- Emirates, Etihad and Qatar all offer a strong economy product on their A380s, but which is best? We flew back to London from Doha, Dubai and Abu Dhabi to answer exactly that in an economy class battle. For an in-depth written flight review look this way: bit.ly/A380Comparison

The crew of the Qatar airways are such lovely friendly people, When my son was almost 3 years old he was tired and it was way past his bedtime, he cried alot and it took a while for him to settle down, they were so helpful and compassionate. They could see how flustered/emotional/teary I was .. they tried their best to help me calm him down, when he finally went to sleep they checked on me again to see how I was doing. It was a long 12 hour flight, and they spoiled him with heaps of treats and snacks, they would play with him and were so happy to see his true cute self after he rested. I thanked them so many times and made sure they know how much it meant to me to have their support.
Funny thing could be just the experience with that crew
@Damian Patriot cheers mate. thank god kids grow up. But for real people hate it when the parents are not even trying to calm down their kids. God knows I was doing my best and on the verge of breaking down in tears. Eh... it's in the past now but what I still remember was the kindness of fellow passengers and the crew.
I don't know why but l don't LIKE YOUR KID.

Amazing,Eman.
Anyone else get excited when you hear the rattle of the food and drinks carts coming ?
Yaki Kadafi lol yes
Yeah that's when I wake up
I feel bad because I've to interact and my english sucks.
@@LordHeigler you shouldn’t feel ashamed for not knowing english well 🥺
I smell the food while boarding the flight
imagine ur watching a movie and u see some random guy placing cameras everywhere
Do they need airline approval first ?
"Oh shit! Am I appearing in some movie?!"
I will strike a pose and make sure im looking great at every angles

Remember Qatar Airways giving me a birthday present on my flight back home and the flight itself was amazing. For some reason the cabin was not that crowded so me and my family had like 2-3 rows all to ourselves we basically had business class experience with economy tickets lol
what was the present?
Emirates does that as well!! We got a whole meal of bussines class as well ass birthday cake
An important thing is that Qatar has 18,5 inches wide seats, Emirates has 18 and Etihad has 17,5 on their A380s. This matters on a 8-15 hours flight
You probably made that up because obviously Etihad had the widest seat
Ethan Price yeah this Guy probably thinks that AUSTRALIA doesnt exist haha
Skiral Don’t let the seat fool you, it’s rather narrow on Etihad and food quality has dropped A LOT. These guys flew Etihad before they got rid of 3 course meals.
Fax
Just shows how incompetent reviewers these guys are
Qatar does serve a very good Lunch and Dinner. It is impossible to make the breakfast omelette stays soft inside the oven.
Then they could serve something else -
I am a gold member with qatar few 10 legs in a year and the food is not good in economy.
Exactly! It's quite not fair to compare lunch/dinner with breakfast menu. However you can make eggs very soft with a better technique of heating (reducing dry heat and putting more medium steam). Those scrambled eggs in the video are unfortunately made wrong way (mistake of galley manager probably)
Ivan_ [Ka] and they do. There is no harm having the option
Qatar is SHIT.
The Qatar stewardess that gave him a Diet Coke was on my flight from Singapore to Doha yesterday and she was so kind to me. She gave me extra things with my meals and when I asked for a sprite she said their not selling it but she went to the back of the plane and got me one anyway!
Oofis mufis
She was on my flight too, she gave me head
Yeah, even the American airline's stewardess gave me that. The Qatar stewardess who gave you a diet coke does not mean Etihad or Emirates won't. Etihad is better in my opinion.
I've only flown Qatar and Emirates before, but what I remember vividly about Emirates was their in-flight entertainment system. I had a two-leg flight (Europe to Dubai and Dubai to East Asia) and the same favorites I set on my in-flight entertainment system on my first flight, stayed there on my second flight. Even the movie I only watched halfway through was still on, on the 2nd flight right from the time I stopped it. This was a couple of years ago, and it blew my mind
😮
Just the video that we all wanted and waited for! Thank you so much!
YEAH!
Mallu?
Yes
A huge problem I have with this review format is that people can have different tastes and expectations to anything, especially when it comes to dining and service.
To give an example: If myself and two other friends all tasted the exact same meal, chances are that if we were to rate that meal via a score, we would have different numbers.
When reviewing the airline classes, for all we know, if those guys tried ALL THREE of those airline flights of the same class (and not review just one) THEN would they give the exact same score as each other?
While entertaining and a little bit informative, I just do not see consistency in this review format, unless all three of these guys are reviewing the exact same flight(s) and then giving their thoughts/opinions.
Coudnt be more agree with your comment. for someone who is been flying with these airlines over & over & over again, I always experienced different kind of services and meals and I must say, they always surprised me. every time I go back to Indonesia, service from London abu dabhi & abu dabhi jakarta, london doha & doha jakarta, London dubai & dubai jakarta they are totally 180 different experienced. QATAR, Emirates, Etihad have different services when it comes to different destination. Well I think every months are different.
Bro your name is funny asf but also facts😂👍🏽
Abhigna Vijjapurapu I love long flights
Abhigna Vijjapurapu 20 hours Flight gives 💯
Not that deep
My bro was sick on Emirates and the crew was so supportive and helpful and this was on a six hour flight to London
My whole family and I loved our entire experience with Qatar in 2017!! My youngest brother who was 10 years old at the time had really high fever and flu during our flight to Manchester and throughout the whole 8 hours flight the crew was so supportive constantly asking us for anything that we might need and coming up every hour to check his temperature and bringing water and snacks so he would feel as comfortable as possible. His ears were hurting from the soar throat and they even had ear drops for that which I was very surprised by. Loved their hospitality!!
For me Emirates died when they introduced the 15kg luggage restriction for their cheapest fare. I really love Qatar for keeping it up with their 30kg luggage restriction to most destinations and the free seat selection, which is quite rare nowadays.
~~Olli~~ when did they introduce this??
@@1234nikster onemileatatime.com/emirates-baggage-allowance/ february of this year.
Bro I flew a week ago and I had 30 kg limit maybe its location specific because it was not a restriction for me
Ratchet mind telling from where you flew?
Me too
Great review, loving the reports. Excellently made, a joy to watch.
I flew with all of the three airlines varius times. I have to say that Qatar's and Etihad's food were very good but i didn't liked Emirates food at all. In Qatar the crew was very friendly and it felt a Little bit like being at home, but Etihad ' s and Emirates crew were very professional.
Emirates thank you so much for putting sanitary towels! 🥳🥳🥳
Thank you for consistently labeling each segment with the relevant airline's logo. I enjoyed this review!
great video. hoping next video will business class comparison review on 3 middle eastern airlines
In August 2021, It was my first time ever travelled in an international flight with Etihad Airways (Economy Class). From Manila to Abu Dhabi to Tel Aviv... The food were excellent and the cabin crews were quietly friendly. If I'm going to rate the over all services 10 is the heighest and 1 is the lowest it would be 8. 😊
That is a good score, it seems that for me anyone of the three in economy or first class let's say would be a good experience. I think if a flight is over 7-10 hours then leg room is important, most would not be comfortable sitting cramped for that length of time. These three guys did a good job comparing each one and each one received a high score in turn.
How many meal they served? Could you choose from menu like on qatar? And how many times can you have beverage and snacks? Thank you if you answer would be so great :D
I really appreciate Jean for pulling out the sanitary napkins in the restroom. Nothing sucks more than forgetting to bring a pad then having to ask for one on the plane while you're bleeding between your legs. I always look out for airlines that provides sanitary napkins because it shows that the airline is thoughtful and considerate.
True
Beeeuuuurrrkkkk gross !
@@christbdx grow up
@@goblinsgal yeah fr
In my opinion it's the other way around. I had really high expectations with Emirates, but they really let me down. Qatar has the best price/quality for sure.
Agree
One more joke 😂
Etihad, in my opinion, is the best, they provide great food, a quality inflight system and the comfiest seat, if you have flown all three you would understand.
@@officialwowow Etihad only goes to 160 locations around the world. Qatar and Emirates go to 350 locations. Do u know y does etihad only go to 160.
@@croydondebruyne9849 Where do you live to need 350 locations?
Some "secret" city?
I've flown to many places using Etihad, all these locations were available with Emirates and Qatar but Etihad is just better. Didn't you hear from Forbes, that the 2022 best airline and #3 was Etihad? Didn't see the emirates up there!

Sinagpore airlines!
Is it opinionated by one person or was a survey conducted?
arsenaldaniel7
Many people seem to like these airlines the best. They both also rank very high.
Philippine Airlines trained almost all pilots of Asia, and now they are all exceeding that airline, lmao.
But I wouldn't call it bad because they are number one most improved, according to Skytrax as well.
Hainan is a joke. Any top anything list that has this cattle hauler on it, loses all credibility.
Love the comparisons! Travelled all 3 and love all 3!
Hold up, I can’t bring bottled water with me on a flight, but they give you metal cutlery?
Now do RyanAir, Easyjet, and Norwegian
Nonstop Dan did it check it out
Norwegian is not really budget air
Food4you they’re a budget airline, similar policies to the former two with the exception is that their seats recline.
Luleph Ryanair is a classic for me aha
Norwegian was amazing, they gave me free tea :D Easyjet is not bad, a decent budget air. RyanAir is called Cryanair in the UK. You can guess why.
I’ve been waitinggg !! Finally
well narrated with examples... these are way frequent flyers really need.. thanks for such a wonderful videos
Normally fly emirates to Dubai but flying etihad this year to Abu dhabi as it’s so much cheaper, excited to watch this!
Much appreciated video. Nice comparison which will make choosing economy flights easier. Thank you guys.
Love the format yet again, a 3way comparison. Great details, comprehensive and lighthearted.
Keep them coming guys!

Only just caught up with this posting !! As always chaps a great vlog....loved it !! Stay well in these most awful of times !!
Hello There, a decent comparative vlog, a decent and well produced review video throughout. Cheers Peter Mc :)
Love these comparison videos, keep it up
Thanks Agam!
Another fantastic TPG UK video. Love this economy spin on the previous 4 cabin concept. Keep surprising me guys, I like it :)
I think for the food, you can’t compare breakfast to lunch. I’m ex crew for Emirates and although some breakfasts are good, they don’t compare to the lunch/dinner meals so I think that may have affected Qatar’s score a little.
I was thinking the same thing
Spot on most airline eggs are no great
You guys are the best, thank you for the video
Great job guys!
Love the comparison points! The stewardess race is brilliant!
Thank you,
Good job guys
Hi, The Points Guy Departures team. I've enjoyed all your videos and make me always want to fly different flights. It's a request that you could make a full review of the new updated A380s of Emirates VS Qatar VS Singapore on the premium economy classes. Thank you in advance. Keep making more great videos.
Great video boys. So informative and well presented :) Can't wait for the first class review of all 3 haha
Qatar Airlines is AMAZING! Flew their A380 from Sydney to Doha and the takeoff was so quiet and smooth. My goodness.
no way i am going from sydney to doha by qatar airways on july 9!
@@restitutororbis1018 thanks. From doha i will be then going to beirut
Bassil & Co wowww! Enjoy the flight, you’ll love that plane!!!!
Agree
Excellent guys..two thumbs up..keep growing !!
I thank Kara and Nate, cause they led me to your channel.
Ya'll are amazing 💕
I missed the guy who flew eco plus on your previous video
ಠωಠ
regardless, excellent concept and delivery!!! 👏👏👏
Great Video!
Cool 😎 video, thank you for all the useful info
Thanks for the review of these 3 best airlines,though every individual have different taste and openion,still these informations are quite helpful.
Brilliant video lads! This is how you do comparisons! Same aircraft and basically same route! PERFECT
Thanks for watching!
About the call bell thing, it also depends on how full the flight is and how busy the crew are.
A review of the three airlines in a single video is impressive! unique way!
nice...thanks for the Info...I need this...
Great video!
Thanks guys for the beautiful presentation ! 🍺🍺🍺
Stumbled across you guys whilst searching for a decent airline to take us to Brisbane from UK next year, i must say i think you are all brilliant with you're vidios being clear,precice and quite fantastic thank you so much for info.
Terrific video! Definitely earned a subscribe from this traveler! For New Years this year we had the privilege to take Qatar Business class qsuite from JFK to DOha! Incredible journey, however, on the way back we took economy and it was a miserable flight! I agree about the food on Qatar. This was our first time with QATAR. Now in the past we have been very loyal to Emirates airways (jfk - Dubai) long haul flights and 15 years ago when our son was a toddler- the flight attendant literally carried &walked up & down the isle with him to give me some rest. I was given the same courtesy about a few years ago with our daughter! So if your a perspective traveler, I don’t think you can go wrong with picking either of the 3 the gentlemen reviewed! Happy & safe travels 💜
The most informative review ever most people can’t afford these first class reviews that we always see
Nice to see such good service across the board. Another fab video :)
@Polo G fabulous
6:31
patient zero
is he gonna lick his socks 😂
Like there are no germs in his shoes already 🙄
I always use sandals
Most people didn't care about germs and viruses pre-pandemic
Recently flew Qatar a380 upper deck economy, it felt like business class because it was extremely private and the crew were amazing
Compare the Asian airlines like
Singapore airlines
Cathy Pacific
ANA
NH > SQ > CX :)
CX is completely shit and bull crap
I got upgraded to first class of course I accepted. But then they told me that the TV thing was fucking broken. I would rather ride Eco
and Vietnam Airliness
@@tlon9 Yea, I flew Cathay Pacific a couple of times and it was alright. I flew business class once and the TV was also broken, the hinge didn't lock the TV into the viewing position. Any slight turbulence caused it to swing back into the "closed" position! Luckily it wasn't a long flight and it went pretty smoothly.
And Air India
I feel like breakfast on any airline is a hit or miss. Personally I choose the sweet option for breakfast on any plane. I always fly Qatar instead of Emirates now simply because I find that the Qatar A350s are nicer and the transit experience at Doha’s Hamad is miles ahead of the mess at DXB.
Anyway great video and hope to see more amazing content!
oh yes I love Hamad... it's so new compared to DXB
i’m so happy i subscribed to you guys
great video guys .. good job
Qatar has great dinners, they're very tasty, the breakfasts are more average but lunch and dinner are winners! ;)
ramio1983 true, Qatar Airways is more expensive than Etihad and Emirates
@Think Pink and why dont you just stfu
@Think Pink and yeah no
I've gone on the way to Japan and i ate the dinner and it was pretty good it was difficult to choose what to eat! since they did have japanese food but they also had some pretty good looking chicken but i ended up eating the japanese food but it was amazing!
I agree! All airlines do pretty rubbish breakfasts so it’s really unfair to compare Qatar to Emirates and Etihad in respect to the food. I had a really nice beef stew on Qatar!
There is absolutely no way I would walk without shoes to the bathroom. Nasty af
Esther Mtz R not if you go into the Emirates A380 new models!
lol same
Esther Mtz R you clearly haven’t tried Emirates toilets they are super clean
U don’t even do that in ur house?
Ur poor as has probably never been on good airlines and prob went in shitty American airlines
I love to travel a lot but had never fly too far from my country. I wish one day I could fly aboard with these three airlines. Finger crossed 🤞🏼
Excellent work guyz
Awesome video 😁✈️👍🎥
Top review, thanks! I also looked up a lot of reviews before booking 4 flights with Qatar in September, my choice for Qatar was first: price for ticket, second: luggage included in cheapest fare and last: you’re are able to choose your seats for free, and bonus good flights hours. All in all most of them 3 would give the same (top) service in economy onboard but for me Qatar is still a step before the other who changed there policy in economy over the last years.
They charged me for mine
Love your videos!
I love it. Awesome review.
The service part just depends on how full the flight is, where your seat is and how many flight attendants are also doing jobs, you can’t really get too much of an accurate rating on that
I flew both on Emirates and Qatar, also on A380 airbus one from Singapore to Dubai another from Singapore to Doha.
I choose Qatar as the seats are more comfortable, food was better too.
Good video.
Cheers!
Singapore to Doha? I went on a flight like that. The next flight was in an A380.
Emirates is far better than Qatar airways
@@mohammedashrafkhan5165exactly. i fly 1000 times with emirates but only 4 times with qatar
Superb reviews!!!
I love these vids
I love this video, Etihad is the only airline I have not being on amongst these 3. I love both Emirates and Qatar, looking forward to experiencing Etihad .
I’ve flown with Qatar four times, and on every occasion I’ve been fortunate to have my own row. The last time, there were two of us in a row, there weren’t many on the flight, so the staff advised us to spread out, after take-off and find an empty row and relax.. 12 hour flight too..
Qatar is insane and I want to fly their qsuite so badly
Great video. ☺️
Have had the opportunities to fly on business class on all 3 airlines although I fly Qatar more frequently. All the airlines are impressive in terms of services and the Qatar new biz class seats are out of this world. Although I have to agree that foods on Qatar Airways and in their biz class lounge require the much needed improvement in terms of taste and choices.
Great video and comparison apart from the food section. It seems impossible to get scrambled eggs right on any flight i've been on and all of the scrambled eggs i've tried have similar taste/texture, so I don't think it should be marked down on that. But Qatar does serve great lunches/dinner too.
service time: goes over 5 seconds
nicky: *visibly pissed off*
I love going on walks during long haul flights lol just exploring the airplane a bit is always kinda funny. I miss traveling :(
I am very happy you guys did this. My dad had just booked a ticket on ethihad and I was wondering how the flight experience would be. I am now well informed! Thanks!!!
TPG UK is the best!! Great ideas and very well executed!
just flew emirates to Colombo and the experience on the A380 was great, not so much on a very crowd 777 for second leg. Those headphones are a bit weird but what irritates me is why they (and many others) hand out printed menus when this could easily be handled via the onboard entertainment system. Having flown Etihad to India previously, they're both good airlines experiences.
This is my favourite video on RUclips
Lovely video!
what a shame he got the old A380 IFE screens instead of the amazing new HD screens that are being retrofitted
Been on emirates for a few times yeah it’s good I love the ife cause like the shows are just unlimited and the WiFi is good
very nice video!
excellent video very well elaborated it would be possible if they do it the same but in first class thanks
Can you guys do another one with the same airlines but in first class
I’ve flied Emirates once from Brisbane (Australia) to Singapore and it was alright. Did the same route with Etihad and ten times better. Does help that they don’t make people pay for the emergency row or bulkhead in economy with Etihad. Hope the guys can make their way down under after the virus on any flights to Australia
4:51 I had the same meal when I went on Qatar airways and I found it quite good! I had another meal as well on another flight and also loved it. I guess my standards are very low LOL
Thank you so much for your honest thoughts. Planning trip from Kansas ( mid America) to Singapore and been nervous regarding which airlines. My sister loves Emirates business class but I would have to take a second mortgage out to afford that- there are two of us flying. So economy it is for us and have heard from associates to look at different airlines than typical US airlines.
We don’t want to be completely shattered when we get there !
Dan you can’t be real, Qatar economy is the best for all to be honest.
Agree even the service was the fastest actually everything was good maybe the food in some flight is old but anything else qatar wins
BUX GT have you tried the EMIRATES A380? That Economy is the best there is!!
@@bodigames nah fam
Yeah Qatar is the best
I’ve been on Qatar over 5 times and it’s amazing
I fly about 3 times a year (for school not including vacations) as a student. And the flights are quite long about 20 hours total fly time. And i have tried all three of these airlines. Qatar is by far my favorite. The crew is the epitome of hospitality. They are nice and very quick too. The flight always feels seamless and time flys by (pun intended). The other two are also really close, but i just prefer qatar.
As someone who has only traveled personally on Qatar so I will refrain from comments on the other two, but It was a long 14 hour flight on an a350, and I really don't think there was any thing wrong. The crew and entertainment and food were all standouts. The crew were just so nice and they willing, without me asking offered an extra meal. The entertainment was so good like so many different options. Lastly the food was very good especially considering it was economy. So props to Qatar
