Emirates New Premium Economy and Upgraded Cabin on A380

- Опубликовано: 8 янв 2021
- Emirates recently revealed their new Premium Economy seat onboard a new A380. I was invited to take a first look at the new Premium Economy cabin.
I interviewed the Chief Operating Officer of Emirates, Adel Al Redha, during my tour of the aircraft. I asked him why Emirates is launching such new product and whether more airplanes in the fleet will feature such a product.
Currently, Emirates is not selling Premium Economy seats until they have more airplanes equipped with the new product. For the time being they are giving complimentary upgrades for frequent flyers and full fare paying Economy passengers. More details of the soft product in Premium Economy will be revealed in the future.
Not only Premium Economy, the rest of the Emirates A380 cabin has also been upgraded. You can see the new fabric and finishing’s of Business Class and Economy Class.

I am so glad that Premium Economy are improving a lot nowadays, it's like it's so fit for people like me that isn't willing to spend on a business class yet not satisfied with the normal economy seat, this just fits right in
I've been flying only with Premium Economy seats since 2010, and it's really a bang for the buck without killing your travelling budget
yes, definetely, over the past couple of years my family have had to be flying economy bc business cost to much. now with premium economy, it will be absolutely perfection
Other airlines : *retire the A380*
Emirates : and I took that personally
What kind of stupid airline retires a $450million plane?

Love the wood panels and light colored seats. Definitely a nice change in atmosphere, very luxurious and calming.
Airlines: We have a new feature....
Sam: Is for me?
I am really happy to feature any new airline, new product showing how great aviation is. Who doesn't like the new airplane interior smell ?
@@SamChui Everyone does, It's brilliant we have someone going to different airlines and showing its features
You don't mind if you heart the comment? 😁
@@SamChui I do Sir
By the way,Huge Fan
My cousin brother also is
He wants to become a Pilot
This is the third time of me going to this video
Thanks a ton
It's so sad how everyone is already retiring the 380s. I really hope Emirates keep flying them for many years - such a beautiful plane! I'm always in awe of its size when boarding one
dream came true they are back.
I absolutely love A380s! Really glad to see Emirates revamp the A380 rather than retire them. That's why they lead the aviation industry in A380 usage.
I have always flown A380 with Emirates and hope to continue doing so in the future. Well done Emirates 👍!!
While other airlines sell off their fleet, Emirates is upgrading theirs to entice us back.
It's a very good move on their part. Sure, airline travel might be down now, but it will eventually return and there will never be a shortage of people who want to see the world in person whether for pleasure and business (you can only do so many things with a client via video chat, plus there are individual client preferences that want in person meetings and/or demonstrations.)
All emirates need to do is include a stop at LHR between UAE and USA and it’s good bye BA, Good bye virgin.
Could imagine Emirates A380 services landing at Heathrow from DBX and then onto USA. It would make LHR’s third runway entirely needed. Future looks great for Emirates
Unlike other carriers Emirates has deep pockets via government $
@@deadlyfoo1 no other airlines get government subsidies,right?
@@kev403 not like Emirates
I thank you, Sam, for venturing the world for us when we can’t
@@Qatari2007 OH NOOO think about MUH VIRUS!

Well yeah but at least he can give us an insight into the world
Hi
True well said
This truly shows the luxury that the A380 has to offer
The cream-colored and turquoise interior makes a big difference from other airlines that use dark colors. Emirates seems so bright and relaxing.
A wonderful PE product. It’s always interesting to see the reality when the cabin is full of passengers with reclined seats vs an empty cabin which always looks so spacious
Who doesn't love a Saturday morning Sam Chui video 😎✈️
For me its a Saturday night because I’m in Australia
For me its evening becaoz im from INDIA 🇮🇳
It's night for me because I'm in Singapore.
For me it's Friday evening because I'm in Philippines
Me at night:wdym?😂
Very nice!! Glad to see an airline bringing back what flying once was: a nice luxurious way to travel in comfort. Hope to see other airlines up their game too.
I truly love flying Emirates on the A380, to Dubai, I always wish the flight was longer, as I find it totally relaxing 😊
Sam, your video editing and sound support selection and overall integration have all really moved to the next level. Well done and thanks for your helpful posting.
Flying on the a380 is amazing, doing it six times I can say it's my favorite aircraft.
That’s absolutely excellent. The customer who can’t afford business class is now able to fly in a luxurious yet affordable environment. The seats look like they’re out of a high end car such as the Lexus LS. What a great idea!
Can’t wait! I’m flying to Milan next month from JFK. Even economy looks luxurious! I heard the crew is well staffed also. Definitely makes me feel more comfortable. Thank you Emirates! Showing the rest of the world how it’s done.
I saw another video where they talked about premium economy on Emirates.
And they found a flaw in the design if someone with the aisle seats is fully reclines and you’re sitting behind them by the window seats you can’t get out because the seats in front of you is blocking you plus if you are sitting behind the seat that has reclined that seat is practically in your face. I feel that they should take a whole row out and spread you out a bit gives you more legroom then if someone reclines you can still get out and you don’t have a seat in your face for the entire trip
1:00 "I can still slide down..." says the 1,67m guy... what a reference
Sam, my granddaughter and I haven't seen each other in a year due to covid. So we chat on zoom and watch your videos together now. We love your enthusiasm for plane travel, not from nostalgia for the world that we left behind but for a better, healthier one. Thank you.
Thank you for still providing us these lovely vids Sam!!!
Keep up your amazing job
Thank you for sharing your experience taking us the cabin of the A380. Emirates is one of the few operators getting closer and closer to the true usefulness of such a massive flying marvel of engineering. Great video.
it would suck being seated behind someone that fully reclines if you weren't fully reclined too
Agreed, would have been nice to see a shell design. I believe the rumoured HAECO Eclipse Seat features this so that doesn’t happen, as well as some other existing PE products
Was thinking the exact same thing...
Exactly. Why they dont use Shellseats like Air France.
The seat behind sam was also fully reclined !!
I know, but you could just recline to alleviate that. Of course it would mean you and the person in front agreeably being in sync with one another the whole flight, as to both of you sitting in up and reclined positions at the same time.
Finally a Premium Eco! Can’t wait to experience it myself ✨
Thankyou Sam for wonderful review. It looks great with your perspective!
Love the interiors.
Was waiting for this.
Thank you so much Sam😀
The a380 is such an amazing aircraft it’s sad to see it go😢
In fact, the a380 has outstanding feature for passengers.
@@77l96 it size does allow for it to be less prone to turbulance and allow other comfort. Say what you want, but passengers love the plane.
@@77l96 being economically unviabke is not the same is nothing being good. It's still good in terms of engineering, and passenger comfort
@@77l96 are you dumb the a380 is a marvelous aircraft passengers love it 😍 So as the company operating it . Due to the pandemic and the time it came out it never allowed the aircraft to reach it potential. Plus it allowed airline like Etihad take off With is first class suite so you saying the a380 aircraft isn’t good sound dumb.
You said the a380 isn’t good of it feature cmon on bro you making your self look like a clown 🤡 Bro it have showers and bars does the 787 have if it do it not better Than the a380 cmon make some sense. It space allow for all those do you think you can put a bar as big as a a380 on a 787 and a bar and have a lot of space no ok then. It allows companies to expand there business. Like the a380 in Emirates I flown on the 777 and the seats are cramped in economy while last year I went on the a380 I had a lot of room . Remember in order for a airline to make profit consumers need to be satisfied with the product and the a380 allow that.
@@77l96 Lol What did I say people prefer the a380 than narrow body planes for long haul flights dumbass if you give people a choice they would chose the a380 in economy than narrow body planes it gives more space which is what people want especially for high demand routes clown 🤡 which makes airlines profit right the only reason why it never reached it potential because of fuel prices and timing and plus the pandemic it hit airline hard which caused many of them to retire the a380.
Flying in the Emirates A380, even economy class is a beautiful experience. I can’t imagine what it must be like for First Class/Business Class. But I hope to try Premium Economy soon. Looks amazing
We are loving it bro keep doing what you do I love emirates and haven’t been able to fly forever and this reminds me of the good times
Absolutely love the a380 generally, this premium economy enhancement on Emirates with their award winning in-flight entertainment system and service means this is sure to be a winner! Cant wait to fly with them! 😀
Watching this with a nice cup of tea in hand :)
I didn’t know changed the interior
Reclining in the seat with the leg rest is a bit misleading when he doesn’t show the level of “comfort” if the seat in front of him is doing the same.
Pity the poor individual in the seat behind who wants to sit upright and the seat in front wants to fully recline! Hey get your head off my lap! Joking aside it is great if everyone hits the sleep time at the same moment, Having said that Emirates are just an awesome Airline to fly with. My 1st choice from Perth to Dubai every time.
@@alanfurlong-drummer4419 🤣😂🤣 Not to mention there goes your service. All of your food will have to be handheld...😂
@@BlaqViper no the tray table is built into the armrest
@@codybowman803 But if the person in front is in full recline and the person behind is upright trying to eat or work on a laptop, just how functional is that tray?
@@BlaqViper hmm I guess an inflight review with lol answer that
Sam, I was looking so forward to Emirates Premium Economy. Thanks for showing it to us!
I agree about the A380. I absolutely loved it when I flew on that plane. The Premium Economy interior looks very comfortable and plush.
Final Emirates has a premium economy and i love this video i was actually waiting for Emirates to have premium economy for many years so that you can relax and sleep in the premium economy instead of paying 1000s of dollars to sit in a first class seat or a business class seat.
YOU ROCK SAM CHUI
Oh yes new premium economy from Emirates. Gonna try that when we are back to travel overseas 😍
Those seats look really comfortable! Thanks for the tour!😍
What a gorgeous aircraft it was! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING✈️
When given the choice, I will always choose the A380, even if the ticket is more expensive.
There is just no comparison.
The first ever aviation youtuber that I have ever met on RUclips.❤️
I was wating for this i saw all the thing about this in your blog and ig :) Love from nepal
I just love the colors... And the new fabric in economy is so stunning... The colors throughout looks so welcoming. It does lighten up the cabin, looks more spacious.. Can't wait to travel again!
i have to admit, that's pretty good interior design. looks really nice and luxurious. well done Emirates 👏🏼
I'm really loving this Premium Economy, it's a great option for Travelers, I can't wait for them to be rolled out💃
The colour combination and shiny wood effect, BRILLIANT!👌🏾 Thanks Sam.
Happy New Year to you and your family .🌹🇬🇧
Thank You for sharing this, A380 is absolutely amazing!

I love Emirates! I even created an augmented reality experience featuring them (You can fly the A380 from your home). Wish I would be invited to create a virtual reality experience inside their aircrafts!
Hi is there a link to this experience? Is it online?
have you considering contacting them? they or more likely other A380 owners might be willing to part with actual aircraft seats for there A380s that are now taken out of services.
You would be surprised how often they do like to help you if you are really interested.
it might take you a bit to get a full set including plates, cups, tray liners, curtains and what not. (how far do you want to go)
@@sirBrouwer Hi, thanks for the motivating comment Brouwer! I did, but they ignored all the emails I sent to them. I contacted many airlines to be honest to no avail and even to Sam. This virtual reality experience is going to be my graduation project (I am a computer science student), but since I am not getting cooperation, I am doing a different VR experience.
@@OrSNCucumber
Here are a few tips that could work better.
first try is to call them. a email is easily clicked away a phone call a little less.
Even better if you can visit a airport.
Ask them who do you need to speak with and can you get a appointment with said person. (Often the first person on the phone/desk doesn't know much about that kind of things but they do know people that do know)
Know what you need and explain said person what you want to do with it.
Do be prepared to make it as easy for them to say yes. If you want to buy a old airplane chair be prepared that you will have to arrange for shipping on your dime.
If they are willing to help you try to keep them engaged they might know just the person that has that other item or might.
Aviation people often love talking about aviation. (the engineer department is your best aim).
If is for your collage/university ask them if they have someone that knows someone with in the aviation business. Any one with a foot in to the door is extra. Even if it's someone that works as a tour operator.
@@sirBrouwer I tried all of these :) Believe me, I asked colleague in university, professors, people who previously worked at the industry, former flight attendants, I made phone calls but things are hard. Especially for someone like me who is not famous or known in the industry just yet. I managed to find a company however which will allow me to create a similar experience, and hopefully if everything works out well, I'd have opportunities to expand. Thanks a lot once again for all those helpful tips, they are indeed helpful, and I practice them on many fields in life!
Looks amazing, look forward to flying emirates premium economy next year!
You are my favorite aviation flyer. Love your vids! And you deserve so much more subscribe
Pemium Eco has been a missing piece with Emirates. Looks well executed. Particularly like the quilted seats and cushions. Like a luxury vehicle indeed, which in a way the A380 is. Rare and special.
Amazing video Sam, thank you! The whole plane looks beautiful. Airlines should really learn from Emirates when it comes to interior design. There is so much potential to make flights more comfortable, safe and special. Add a nice theme inside your plane and flying becomes a whole new experience for everyone. The standard sterile white interiors on most aircraft just lack a little life, in my opinion. Creativity is key in everything. Emirates is taking the right steps in trying to make economy look somewhat comfortable and nice. A little color definitely helps. They could further improve their cabin by replicating their premium economy look using less expensive materials (faux leather.) And regarding the Airbus A380, one can call it a failure, copycat, whatever. The plane is beautiful, unique and even somewhat revolutionary. I definitely would like to fly it someday, and Emirates looks like the right airline. Great video.
Thank you, Sam, for sharing your wonderful video with us.
I am looking forward to watching your next video.
Sam 你太神了！！emirate 的豪經艙新聞才剛出來我就看到你的影片！！ 太愛你了😂😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Looking forward to sitting on a Emirates plane again!
Sam has the best Aviation content that I have ever seen
Yes, his videos remind me of James Asquith YT. Very funny and relatable!
I only ever fly Emirates from Perth to Dublin as I find the staff just awesome to deal with.
Hey!.. Its amazing!.. Thanks Sam for showing us!
Emirates has been consistently a Top World Airline!
I feel like travelling with them without a final destination!
I really liked to fly on the A380, it’s hard for me to understand why other companies do not keep it. It was the most comfortable airplane I flew in!
Simple answer: money
this video reminding me working at this airline before. good to see previous company and Adel again.
Can we all thank the camera guy for these amazing shots!? And Sam! As always a amazing video! Thank you
Why does Adel Al Redha talking about the seat remind me of Omar Baba the FlyLo airline CEO from ComeFlyWithMe 😂😭
Hahahahahahahaha best comment! 😂
You mean the one who wants you to pay for the live jacket?😂
Sam, this is a real dilemma. I really want to fly premium economy but I'm retired & travel is now my hobby. I love the Emirates A380, I've flown 11 times in the past 5 years but I just can't justify the extra cost for 2 people. SYD to LHR via DBX it's more than $2,000 extra depending on the month you fly. I don't want to sleep in a park in London. Maybe just that last leg to London for a treat. Love your video's. Let's hope we are all flying again soon.
This is a great video Sam this will make a lot of avgeeks excited as well me being a huge fan of you every video makes me excited to watch it's so interesting!
I was was waiting for this for a long time !
Sam having the COO of Emirates talk to him on the plane is impressive! Another great video Sam!!
Can't wait to fly on this new product from Emirates. Thanks for showcasing this for us Sam 👍
Finally been waiting for someone to review it
What a gorgeous aircraft. I got goose bumps looking at that shiny cockpit.
What about the passenger sat behind you when you recline the seat? On BA it’s an absolute ball ache with a passenger in front reclining all the way and it’s not the best feeling. Business class from now on 👍
It can be reclined means you could recline your seat as much as u want. If you don’t like someone infront of you reclining their seat then you shouldn’t be on that seat. Go to your business class.
Just what I was wondering. I also wonder how much that 'little' extra is for Premium Economy. Æ 🤔
When a seat can recline that is it's intended purpose and the person in the reclining seat has every right to do it.
Why is this so hard to understand for some people.
@@Sillysillylittleman seems like you may need some help understanding before commenting on other people's understanding.
East or West, Emirates is the best!!! Thanks for this amazing tour of the Premium Economy offering and new A380. Love this aircraft...
I love travelling with Emirates, have been in business twice can’t wait to try premium economy
Sam, thanks for providing me the dreamy virtual flight experience
I pray who ever sees this be successful in life 💖❤️
Wow, this looks amazing 😍 So glad they’ve finally done this! I love flying with Emirates!
🙏
Great
I love the color palette. It's very elegant. Thanks for showing us!
Great video Sam, the interior of this A380 is superb👌. Please keep the videos coming 😀
We are going to see more airlines upgrading their fleet to premium economic since the business/first class witnesses a decline in demand. Emirates has always been foreseeing industry demand and taking bold actions about it
A380 is KING that can never be replaced by any other plane and Emirate knows they're from country of king so they want to keep A380 as long as possible. Thanks for sharing Sam
Thanks sam for giving us the experience of the flight
Really welcome to see the A380 supported - beautiful aircraft - the best!
What about having them fly to New Zealand and Australia on the Ultra Long Haul flights?
Hahahaha I’d do it once Aussie accepts us again.
It seriously looks like commercial Emirates advertisement rather than his own personal experience
Of course... This is a part of his income.
YESSSS I WAS WAITING FOR THISDD
You have some great videos Sam.
Looking forward to to boarding Emirates.
Emirates’ premium economy cabin. Overall, this product is pretty competitive with existing products offered by Virgin Atlantic and Japan Airlines. Emirates is the first Gulf carrier to offer a premium economy product, so it’s going to be interesting to see what kind of competing product (if anything) Qatar Airways and Etihad might offer in the future.
Bottom line. While most of the changes introduced by Emirates aren’t groundbreaking, they’re still positive and will improve travel for most passengers onboard the A380. These upgrades are also fairly sensible, considering Emirates is reeling from a global economic downturn caused by the pandemic. With travel projected to rebound next year, these improvements will give Emirates a competitive edge without making a huge financial debt.
How expensive compared to economy .do they fly from India in particular from Hyderabad
1st class seats are inspired by those found in the back of a mercedes s class 🙌
Not those tho, those are the older ones, which is interesting. They upgrade then entire classes but first... must be covid cuts
The first class is so ugly I don’t know why they didn’t update it with the ofhers
Beautiful new interior of the plane. Well done Emirates. Always happy to watch Sam's traveling video's.
It is beautiful. Thank you for sharing lovely video!
Welcome to you as well. awesome ✌️✌️ Have a good Day Sam 🙏🙏🇳🇵
Yes the premium Economy does look good but one thing. When the seat is at full recline, the person/s in the seat behind, can they get out easily? The seats look like they go back quite away.
I was waiting for this vid!

Thanks Sam. I have a couple of A380 EK4 flights booked for later in the year that were postponed from 2020. I am now even more eager to get on those flights.
