This fall, I'll be flying business class for the first (and probably only) time in my life. I planned and saved for it, and can't wait to see what it's like!

    I once got the amazing opportunity to fly as an unaccompanied minor on Emirates flying in between Ireland and South Africa and emirates staff were kinda enough to let me move to first class on the flight! When I borded the flight I was economy class but soon after the staff came to me and asked me if I wanted a “cool seat” 14 year old me, with no hesitation said sure and they moved me to 1st class for the rest of the flight to dubai where I was taken to the kids lounge and had an amazing time there, 4 hours after my lay-over I got on another flight to South Africa (O.R Thambo) and once again I got on the flight and was asked if I wanted a better seat and I said “I don’t mind” the flight attendant smiled and took me to first class! This was amazing and Emirates is my favourite airline!! I know many other airlines probably would do the same but because this was my first time flying alone and they treated me so nicely and offered me nothing but the best was an absolute blast and I had so much fun on board!

    I had the best experience with flying emirates. In fact it was my first time flying ever. I had a huge huge fear of flying. I always told all my friend and family that I would never ever fly, I would rather die. But then I met someone from Indonesia and decided to face my fears (granted I did research how to get there by train, cruise ship, even freighter ships. But that was extremely costly)... For the flight I received xanax from my doctor so I would stay calm. At Brussels airport, I also asked for special assistance (I have a form of ASD, so I can get that) to guide me to the gate and let the crew know my fears and that it was my first time flying. I got to board the airplane first, and a flight attendant came to let me know what will happen (although I knew exactly what would happen and when since I am ironically extremely fascinated by airplanes). It is more the not having any control at all when flying that gives me fear. Thankfully the medication sedated me a lot so my fears mellowed away significantly. When we where in the air one of the flight attendant came to me to have a chat and check if I was doing okay. She then invited me to come to the galley in the back. There I had a chat with all the other flight attendants, they showed me where everything was and how they did their job. Afterwards, they took a Polaroid picture of me with the whole crew, signed by the whole crew. A huge thanks to the entire crew for putting me so at ease on that flight. It was highly appreciated, it helped more than you could ever imagine. Thank you Pasia, Mariana, Hassan, Liane and Mouhamed from flight Ek184 8 October 2019 BRU - DXB.

    Sam is 100% right. My long haul tips follow, I am not a frequent flyer btw. 1) Fly on an A380 for long haul. 2.) Pay extra for an aisle seat 3.) Avoid proximity to baby bassinet areas 4.) Select your seat very early, you might get lucky & not have anyone sitting in the middle seat. 5.) Bring an extra jersey in case it gets cold 6.) Choose a seat close but not too close to the toilets 7.) Try to get plenty of sleep before your flight. 8.) Bring your own headphones, they will be much better than what the airline provides. 9.) Don't book tight connecting flights or you will spend half the journey stressing out! 10.) Have some games, music, etc on a phone or tablet in case the IFE does not work. Maybe a book as well.

    Emirates, economy class feels like first class. even though the seats are smaller than first, the crew takes so much care of you and come to have a chat asking how you’re doing. i remember as a child i would walk around the plane excited to land and the crew would talk to me and my younger brother showing us around the plane and even got some extra snacks (my parents were asked of course). they brought us so many things to entertain us and never got bored. we even got a polaroid picture with the crew which i will never forget. i can’t wait for my upcoming trip back to lebanon in september ❤

I am sure Sam didn’t mean to offend anyone, he regularly doesn’t fly economy and just emphasized that he’s actually flying economy for once and not premium cabins. I am also sure his point of saying “how to SURVIVE economy” was to say that there is many joys of emirates economy and how to make economy more of a luxury for people as it already may be. I believe his main goal was to give tips on just how to make economy really enjoyable, He could’ve worded it a little better to not make it sound like he was saying economy in emirates is a “Difficult”way to travel but i am sure he didn’t mean to offend anyone.

    My tips sitting in the economy class is to walk around during mid flight. Sitting too long can cause blood clots in some people. It can also hurt your knees and cause other achy issues. Walk the aisles every few hours and stretch to get your blood flowing. Compression socks can also help prevent blood clots.

    How convenient.. I’m also going to travel with Emirates for the first time ever this summer! Gonna be on Economy with both A380 and 777-300ER :) i’ve done some long haul flights before and here are my other suggestions:
    - If sleeping is a priority, then try to adjust yourself to the timezone of your destination. You can do it at least 1 day before the flight or on the very day of departure. I personally do it on the day of a red-eye departure. I wake up much earlier than usual so that i can get sleepy quicker and then sleep onboard. This way time goes so quickly ! ;-)
    - Bring things on board like downloaded tv series / personal music choice / novels that you may haven’t had the time to read. While the IFE can be good and extensive, sometimes you just want to bring your own favorites.
    - Bring. A. Neck. Pillow. Invest in a good one because the difference between a good and terrible neck pillow means a lot when you’re not sleeping on your regular pillow.
    - Pamper yourself on board. If you have a cleaning routine, then try to do it on board. It’s good since the air on board dries your skin. So bring some moisturizer and sheet mask on board! It’ll comfort you.
    - Bring slippers. I like to assume that i get no amenity kit so i like to bring a cheap hotel slippers and change it on board. Your feet will thank you.
    - Go to the alley and try to strike a conversation with the crews. You can also do this to your stranger seatmate assuming that they’re not resting. Who knows how long the conversation can goes and what you’ll know? It’s always fun ;)
    - Bring your cable charger for your gadget. A dead phone or laptop is something that you don’t want to live with on a long-haul flight.
    - Bring a thin jacket or cardigan no matter what you’re wearing. It can get pretty chill on board.
    And that’s all. Can’t wait to try Emirates’ Economy in 2 months!

    Imagine. I've flown Emirates economy hundreds of times and survived without this video every single time. I've only just come across it. I've never even had as much as a scratch on Emirates! 😱

    Thank you for showing economy class and you should do it more often. Not everybody can afford to fly first or business class around the world.
    Keep up the good work

    Chui should have titled this video 'How to make the most of an economy trip' but the way he speaks indicates what his mind thinks of the rest of us who watch and support him.

      Jihyun Koo Well Sam is much richer so he has higher standards. If you were rich, you wouldn't fly economy either.

    I did UK to NZ with Emirates; most of it on A380 (economy of course) one leg on 777. The A380 was so, so comfy despite a full plane. Great service, room to stand at the front of the cabin, great entertainment system. Absolutely no complaints

    I had the whole 4-seat middle row to myself on a Finnair A340 from Helsinki to Hong Kong once. It was great stretching out and sleeping across all four seats.

  • @alohasanibel5995

    Hi Sam, you forgot to mention the most important (to me) while flying on Economy, the personal space !!! Emirates seats are wider AND much more space for tall persons legs. That's my main concern on long flights as I can only afford Economy Class haha
    I flew Emirates 4 times, in February : Paris-Dubai-Melbourne and Sydney-Dubai-Paris and the planes were full in Economy :( did very much appreciate the A380, very silent, the take off is sooooo smooth AND the personal space :)
    Did almost the same trip this year with Singapore Airlines....I prefer Emirates :)

      So I’m 6 feet tall and I’m a big guy . You feel the seats are wide enough and the leg room is good ? I was thinking of booking the extra leg room seat 68A with no seat in front but if the regular seats are good i can save some Money . Let me know .

    I was hopping to fly to Dubai to see my precious grandkids whom I didn't see for many years , then I had a nasty car accident , I had a very bad broken ankle , I need a 2nd surgery for it to be fixed , I don't think I can endure the long hours flight after that especially economy , but I enjoy all your flight videos , I fly with you virtually, love it big time .

    Whatever seats you have. Even in economy, always wear your smile before take-off and after landing, that will make you fly experience more fun and memorable😍😍
