วีดีโอ

Last time I flew EK was in 2009. It's scary to think they still have business class seats on the 777 from that time still flying. And yes, EK and the A380 is truly an indulgent way to travel. QF points are so useful for jaunts like this. 😊

I enjoyed this review. Very well done and looked amazing. Thanks for taking us along with you. Look forward to the next video.

Emirates should use this aircraft to fly to Vancouver.

Great report, we are currently saving up to fly Emirates Business class from Brisbane to Manchester UK. Should get the full experience on a long haul flight. Can't wait.

Only Singapore has the security gate just before the flight, the most secure practice

After having a passenger reclining in my lap (almost), I swear only exit row seats for me despite its limitations (narrow, hunt for overhead space), it’s worth the extra just to have breathing room.

The breakfast looked good!

Luke your reviews are getting better and better everytime and your voice-overs are clear as and you have the perfect personality for this.

These local fifth freedoms are so much fun on Emirates, China Airlines, Qatar (sometimes) etc to NZ.

Great review 👍. I’m flying Emirates business class from LHR to DXB, departing 19:50. Will probably recline my seat, rather than a flat bed.

looked like top flight thanks for the vid was excellent

Fantastic review mate, great showing off the start of the trip in Adelaide with the flight to Sydney first as well as per the spectacular views coming in over the Southern Alps of NZ. Also stayed at that hotel a few years back due to a flight cancellation between Perth and Wellington leading to a necessary overnight stay in Sydney. Absolutely loved it - would be great for plane spotters!. What an experience on the A380 certainly the no brainer choice for using points compared to a QF 737 on the route! With such a short flight it would be hard to choose between time in the bar at at the magnificent seat haha!

Honest question would you prefer to fly an old Qantas 767 or Emirates A380 or even Latam's 787's to NZ. Nough said.

Hey Luke did you use Qantas points and how much!

Very detailed and honest report. Well done. Great audio too, easy to get wrong but you nailed that experience too. I’m glad you featured a little bit of Adelaide. The city doesn’t get as much attention since we don’t have that many international flights. Well done mate! Already look forward to the next one. 😊

Excellent report at every level. Well done to the EK staff for promoting their carrier in a nice professional way. Big tick to the growth of subscribers and I hope they pass and share your content around. Tip hook into NZ BLUFF oysters as long a son flours or some sauces that contain wheat etc natural they are the bomb beat even your coffin bay ones also thanks for the pricing Cheers bloke

Hey Luke how are you mate?What a nice flight you had with the A380.I am always amazed by the size of these magnificent planes since I flew on one of these a few years ago in business too.Business class in Emirates is preety comfortable and their service especially in long hauls is amazing.I can't remember how many times the crew came to my seat asking me if I needed something in the 14 hour flight I had.Greetings from Athens

I’ve always wanted to fly first class on the A380 Emirates 🇦🇪 the cheapest flight I could find in first class is the Bangkok to Hong Kong flight ✈️ for only $1500 return if you book well in advance. It’s only a 3 hour flight each way but worth doing it.

I would normally ride my motorcycle to take in the landscape but fly to get between the cities quickly

you should do more Hefei videos if possible ❤

Awesome ! Great presentation. I have been travelling with SQ from Adelaide thrice a year. No complaints.

Well done mate. Im doing the exact same flight soon.

First time watcher, good video. What app did you use to book the flight?

did you put your carry ons in the boverhead?

Great review Luke. We go to Japan every year (from Melbourne) and have always flown JAL economy which we could never fault. Next month we decided to treat ourselves to Premium Economy and are really looking forward to it. Cheers.

….speaking of other platforms

wow that flight looks cool. Did you check in a bag? Were they strict with the checked baggage weight. How would you rate the food and customer service from one to ten

Welcome to my hometown Hefei, Anhui.

My wife and I have flown this route with Qantas and found them to be excellent.. Food service and staff top notch

Jetstar economy from nz their planes are like old buses with wings cramped and uncomfortable no service unless you booked a coffee online rate it a minus 6 out of 10

My very first flight was on Emirates EK409 perhaps 10 - 12 years ago at the time as a fifth freedom flight from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur and I flown this route many times. That route flown by Emirates holds a lot of memories. Unfortunately, they ditched this route in 2016 after a partnership with Malaysia airlines and then the flight number flew from Melbourne to Dubai nonstop. Therefore, I would then fly on Emirates EK405 to Singapore and then connect onwards using Malaysia Airlines to Kuala Lumpur. EK405’s departure at 3am was roughly the same time EK409 departed to Kuala Lumpur back then and yes for most people it was a bloody and rough departure time but it holds a lot of memories of how I became an avgeek on EK409. Now, EK405 is ditched which is extremely frustrating but there has to be a reason why Emirates has done it and I really wish the airline the best on moving on after ditching this route.

Thank you for showing me Hefei, my partner living in Hefei now and i plan to visit. 🙏

Shanghai, the economic capital of China, welcomes international friends to visit.

Great video, Luke! Sorry your experience wasn't as good as you hoped. Fellow passengers can definitely be a major source of frustration, especially on longer flights. I agree about putting seat backs up during meals. With how tight pitch is on some aircraft these days, it's almost hard to get the tray table down with the seat in front of you fully reclined. I did enjoy the beautiful views of Western Australia, Looking forward to your next set of videos!

What a super all round review Luke. Will certainly be watching more of your videos.

Nice vid. May i know which HOTEL are you staying in Hanoi? Thanks ❤

Great review Luke. Pity the flight is going soon certainly a fun one to do with Qantas Points as you did too! Absolutely amazing making landfall into Australia over the Pilbara region! Unfortunately it was rather overcast the day I did but they were still some great views as we progressed a little deeper into the interior of the continent and pretty cool flying over Adelaide just before the descent into Melbourne. Sounds like some pretty inconsiderate passengers indeed though. Yes i agree i am not saying people shouldn’t recline as it’s a feature of the seat they pay for after all but common courtesy dictates when it should and shouldn’t be ok and proper etiquette when using it - meal time certainly isn’t one of them! As for the seat selection happening booked with Qantas i was re directed to Emirates website to make seperate payment for selection of a seat - couldn’t do it with Qantas itself. Interesting about the wifi i could barely seem to get it to work on my flight wasn;t interested in purchasing it but was keen to see what the ‘free content’ was like nonetheless but didn’t have much luck. Look forward to the next review!

Dude what a solid review, wish everyone reviewed like this.

我的家乡是六安 在合肥旁边🎉🎉

18K Seat to see Mt. Fuji up in the air, cool! Thanks for this helpful video 🤙

Gosh, such memories. I used to be such a regular on EK404. Prior to COVID, it was a red eye to Melbourne, and that horrible return to Singapore at a God forbid 3am. Pity they're axing this flight. Most ME airlines have an almost 100% expat employees because the locals are very wealthy and won't be seen dead in the service industry. Most of them don't even need to work.

Hi Luke You seeem to complain about people reclining their seat while you are eating, Well I'm sorry those guests are allowed to recline their seats!! Its not ideal but it happens!!

excellent video again keep them going

Great review mate I’ve just subscribed

I hate someone whose pillow kept falling onto my legs on a recent LAX-JFK flight. As annoying as a reclined seat during meal service! Sorry about your new neighbour 😭😭😭

Yesss reclined seats when eating is a Big No it's selfish and no consideration for otherwise cabin crew should tell people put your seat up it's annoys me when I have to ask crew can you please ask the passenger in front to put their seat up when eating

thank you Luke for the video. Do you know exactly when they will axe the route ? I plan to book first class with rewards in Sep/Oct 25. Would that be safe to book ? Cheers mate

On Of The Best Economy Class Product In The Skys My Opinion.Great Video And Info

Hey Luke hopefully you get to your goal flying first class with points, will there be more Qantas flight reviews soon
