunning, also they serve entire vintage of krug champagne 2004 which qatar bought the whole vintage year and u can only find it in Qatar First Class , also there Bar is so much better.
Hi! I think because the internet access is free for everyone (for the first 2 hours) I guess its pretty overloaded at the start of the flight. Hopefully it gets better once the freebee runs out. You also don't mention that if you are in business or first AND are a Skywards member its FREE for the whole flight. I am flying with them next week to Bangkok, hopefully I can find out.
Nice Video Josh.. ;-)
Josh, just wanted to say I’m hooked on watching airline stuff (even tho I rarely fly) but of all I watch, I like your ones the best. I appreciate your unbiased reviews. PS I thought this review felt really rushed. Almost like you didn’t want to do it... sorry
I flew over Tehran with Emirates less than a week before the tragedy. I didn't feel good about it, I was uneasy but it was the easiest way to get to where I was going (Europe)... I think I might suck it up and take a longer route with a different airline next time 😬 If Emirates cut flying over dangerous countries out of their flight path how would they get to Europe?
To answer your questions Josh, I can’t believe you even went to Afghanistan let alone fly over Iranian airspace. I would never. Wine list and food has to go to Qatar, their menu is like a book. Thanks for the loo review as well and another very thorough review! Oh and I hate turbulence!❤️👍✈️
So, what do you do to avoid it? Call the airline before booking and ask them about potential flight paths?
I will fly Emirates business class next month and have a question about the chauffeur service. I made my reservation on the website and am wondering if I will be contacted the day before to let me know exactly what time the car will arrive. Were you contacted before the day of the flight?
His upgrade did not include chauffeur service.
You are the best
About the pad, I don't use it. It's quite heavy.
The Bogan Express LMFAO. That sums up Jetstar from Bali to Australia just perfectly. Dont forget to grab your Bintang Singlet wear your thongs on board and make sure your absolutely tanked on Beer prior to boarding to ensure the "full experience" as an Aussie Bali traveller. Geez Josh you get a free hair with your headphones and you complain!! Whats the world coming to its free for goodness sakes.🤣🤣🤣 Love your work, your style and your sense of humour 👍
