    My 20 Tips on Flying an Airbus A380 (in no particular order)
    #1 Book early and go online and select your seat. Keep in mind that you cannot lean your head against windows (and sleep).
    #2 Carry an empty plastic bottle and ask the crew to fill it up with water. To land fresh you must drink a lot of water and the small glasses that serve you are not enough and you'll end up pissing the crew off by constantly asking for water. Ideally start hydrating a week before your trip!
    #3 As you plan your trip, start working out or walking 30 mins a day... in other words, the fitter you are the less of a strain upon arrival.
    #4 Remember, you are going to have a long line at the Immigration counters with over 450 passengers on this plane. And add to the number of bags that you'll find on the belt, its going to take some time to get out - so if you have connecting flights make sure its at least 3-5 hours in hand to catch that flight.
    #5 Always ask for special meals. Those meals come first and you will be done before the folks next to you get their food. You wont be jousting elbows over that piece of respective chicken. Plus, the food is piping hot.
    #6 If its a all day flight, try get a little nap but if its an overnight flight, try getting sleep by popping a pill. Maybe a over the counter sleeping aid.
    #7 Dont drink beer etc. You are only going to dehydrate yourself.
    #8 Always take your contact lenses off. If you dont wear lenses, always carry eyedrops..your eyes will get dry on these ultra long distant flights
    #9 Always carry lip balm/chapstick, extra pair of pants and t-shirt. U saw what happened to me, luckily the seatbelt saved my day or else I would have changed. If I didnt have a change - disaster lol.
    #10 Sit on any first row of seats in the respective four section of economy. Plenty of legspace and easy to move about.
    #11 This aircraft has no lounge area in economy, so taking a walk for circulation is tough call. If you really have to stretch then go right in front (where you saw me putting on my shoes). It quiet there too
    #12 Carry a book, just in case you cant find anything good to watch (which I highly doubt cos there are tons of movies etc). Or, just in case your screen does not work!!
    #13 DO NOT keep an ink pen in your pocket. It will leak and ruin your shirt/pant (due to the air pressure)
    #14 Make sure you get your USB cable with you so you can keep your phone charged (peace of mind).
    #15 No point zipping out your state of the art laptop in economy - you wont have room to really enjoy!
    #16 Jetlag. Remember, when you fly West - you are going to feel sleepy early and you'll wake up early for a few days upon arrival. Flying East - you will goto bed later and wake up later (which is a problem). That is why, flying east is bad in terms of jetlag because not everyone can sleep in late, so you tend to get tired easy as the day goes by....so try adjust accordingly.
    #17 When you check in - ask them to put FRAGILE sticker on ur bags. Those bags are loaded at the end (on top) and taken off first. However, with the A380 - there are just too many bags for this strategy to work
    #18 Dont eat Indian curry etc day before or during the flight. It may give you bad case of gas! That is why you will always see me eat the bland seafood!
    #19 Wear loose shoes
    #20 Finally, just enjoy the ride, you wont be doing this everyday!
    Cheers....and hope this helped. Happy flying!

    Hello seatgurus, On my round trip to Perth, AU via Emirates Airlines A380 from JFK I also made a brief stop to change planes (Boeing 777) in Dubai. I also sat in 44H an aisle seat on the right side of the aircraft. I used the SCOTTeVEST with a small carry on bag. No waiting at the baggage claim area Total flight time was 24 hours. The service and cabin crew are TOP NOTCH. I had a Samsung 7" tablet with me and I was able to use the FREE limited data WiFi to email and speak briefly to friends. The 120 volt USA configured outlets at each seat kept all my tablet fully charged. I also used the USB port to charge my device. Your review is excellent. Thanks very much.

    From an aircraft engineering mind, I saw this aircraft as a marvel and a feat of engineering. You've restored it to its status in my mind as the most incredible individual craft ever built, by showing me the sheer amount of everything that makes a plane good they managed to cram in... still in comfort, with over double the amount of aircraft as say a 777. Fantastic. I'd like to work on these one day just to spend time inside.

    If all their planes are as packed as this guy says they are, that would explain why Emirates chose to buy 40 additional A380s....

    nice one. Had a A380 experience on MUC-DXB-SIN-DXB-MUC with 4x A380 last week. Loved it! Had also 3x a seat in the front a 1x a seat in the rear. Both were okay.

    Thanks, I enjoyed your video. I have flown emirates many times in economy I think it takes some beating. I fly Glasgow to Dubai and then on to Bangkok which is two 7.5 Hr flights. I normally enjoy every minute of this. I have used my Skywards points to upgrade once or twice to business class which is just phenomenal.

    I flew on the A380 just last week and had the same issue as you when recording out the window because the outer glass is so much farther from the inner glass than most planes. What I did was set my camera (a GoPro Hero 3+) to narrow view, which helped focus it on the outer window. You probably figured it out by now, but just a tip. Great video by the way, loving the channel

    That's just breathtaking. My family was coming from Pakistan and there were delayed over 7 hours so they received free economy tickets in the A380-800 from Dubai to JFK. I was so jealous!

    Great video, I must say. Emirates' economy class is the BEST out there - you are treated royally. I flew A380 economy earlier this year from JFK to DXB and it was a great experience. I actually found the seats to be a little roomier than the regular ones.

    Second row portside for us from Dubai to Hong Kong. Could not hear the engines, except on take off. Dubai/New York was almost 15 hrs.in 78 j/k. Still very quiet. Took a lot of your advice and it was quite helpful. Thanks again for your vids. BTW, the 777300ER is a wonderful aircraft too. I think, like you, that the A380 has just too many people but Emirates has 59 of them, so far, so they surely love them.

    @asifahmed6043 9 лет назад

    The best trip report I have seen on u tube. I am traveling from DXB to Dallas on March 2 and have taken the first row seat as suggested by you. Moreover, the suggestion of keeping oneself hydrated during the flight is very important. We can keep 500ml empty water bottles for the purpose. Also the choice of seafood meal is prudent as it is easily digested. Constipation or gases would be disastrous on such a long flight. Thanks for uploading such an informative experience

    When I was in my teen years, I took a lot of flights and learned VERY quickly that it's better to wear broken in, loose shoes and forget what others think even if they gripe that your shoes look ugly. The part where you couldn't get into your shoes happened to me once. I learned the hard way too!!

      LAX does a direct flight to Sydney with Qantas A380 it is about 16 hours the longest i have done was so far was 11 hours cattle class from London Heathrow to SFO. I do not know if SFO can handle the A380's they may be coming early next year

    Thank you Seat Guru, We are due to fly on an A380 in December and had seats right at the back. We have now changed and were lucky enough to get row 43 The very front, the ones you said were the best in "Cattle Class"
    Thanks for a great Video.
    Cheers

    Fantastic review. Economy is the only class I would be able to afford or likely prefer to pay. The A380 flightdeck reminds me of the retired space shuttle.
