Just watched the video, my wife had called me up and told me she'll be in the video. I'm truly jealous! Wished that I could have met you, Sam! (guys thankyou for these many likes)
For years, Sam's positivity, humbleness and great attitude shows whenever he speaks with people around him. Those are some of the reasons, people keep on coming back to watch his travels. I feel like I also get to experience first/business class whenever I watch him.
Great job as always Sam!! While most of my flying days are over now, I spent 30 years of my engineering career traveling about 300,000 airline miles per year. My family and I (American) lived in Singapore, Tokyo, and Shanghai -- for over 20 of those incredible years. And my wife loved Hong Kong. My Uncle Bill was an Air Force pilot, commercial airline captain, and I still vividly recall when I was 8 years old, he took me into the cockpit for a flight -- I was forever hooked -- just like you!! An education in aeronautical & aerospace engineering became the end result. Now, at the age of 67, I just watch every one of your videos, including lectures, and relax, enjoy all of the forever memories. KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK YOU DO...
2:32 "It's disappointing when you go on an international flight and don't have a lounge..." Yes, so disappointing 🤣 (Cries in row 568 of economy with self brought sandwiches to the airport)
I mean if you have a good enough membership with an airline you can get lounge privilages. Like for British airways if you are a Oneworld alliance member you can get access to a lounge even in economy using your flight miles.
@@richyket Memberships have been getting worse and worse in the past years. Harder to get points, harder to keep them and less to benefit from. Lounge access is one thing, upgrading or partially free flights require an enormous amount of flying. I fly quite a lot but only because my boss pays for it. Doing enough flying to earn basically anything is not for the common irregular flier. That's why I found the comment about lounge access a bit disconnected from the reality of > 90% of the flying public.
@@shaungriffin150 Not particularly. It all depends upon how big your bottom line is. If you are a multi, multi-millionaire, 20K-30K is back pocket change. A multi-millionaire with a well-diversified portfolio that has good market exposure can, during a good market run, easily make that kind of money back in the portfolio in under a month.
You could tell how much that bao meant to the Chinese cabin crew. Thanks for never failing to capture the emotions of flying, even that of the cabin crew's, during your trips, Sam!
We fly every year (Covid excepting) London to Sydney and stay about a month in our flat out there. For many years, my wife and I flew economy but, as we got older, we could no longer live with the economy seats (not food, not toilets, just the seats). So, we began to fly business class; usually Emirates but also Etihad and, once, China Southern (Usually A380 but, once because I flew via Perth, Boeing). We were upgraded by Emirates on one leg to First Class. A few personal observations: If you can afford it, Business Class is well worth it. Just for the seats which should be fully flat. Food is great, TV entertainment is fine. The individual seats are quite private. First class. We got the same kind of seat but in a cubicle the same size as BC but with a sliding door. Food the same but you can choose the times. TV is bigger; you can have a shower on board if you want. Frankly, we wouldn’t pay to go FC. The extra cost isn’t justified for us. The last time - before Covid - our agent came back with the cost for Emirates - it had gone up an awful lot. So we said, if Emirates/Etihad/Singapore are top of the Premier League, who are still Premier League but lower down. He came back with a couple of choices and we selected China Southern Airlines. Saved £1500? Again, our thoughts - no chauffeur collection and delivery both ends. With the money we saved, we could easily organise private taxis - lounges. Not bad - say 90% of Emirates - but certainly no complaints - seats - as per Emirates/Etihad etc. - food - Excellent. More Chinese dishes, but Emirates/Etihad obviously have Arabian dishes on offer - service - perhaps better than Emirates Lessons for us. BC is all we need; don’t think that you have to fly Emirates/Etihad/ Singapore etc. to get what we need. Back in the EC days, we flew BA and Qantas several times. It pains me to say but those flights were the worst that we ever had. We’ve never even considered those two again. Does being a national carrier encourage complacency?
Thank you Sam for treating the flight attendants with dignity and respect. The Chinese Baw your mother made that you ate and shared was one of the highlights for me. All the best and more adventures to come...
Before the pandemic I was travelling to Dubai half a dozen times a year on business, Emirates Business Class which is still a great way to fly and I miss that tune like you do!
Sam, your videos get better and better. What an outstanding summary of your flight. All the little extras you add to your videos make them 1st Class. Well done and thanks for allowing us to share the experience.
I flew first class from Atlanta to Detroit. Fresh out of basic training heading home on leave. The stewardess seen me and my friend in our class A uniforms and brought us back up to the front of the plane and said you two can sit here. It was a good feeling. The food is so much better there. Free drinks too.
@@lucy3687 I wonder where that stat came from? Humans are complex beings that never have enough. Wealth might not bring satisfaction, but it certainly brings the the luxury of having food to feed yourself and a roof to cover your head. Two things that aren't taken for granted in poorer nations, and the people there living an everyday struggle to acquire it.
That's how it generally is in luxury accommodations.. in the booking site they ask for your legal name and a nickname. Watch one of the day in the life videos of emirates staff, they have a pre-flight briefing so they're ready for you.
Very impressed with this livery, all those services, the cabin crews, interior decoration of the aircraft, the cuisine as well as inflight accessories, good job Sam for bringing this, this is one of the best airline in the wrold
there are always good services for anything, you just have to pay up for it. In fact things are technically getting better and better, but at the same time, it's only worth mentioning this if the price is less, which it definitely is not in this case. So i guess same old.
I’ve found myself watching a lot of videos like this lately, but this channel certainly has the rest beat with the positive atmosphere! (Also nice Maple Leaf on your pfp, OP)
The seat itself is fine - the only thing I don’t like is the somewhat claustrophobic feeling of the curvature of the A380 fuselage along the windows (2K is my go-to seat). The center ones feel more spacious, but, of course, you are sitting next to someone (with a big barrier though).
@@How-hard-can-it-be Unfortunately my days of flying the apartment are finished with the grounding of their A380s. Looks like I might have to give Emirates a go as Diamond Class also seems to be on the way out with Etihad.
@@PrioCaptSend They are impressive, but I find the placement of the seat weird, but the service is fantastic. I do miss a shower on a long haul flight, but that is definitely a first world problem.
@@lknown Nah he nailed that "where you from" to the South African FA with 100% sincerity. Doubt it would go any different cameras off, I'm a student of human behaviour just sayin
This is so nice to see!! A380 is back!! Awesome!! Hope to fly soon, once this aircraft is the only one I travel comfortably!! Thanks for your so encouraging video, Sam!! 🤟🏽
First time watching one of your videos Mr Chui, I enjoyed it! All aspects covered, and like that you took the time to establish good rapport with all the staff; easier when its one-to-one attention all the time but even still, you could’ve kept it strictly business. First Class does look nice. Personally my primary need is to be able to lie flat and I can do that in Business. For me the rest is just window dressing and not worth the (significant) extra cost.
My employer lets me travel, 13 times every year and I make sure I can get first class as many times as I can…..This year I travelled like 5x. 3 in first class and 2 business class
@@aaronsnitzer2596 It is like telling them “you rich, you cool. No need of masks….We are anyway in debt, Perhaps even suffer from potential risk of spreading a disease”

6:38 This is Surfridge, there used to be an entire community of a few hundred houses here. When LAX lengthened the runways for jets in the 60s they bought everyone out for safety reasons and demolished all the houses but you can still see the roads.
@tech9803 Thanks for the info. I too was wondering what that large embankment/earth berm was right on the edge of the runway touching the beach. I thought those roads were walking trails of some park. Bet that is a high security perimeter with guarded look out towers.
I flew this LAX - DXB many times on EK - Economy... I still have no complaints... Just LOVE Emirates.... No flight will ever match the A380.... Gonna Miss Her so much.
Having been to that particular emirates lounge on several occasions(as a non emirates traveling passenger) I can make the following observations. The staff were all fabulous and super polite on every visit. The buffet food and dessert was wonderful and extremely tasty with many great options. The seating was nice and comfortable with lots of charging points. Drinks area is self serve whereas Qantas business lounge (LAX) has a full service order your choice of beverage bar. If I was a first class passenger on emirates you wound have to say the lounge was not going to give you a comparable experience. From all the business lounges I have visited the only thing it is lacking in is a proper bar.
Wow. What a great video. You are such a happy traveler. So refreshing. I love how cheerful and gracious you are with all the crew. I will definitely subscribe and look forward to future travels. Thanks!
Thanks. I actually reduced travel by 80% focus on my business and flying lessons. Hope with more easing of restrictions, I can share more report with audience here.
@@SamChui I understand the last 18 months has been disastrous for everyone, but always nice to see things slowly getting back to normal, and appreciate your vlogs👍
I love how international the crew is. Amazing 🤩 I use to work is service and you feel so special when I guess would give you some thing you really made her day!
That take off was rather tame compared to the ones I have been exposed to. Usually, take offs are quite brutal. The little you showed of it taking off looked exceedingly smooth.
Sam, you allways find the way to make us enjoy your flights with you instead of only envy your lucky work. Thanks for all the humanity sense you share.
Loved this! Brought back memories of my last first class flights on Emirates. Will be doing the same route LAX - DXB hopefully sometime next year and can't wait. Thanks Sam!
Turbofan Jet Engines with hundreds of thousands of pounds of thrust, that's how it flies. For my engineering degree I had to learn exactly how these things work and let me tell you it is unbelievable how powerful the engines on airplanes are.
In addition to the engines and the force of thrust there is the force of lift which is caused by the shape of the wings creating a high presure under the wing and a low pressure above the wing. the pressure goes from hight to low so this will cause the airplane to lift of the ground.
LAX is getting crazy crowded again! Love that walking tunnel to the new terminal. The Emirates lounge in LAX is much nicer than other lounges. First class service was excellent
Another great video Sam, more than anything though it was great to see the airport looking more like an airport again and less like an abandoned plane hangar. Hopefully ill be back flying again next year after cancelling out holiday twice already, London Gatwick to Mauritius with British Airways in Business Class, cant wait!
Flew Emirates from Melbourne to Manchester,UK in 2018 in economy on A380..fantastic service,if we ever get out of lockdown here,will definitely be booking Emirates again. Thank you Sam for giving us a great look at Emirates First Class..we can only dream haha.
Amazing to see that everything is getting back to normal! Very nice experience to travel in first class with such a plane!! I wish I could fly like you Sam soon!!
I just spent a chunk of my savings to experience Emirates A380 1st myself from london to Sydney and it was amazing. Nothing was underwhelming about the experience. The classy Chauffeur either side of the journey was just the icing on the cake and ensured absolutely no part of the entire journey was not relaxing. I probably drunk several hundred pounds worth of alcohol im sure! Door to door luxury with emirates and a life long bucket list ticked!
Wow, I’ve always loved airplane meals, I can have it bottomless if my carriers permitted. If I ever fly emirates first, you’ll know who cleaned out the kitchen!!
Ahhh, loved seeing the improvements made to my hometown airport, LAX! Much of the construction happening there is for the new train going into there which is exciting as it’ll connect to the Metro.
omg i still have some trauma from the one time i had to call an uber at lax... i'm so happy to hear there will be proper public transport access soon, that's awesome.
This was my last flight precovid last January on Emirates... took the exact same flight ✈️ and even saw the Northern lights on this flight... so nostalgic watching this 😊 thanks for sharing Sam.
15:47 The best part of this video ! Love from Bangladesh . Your all videos are calming and enjoyable . When are you going to fly on Biman Bangladesh airlines again . Sam is the best !!

@@KarimTVSOMALIA Wait guys, how to get Emirates to finance to fly first class? I definitely missed out! Don't assume I make a video because of that. It is for my audience and I will go on any airline that is of interest to make a vlog for my channel. Period Take this fact: Emirates don't pay for my flights. Period
I love the ending, cool montages with the best airlines songs. Never fail to give a goosebumps. I miss Emirates, I wish I could fly again with Emirates 🇲🇾
6:36 Whenever I look at take off of a plane it saddens me. As a kid I wanted to experience an aeroplane journey and used to dream of experiencing a take off. But I never sat on a plane until I was 24 years old. I just grew out of that dream. Though I enjoyed the take off I was disappointed the younger me couldn't enjoy that experience.

I love how international the crew is. Amazing 🤩 I use to work is service and you feel so special when I guess would give you some thing you really made her day!
What an experience, Sam. That flight is a 'dream'
That take off was rather tame compared to the ones I have been exposed to. Usually, take offs are quite brutal. The little you showed of it taking off looked exceedingly smooth.
Good to see luxury making its way back to the world!
DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sam’s content is just such good quality, it’s outstanding! Keep up the amazing videos!
really? its getting worse i think...
Sam, you allways find the way to make us enjoy your flights with you instead of only envy your lucky work. Thanks for all the humanity sense you share.
Loved this! Brought back memories of my last first class flights on Emirates. Will be doing the same route LAX - DXB hopefully sometime next year and can't wait. Thanks Sam!
He is always really lovely & respectful to the staff.
Nice to see Thando 5:34 - Proudly South African. Nice video Sam.
It's literally like being a king! Maybe once in my life I'll fly Emirates first class. Maybe... If I can afford it one day. Looks amazing!!!
It still amazes me how such heavy machinery gets off the ground. I still don’t want to know how it works. Hope to get on one of these one day!
Turbofan Jet Engines with hundreds of thousands of pounds of thrust, that's how it flies. For my engineering degree I had to learn exactly how these things work and let me tell you it is unbelievable how powerful the engines on airplanes are.
In addition to the engines and the force of thrust there is the force of lift which is caused by the shape of the wings creating a high presure under the wing and a low pressure above the wing. the pressure goes from hight to low so this will cause the airplane to lift of the ground.
The engines. U know what, the greatest invention is not the aircraft, it's the electric motor.
I just looked it up and it costs £10,000-16,000 for a return trip 😱 looks amazing but you'd expect it to be for that!
LAX is getting crazy crowded again! Love that walking tunnel to the new terminal. The Emirates lounge in LAX is much nicer than other lounges. First class service was excellent
Crew and pilots are always showing most respect for first class, but still, I like when you're doing trip reports Sam) Nice video!
I wish to be a frequent flyer so that crews will recognize me everytime just like Sam 😊😌
Another great video Sam, more than anything though it was great to see the airport looking more like an airport again and less like an abandoned plane hangar. Hopefully ill be back flying again next year after cancelling out holiday twice already, London Gatwick to Mauritius with British Airways in Business Class, cant wait!
It was splendid but without my family, i will always feel that some fun is missing!
You're so polite to everyone. You truly would be the best customer for anyone to attend to.
Flew Emirates from Melbourne to Manchester,UK in 2018 in economy on A380..fantastic service,if we ever get out of lockdown here,will definitely be booking Emirates again. Thank you Sam for giving us a great look at Emirates First Class..we can only dream haha.
Amazing to see that everything is getting back to normal! Very nice experience to travel in first class with such a plane!! I wish I could fly like you Sam soon!!
Normal? It looked like a goddamn flying hospital. What a disgrace.
Loved that funny little intro!
Thank you. Took our editor 2 days to make it!
I just spent a chunk of my savings to experience Emirates A380 1st myself from london to Sydney and it was amazing. Nothing was underwhelming about the experience. The classy Chauffeur either side of the journey was just the icing on the cake and ensured absolutely no part of the entire journey was not relaxing. I probably drunk several hundred pounds worth of alcohol im sure! Door to door luxury with emirates and a life long bucket list ticked!
Can i ask you what you pay for it?
Dang i dont think thats a wise spending lmao
@@salmonie depends on what you prioritize in life
Sheeeeesh, that is a crazy plane! Awesome staff so beautiful! Amazing video.
Sam you make wonderful videos!
It’s really good to see the A380 flying again… what an aircraft!
Definitely
@Elias Boudinot what about Remdisivir?
We all know that when Sam refers to "Home" he's talking about a first class flight.
Exactly
I didnt know 😂 i confused haha
Sam has been worked in Dubai for many years before.
Wow, I’ve always loved airplane meals, I can have it bottomless if my carriers permitted. If I ever fly emirates first, you’ll know who cleaned out the kitchen!!
I can only dream of flying first class. I only get to experience it by watching your amazing videos. Awesomeness!
Nicely made Mr. Chui. Loved it :)
Ahhh, loved seeing the improvements made to my hometown airport, LAX! Much of the construction happening there is for the new train going into there which is exciting as it’ll connect to the Metro.
Yes, can't wait to see when all the construction finishes. LAX has to live up among all the competitions.
@@SamChui agreed! Great video btw.
omg i still have some trauma from the one time i had to call an uber at lax... i'm so happy to hear there will be proper public transport access soon, that's awesome.
There's no denying it, the A380 is an iconic aircraft.
This was my last flight precovid last January on Emirates... took the exact same flight ✈️ and even saw the Northern lights on this flight... so nostalgic watching this 😊 thanks for sharing Sam.
Can I borrow $100
@@BannedPhotoshop me too
It's the best A380 review I've ever watchced!
Enjoyed that tripreport so much...best Emirates 1st class coverage so far. Loved the food...
Sam: make me a mock-tail
Bartender: yeah, true
😆
I didn’t hear him properly!! 🙄 🤣
15:47 The best part of this video ! Love from Bangladesh . Your all videos are calming and enjoyable .
When are you going to fly on Biman Bangladesh airlines again . Sam is the best !!
@@alanarimurti9322 hello bro
I love Bvlgari!!! Best perfumes :) The flight crew seemed awesome. I hate flying so I only fly on RUclips. LOL. Thanks for the flight!
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs
God bless you sam.. I see love in this video. ❤️
Answer is always yes!!! Emirates are just Epic 🏴👍🏻
I’m still trying to get enough money to fly on my first business class living the life cheers
He’s living life because he doesn’t pay fir this lol
I cooked lunch from home for an entire year and paid for my first business class trip I repeated this from 2010-13. Loved it 🥰
@@PilotDom777 Emirates is financing him to fly mostly especially with first class
Focus on points. Never pay for first class with cash
@@KarimTVSOMALIA Wait guys, how to get Emirates to finance to fly first class? I definitely missed out!
Don't assume I make a video because of that. It is for my audience and I will go on any airline that is of interest to make a vlog for my channel. Period
Take this fact: Emirates don't pay for my flights. Period
I love the ending, cool montages with the best airlines songs. Never fail to give a goosebumps. I miss Emirates, I wish I could fly again with Emirates 🇲🇾
6:36 Whenever I look at take off of a plane it saddens me. As a kid I wanted to experience an aeroplane journey and used to dream of experiencing a take off. But I never sat on a plane until I was 24 years old. I just grew out of that dream. Though I enjoyed the take off I was disappointed the younger me couldn't enjoy that experience.
Beautiful Video Sam. ❤ how did the cologne spray smell? Oh that steak 10:03 looked absolutely amazing bravo to the chef 👏
It's 5:28 in MD and I'm working,came across your video and really enjoyed it.Just subscribed to your channel.
