    This is a last minute trip to see my ailing grandma - who raised me. I would like to imagine that through her blessings I got this free ticket to go see her. As a result of this last minute planning I had the take the first available flights and it turned out to be Cleveland - Philly - LGA (overnight) - JFK - Dubai - Calcutta (India).
    The Free Ticket
    Earlier while flying from New York to Calcutta, India I was asked if I would sit out that flight and take one the following night. In turn they gave me a free round trip ticket for the same exact sector to be used within 12 months. So, I took this flight using that free ticket. I did not believe it would be "free" because there are always some hidden cost etc but to my amazement - I didn't have to pay a penny. No tax either! Thank you .
    The Trip
    This trip took me three days to complete. I had to physically go to the Emirates New York office to pick the ticket up so an extra day was used up. The Cleveland to Philly sector was uneventful but once in Philly we ran into a lot of problems with delays (as you will see). Delays upon touchdown to the gate, delays once we boarded the flight....however all this meant a beautiful approach over New York City.
    We had by mistake washed the voucher for my free ride - so I was scared they won't accept it and issue me the ticket....but....
    This video also covers the things I did while on the various flights and Dubai Airport including sleeping cubes, showers...sprawling across empty seats on A380 and more
    This video is dedicated to the woman who raised me - my Mamoni, and I will forever miss her. Hope you enjoy the ride and see you all next time!

    Thank you Rohan. I've really enjoyed your videos I've seen so far. It's generous of you to share your trips with us. You are great at showing details and giving hints that one would normally not get to see.
    I really feel now that I've had the pleasure of flying with you (but even better, here I can press Pause anytime, and duck outside for a smoke. lol).
    I've flown long flights (mainly Dunedin to Seattle) enough to appreciate the wisdom of many of your hints, some of which I'll definitely apply on my next flight. Thanx again mate. :-)

    ro ... watching your two long haul episodes here has been getting me through a challenging time lately. It's like a security blanket as I move through it, you know? I share your passion and intrigue with commercial jet travel. Keep doing what you do. You have a really personal signature in your selection of shots and information. It gives me that embryonic joy of flying and airport mystique that I really love. Thanks again!

    Rohan, I've been following your videos for 3 years now and I have to say this one is my absolute favorite. I think I've watched it a fair few times and it never fails to keep me enthralled. Your way of storytelling is truly inspiring and does really bring out the magic in flying, from the subtle details and insights to the amazing shot composition and narration.
    I remember using your video as a reference when I was in Dubai in 2012 and checking out the airport. I was flying Emirates as well and had a positive experience on my return flight. I had a question about your DXB-CCU leg, the meal you received didn't look like a seafood meal to me, so did the crew forget about it?
    Thanks a lot for posting these videos!

    PS: I think the East Bengal player at 17:58 is Penn Orji, the guy played for Kerala in the ISL last year, he's a great sport!

    Great Videos ro, I remember I watched one of your videos prior to traveling to Europe and I followed your advice of pre ordering the meal, absolutely brilliant advice I liked it :)
    And I guess my luck with A380 is good like yours, as I've been into the 380 3 times out of 4 planes I flew during the whole trip
    Keep going and may your father and the women who raised you rest in peace
