- Let’s fly on one of the longest flights in the world in Economy Class and let’s do it great.
And what is greater than Emirates and their A380?!
Welcome to another video and thank you for joining!
I’m continuing on Part 1 of my journey on Emirates from Bangalore and onwards to San Francisco.
It is a very popular route and was highly requested, so here it is!
In this video I’ll share some of my tips and tricks that help me greatly on long haul travel.
The most important of all is the seat! I am traveling on one of the 2 best seats on the EK A380: 68 A and K.
These have by far the best legroom, privacy and a window. While there are plenty of more emergency exit seats, I’ll show you why this one is my favorite.
It is however a slightly different video as usual, with less inside footage as the flight was overbooked and there was always someone in the frame. Nobody wants to sit for over 15 hours!
Find below part 1 of this video:
• Emirates A380 from Ind...

To: San Francisco International Airport, California, The United States of America
Flight Number: EK 225

Reminds me of some very old times, when the flight from Tehran to New York was the longest flight in the world. Flown by a 747SP, hope to see such flights once again in my lifetime
That was a legendary flight! I wish I had taken that at some point.
I also hope they’ll return, but I guess it’s B787’s for now 😞
Are iou an Maldivian? It's me Yumaan a friendly boy
Would just like to say that this is the only channel I watch flight reports on. Your capturing of a trip is unique and by far the best quality, eagerly waiting for your next flight!
Thanks a lot for the nice comment, I really appreciate it!
I like to show the world through my eyes and I’m glad there are others just like me out there.
Regards from Dubai!
Another outstanding flight report mate. The level of detail and attention you put in to these is completely unmatched by anyone else in my opinion. Really good stuff mate and I have no doubt that your channels subscribers will grow to more accurately reflect the quality of your content.
Cheers
I love the Emirates boarding-music, I have it as my ringtone 🙂
I like it a lot too. Unfortunately the song just plays 30 seconds of it during boarding and disembarkation. It used to be much longer 😞
@@TheLayoverAviation I have the long version (10 mins) in mp3 format
I have been on EK225 around 10 times!! Really appreciate the effort you put into your videos man!
10 times, wow!! I think myself around 5 perhaps.
But very brave of you, well done! And thanks for the comment!
Fantastic!
1) Liked the addition of background music.
2) The minute details you share are good to know.
3) The view from the seating was amazing, the beautiful long wing of the aircraft & those flaps moving, super!!
Keep it going! Your vlogs are unmatched.
Wow, thanks a lot Ahmed! My best memories since a child always were in planes. And all the things I paid attention to then are the same as today. When I film I try to show as much as I can through my perspective. Glad you like it!
Thanks again and stay tuned for more! 😃
I was on a very similar flight on the Emirates a380. Dubai to Toronto in economy class, approximately 14 hours! Despite the horrific duration, Emirates was able to present such a memorable experience.
Very glad you had a good experience Rafay.
I understood that SFO and YYZ are the two busiest routes to North America. I felt sorry for the crew at one point.
I hope you get to fly them again soon!
LAX is also busy as well.

Excellent! Perhaps the best flight video I have seen. Nothing was left out. As a plane watcher all my life, identifying all of the other aircraft was a major plus to this video. Not that it needed it. The photography was superb. The personal comments were fantastic. Anyone who views this will surely want to fly on the Emirates A-380. It is a fact that Emirates has the best in-flight entertainment system of any airline in all the world. Thank God this aircraft is still being used by Emirates. And in a most spectacular way. People still alive today who flew on airlines in the 1950s and 60s could never have imagined commercial air travel could come to this. Well done.
Been travelling emirates all the time , And the A380 is one of the most comfortable planes without any jet lag .👌
How could an aircraft like this phased out so quickly! Amazing machine.
Only one airline managed to make the experience so good that people are willing to pay more for it.. But I’m sure that what’s to come in the future will be even better!
@@TheLayoverAviation Seems as if the a380 is making a surprise comeback this year as the world comes out of pandemic mode and travel starts to increase!
Amazed by your video quality yet again, it will never stop me from being shocked by watching your videos. Your flight report videos are the best I or any other aviation geek can find. I watch your videos everyday at night. Keep up the good work mate and don't forget to visit India once in a while, it's very good to see you enjoy and love our food. Thanks for such videos ❤️❤️👍👏
Great video. 10 mins in and could tell how extremely underrated this channel is!
Just watching this video feels like a soothing and relaxing experience. I wonder what flying in an A380 for 15 hours would be like. Marvelous or even beyond my imagination!!!! Enjoyed every second of the video. Keep it up 😍😇
As a die hard avGeek, I love watching your all videos. And I watch it until end, I never forward them as they are quite fun to see. Keep doing this amazing work.👍
What a nice thing for you to say, thank you! Always nice to meet some die hard avgeeks.
Thanks for your support and keep enjoying!
Incredible review, it’s what the average long haul flyer and av geek needs is a honest economy class review. You have really sold the emirates experience to me!
A380 is the best and Emirates service is top notch. Great video.
I always end up missing the A380 when I’m in some plane I don’t enjoy…
How come I missed your videos 😭😭😭, seeing after one month now. Wow you have upgraded to next level😍😍😍
Ha ha! Thanks. No upgrade, just Emirates making my videos easy 😛
Welcome back!
Crazy how i just Flew Emirates 380 from Dubai to Manchester 5 days ago. And I'm still sat here watching this whole travel log again like someone who hasnt been on the A380 before. Your trip reports are My favourite by far and I'm sad I've seen all your emirates a380 ones 🤣. Eagerly waiting for the return flight now 👀
I hope you had a nice flight! Flying is such a beautiful thing..
The return flight will come out soon, but next is another Emirates A380 video, in First 😃
Thanks for the lovely comment and I hope to catch you around on some A380!
Flying over the North Pole is unreal! Must've been a great experience
it is indeed! I just wish I had a better view, but what to do..
My favourite video of yours, I don’t know why. But keep up the good work!
Forget the original point of the A380 being a hub to hub plane, this beast is surely the size that most long haul planes are going to need to be in the future. Sure, if you could re-engineer the airframe to be lighter or more aerodynamic you could progressively reduce cost. But for sheer transportational power, the A380 is superb. Until next gen engines come on line, any machine looking to get close to a quad jet isn't going to cut it.
Nice video. Food looked amazing - as always on Emirates. Your flight took the Santa Claus route🎅🏻 Miss the SFO approach, which is always amazing. Cheers!
I missed many views outside unfortunately but the seat was worth it!
Didn’t see Santa tough 😞
Thank you. I love travel / flight update videos, but you have taken this to another level. So many information on flights, on the way, anything and everything that appears on the screen you explained. GOD bless you. Bonus for me is you chose indian food.
I’ve done this sector and 16.5 hours DXB-LAX sector. In economy. And on A380 with extra legroom seats, it was not that bad.
Not that bad at all indeed! And yes, it can get up to a good 16 hours in the winter timings. I’m glad I didn’t have that much headwind this time😵💫
What a really epic video mate! Liked!
Jelmer, thanks!
Fantastic video! Very refreshing to see bloggers who are as informed as you about planes. Hope you had a nice time in San Francisco! Hope to see more great content in the future.
Thanks a lot for the nice comment! San Fran is always great, thank you. Much more coming, of course!
9:40 PM Minneapolis,Mn time. I have recently discovered your flight reviews and enjoy every minute! Many years ago I flew round trip from Mpls to Beijing, Business Class. It was a memorable flight. Your videos have shown me how far air travel has come since then. I enjoy your brief tours through various terminals, mouth watering food reviews, and flight control information. I will look forward to each of your new posts. Happy flying!
I also live in MSP. I wanna live in a city where Emirates flies into. To avoid extra $300-600 and spending 6-7 hours waiting for a domestic flight. I only fly Emirates internationally. I’ll fly United, American, and or JetBlue for domestic. NEVER fly Delta. They always lose my bags.
Super amazing video. As an Indian myself, I'm so happy you love our cuisine. Especially south Indian cuisine. I don't even like sambar and idli that much so to see you like it is so great! ❤
I’m crazy about the Indian food!
When I used to live in Barcelona, Spain 15 years ago, there was no real Indian restaurant yet. So I even flew sometimes to a place in Spain (Mallorca) where there was.
More coming!
Your videos are so aesthetically pleasing! Thank you for excellent trip reports. These are helpful. 😊
Always a pleasure, thanks for leaving a comment! Keep enjoying ✈️
I just love this. I have watched many such flight reports but yours is outstanding. I love your work. Congratulations. One day, I will have such experience
Thanks a lot Peter, very nice words! One learns something new each day. I know I do!
Keep enjoying and hope to meet you in the skies ✈️
Emirates at it's best! Splendid video Alex. Loving the videos you post every time😊
Enjoy your time in San Francisco 😁
Thanks a lot Hansin! What a nice comment.
I was in San Fran a couple of weeks ago, it was a brief busy work trip. I’m in Dubai again.
But thanks a lot!
De verdad, increíble de principio a fin. Me encantan tus vídeos! 🤩
Gracias amigo! Me alegro mucho. Espero poder visitar Chile pronto!
Your story telling and AV geek snippets is next level ❤
Thanks buddy! I carry aviation in the blood 😜
@@TheLayoverAviation 😂👌❤️
Excellent. Love all the details that you added. Appreciate the effort and applaud the video !
Thanks a lot Vik! Lovely comment. Very glad you enjoyed!
fabulous video with lots of information i m flying in Emirates since 2007 with all the aircrafts b 777 200 300 A 380 to all the destinations in the world enjoyed so much with Emirates , just swiched to SQ for some reasons like better service and other deals once again cool video buddy .
That’s a long history with Emirates!
And yes, SQ was amongst the top but it’s really declining for me too.. I flew with it a few times in May and it wan’t great at all.. I’ll publish it soon.
Everytime i watch your new videos i learned something new! So cool! Thank you for your effort!
That’s the whole point! Whatever I learned I share with all of you.
Glad seeing you here again!
Pristine presentation. Appreciate how you acknowledged about people working and harsh weather, while some enjoy comfort.
We all have to appreciate everyone who work hard to make our experience, specially those behind the scenes 😊
Great review! That is a long flight, props to the flight crew. Emirates as always pulls on top! Thanks for the review :) Hope you are doing well after that flight
Yes, I’m doing very well after the flight, thanks for asking! But I have to say that I was happy to smell fresh air after landing 😀
And yes, props to the crew for these long days of work!
One of the best flight journey videos ⭐️
Great video!! I’ll be traveling next month (June ‘24) to SFO from Delhi via Dubai in the same flight EK225👍🏻
Looks amazing!
The best airline in the world (for me)
I kind of agree… My last 2 flights on SQ sucked and QR is so inconsistent.
This month I’ll make a comparative between QR, SQ and EK. Stay tuned!
Absolutely love your content. Much love from South Africa!
Thanks a lot, love back from the UAE!
Fantastic video!! 🇪🇸👏🇪🇸👏🇪🇸
Gracias amigo!
I was on A6-EVC to/from SFO (flew to India) along with my mom. My dad got the same while going but A6-EVM on the way back. The food was the same this time around and was very filling. My plane had the Rolls Royce engines last 3 trips; in 2014 when I flew an A380 for the first time it had the GP engines
Nice video with description 👌
Reviewed my A380 memories.. Its been long time since I have traveled in it.
Yes!! Been waiting for this!
Here you go dear Abdur!
I'm really a big fan of your videos sir. Especially all the Videos on Emirates that you've made 😍😍❤
Thanks a lot Sahil, glad you enjoy it! You made my day, have a lovely one!
Hi - I am totally impressed - I am a big aviation freak - But not capable of flying frequently, I love to watch many videos - but this is awesome - Happy for you - and Good Luck for your future videos - Lots of Love from INDIA
Hey there, this is your home then! I hope you get to fly a lot yourself soon.
I had many dreams as a kid and glad that I am able to fulfill it now as an adult. Never give up, it’s all possible!
@@TheLayoverAviation Thank You So Much - Keep Rocking - Next time when you come to Bangalore, Do let me know - Will take one photograph with you
Exit door seat..always a treat...watching the video.....thnks again..best wishes
Not only an exit seat, the best exit seat!!
It was a great video!
Soon flying the same route!!!
Have a great one and choose the seat wisely!
Thanks for writing.
@@TheLayoverAviation yeah buddy 👍🏻
Was waiting for this video, excellent work, actually I'm also going to travel with EK in August from AMD - DXB - YYZ , and i also has booked seat no 68A on their A380 on DXB - YYZ leg, very excited. Now i have idea what is like to travel in such seat.
It’s by far the best seat on such a long flight. You won’t regret it. Have a lovely flight and thanks for watching!
love your music and subtitles!
Thanks Gregory, glad you liked it!!
You definitely eat the Indian food like idli correctly my friend. I love dunking them in Sambar, the only way I eat it. Great job as always, love watching your content.
I’m glad I did it correctly 😊 Indian food is delicious, definitely in my top 5 favorite cuisines in the world.
Thanks for writing!!
Can't wait to travel, Your videos are like inspiration to me to work harder and travel more
Love your comment Arjun. It’s good to see life that way. The harder you work now towards to a goal you set yourself, the earlier you’ll get there. And not only will you get there, you’ll even get further. But with dedication and passion everything is possible!
Happy flights Arjun!
(pd. About your name, do you know Arjun Rampal? I met him on an EK A380 lounge once 😊 )
Lovely Video, really enjoyed it.
Very happy to hear!! thanks for watching 😊
Great video and information…. I am your biggest supporter and fan as i like aviation details and your videos are just fabulous… Appreciate your hard work and keep it up 👍 😊
Thanks for the lovely words. Keep enjoying then, I do my best not to disappoint!
one of the best aviation channels. keep it up
Thanks a lot Muhammad!!!
So enjoyed your video-even after many years of flying I learn something new in your videos. I have never flown Emirates but I am impressed .=-the food looked delicious and I loved the feature of learning snippets of a new language in the IFE. The A380 is indeed very impressive. Look forward to many more of your videos. Safe Travels.
It's like you got premium economy for economy price. I think. It looks like a really nice flight. Thanks for the video and I hope you have a nice day.
That is true! But now Emirates flies Premium Economy to SFO, I should have waited a month 😔
I hope to show it to you all soon. Have a nice one too!
really liked the info you shared throughout... great video!
My pleasure! A big thanks to you for watching 😊
Awsome Covergae.. with required and interesting details loved it ❤
Thanks for the nice words Muhammad!
In a way a fantastic economy class like this is better than Business class because you’re not worrying about if you got value for money - you’re just delighted by all the features!
Well, I would never say no to Business Class if provided by my employer of if there is a good offer.
On this particular flight there was an upgrade available for $1800, but I was very happy with having one of the two best seats in economy so I staid!
But yes, economy is great value for money regardless.
Great trip report, cheers.
Thanks buddy!
Seguimos esperando ese viaje en primera clase
Tengo varios grabados, y el 27/04 lo vuelo otra vez, pero tengo un backlog enorme! También he de mezclar aerolíneas.
Creo que en Mayo habrán dos videos en Primera :)
@@TheLayoverAviation execelente
Great flight report. The food on Emirates always amazes me, the choice and quality always seems top notch. Nice to see some flap action 😎Am looking forward to some business/first class footage soon. Cheers 🥂🥃
Great Video Alex!
dam, that A380 Is a Massive Beast!
i wish someday i could fly with it :D
I cant wait for the next video!
I was on EK 380A from Amsterdam to Dubai….enjoyed thoroughly.😊
Fantastic video. The only thing that could top this would be a third full hot meal instead of the hot snack in this 16 hours flight.
No way! I didn’t even touch that pizza as I was still full. You don’t really move a lot on these flights so you don’t burn many calories, so the food stays there longer. I was completely full and I strongly believe a 3rd hot meal would be a waste!
@@TheLayoverAviation I guess I am a pig. As a fellow airline enthusiast and traveller, I really enjoyed your video. It's very informative too. BTW I have no idea how pilots know where they are going. It's a dumb thing to say I know. But I'm dumn when it comes to this.
Superb .. Loved the video .
glad you did, thanks for watching!
A Fligth For 15 Houers In Economy Is Hard Work,The Longes I have Is From London To Singapore Whit Qantas in Economy That Was 13 Hoirs.Great Trip Report
Ur vedios are always marvelous &am glad to see tht ur channel is growing
Thanks a lot! Nice words. And thanks for being part of it.
U welcome dear enjoy time in sanfransico
Once again Great video love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Your channel is underrated bro... may you get a lot of following in TH-cam soon...
I’m already happy as is but thanks a lot! It’s quite new and growing fast though. Thanks for watching 😊
Awesome trip report ! Thank you !
A thanks to you for watching!
Very interesting and informative! I’ve flown the same route.. the food wasn’t particularly good. Overall still a great exp.
Thanks, glad you found so! I guess the food depends on the month and flight.. Mine was good this time.
Hope it’s better for you next time!
Wow The flight is so amazing and the food is excellent in Emirates A380 flight from Dubai to San Francisco ❤❤❤😊😊😊❤❤❤🇦🇪🇺🇸
Thank you, i loved it ❤
thanks Annika! Very glad you did!
Thank you for this outstanding video, the details and information are great! I'm now saving up for a trip from LAX California to DXB Dubai. It's my dream to make the trip. I want to be seated as you are because I have long legs, and I use a mobility chair. I've been told that Emirates will allow me to take my mobility chair, and they will assist me from the door of the aircraft to my seat. I can still walk but distance is limited, so it won't be difficult getting to my seat. I'm looking forward to the day that I board the A380 - 800. again I thank you for this outstanding video. I've subscribed to your channel and will be watching you. God bless, and and safe travels always.... Roger S
That wing is a beast.....
Totally insane. I had the chance to walk under it in the Dubai Airshow and its even crazier below..
Hola Alex! Muy bien otravez! Team of viewing this channel, dont you agree that The Layover is the best?? Alex, you are surpassing ANY other avGeed reporter as you cover every aspect always with so much details and including all details from flight details, inflight and spending just enough time from pre flight to post flight. Although my heart lies with KLM being ex pilot I have to admit I mostly fly Emirates with Gold Status. You just cannot beat it in every aspect, detail and service! Coming to DXB next month, guess what, flying from AKL to DXB 16 hrs upper deck on Emirates! Cannot wait. Gracias Alex! Tot spoedig maar wellicht niet in DXB?! Zou leuk zijn...
Gracias Flip! Thanks a lot for the lovely comments. You made my day! I flew EK First the other day and thought about you. I was wondering about all that I would do on a flight from Auckland. I just had the time of my life on board. Completely the contrary as on QR First where I couldn’t wait to leave. (video on this coming soon).
I’m this week busy visiting the Arabian Travel Market so the next video is delayed but I’ll try to publish Emirates First for you soon!
And as you’re Skywards Gold, I would not mind spending those miles on First Class on your trip!
Have a great one ✈️ ❤️
Stuur een e-mail naar thelayoverfoodies@gmail.com en laat maar weten wanneer je langs komt!
I love the flight EK226 sfo to dxb. Great video.
Thanks Yasmin!
That flight is nice but I mostly sleep on it.
@@TheLayoverAviation that’s me on EK225:( sleeping through it!
Very nice! I enjoyed your video of your trip
Thanks, very happy you did! Thanks for letting me know 😀
Verry detailed and good video bro il be flying at the end of the month on this beast from Amsterdam to Bangkok with a lay-over in Dubai .
I would love to fly on a 15 hour flight in Business class. That’s my next goal and target. I hate economy seats. I think I’m gonna pay $160 for that seat you’re in. I would rather have the entire row to myself so I can stretch out.
As long as you set yourself a goal and target it’s all doable one day!
I also actually prefer an entire row in Economy rather than paying thousands for Business Class, but that’s very rare nowadays..
Thank you for the report trip. A380 is incredible. My longest travel was with a bus yes a bus 🚌 from Türkiye to France in 4 days it was around 50 hours. No IFE no food no confortable seat . So 15hours in this economy class with Emirates for me look like luxury. With car is very good I did this from France to Türkiye, plane It's just 3hours but bus ... Never again.
I'm waiting the next video with Qatar airways.
In Latvia they have long distance buses that travel in 24 hours to Paris or 20 hrs. to Berlin for around 100 euros. This is more expensive than flying on a budget carrier. People told me they take the bus to be able to carry more baggage.
@@peterrisbergs7156 yes this is why I took the buse because I had lot of baggage with me. But today I'm happy I find a low cost airlines Sun Express it's a company from Lufthansa and Turkish airlines I can have 30 KG of luggage. I did İzmir Brussels in direct flight for 120 euros. If I took Turkish airlines I should have done this İzmir İstanbul İstanbul Brussels and more expensive for 20 KG.
With car and plane is ok for me but buse omg it's very difficult.
I was on EK225 returning to sf on May 1st. Maybe close to the day you filmed this.
It was somewhere in April.. I take some time to edit the video’s so it comes out later..
I hope you enjoyed your flight!
Every time beautiful video s 😊😊
Thanks for this ❤
Thanks Enrico! Always a pleasure. I owe a thanks to you for watching.
13:55 ouch .. that poor magazine holder pocket - stretched to da MAX! 😮😮
I love the window seat plz do a review on a different Airline but the same window seat
I have been on this flight 4 times. It wasn’t bed at all. Twice on the same route with air France
That is a lot of time in the air! I hope you enjoyed it and get to fly it agains soon 😊
i just love ur videos and how u explain everything so clearly while giving so much info!
so much hard work! u even edit while on a flight.
im a 12 yr old boy living in abu dhabi and wish to be a pilot when i grow up. watching videos like these make me so happy!
Alex, Indeed it was a foody flight , surprisingly from my vision most of the passengers were Indian😂. Ending Albeit 🤭. I would surely recommend you to travel in Air India on their new route from BLR-SFO apart from that it's interior is from Ex-Delta and IFE is also better than the regular 777 they're having.
Awwww! Indian food just tastes better in the air but one thing more for your perception my buddy! Pakistani cuisines are "in the air". Bottoms up!
Emirates is the best-forget the rest✈👍
It incredible but there are many other great ones out there!
Amazing Emirates Flight👌
It was indeed :)
i look from bangldesh i big fan bro i lobe dubai my dream dubai
Hello there! I hope to be able to visit your country soon! 😃
A very detailed video. Can you please do a video on a longhaul flight on Egyptair
That's a lotta good food in the economy rice meals still the best, me, being a Filipino 🍚😁🤤 you could hv shown more features of the economy seat. Good vid
I’ve flown Emirates so many times that I keep forgetting what I filmed or not. And yes, rice is the best! I prefer it too and I’m not Filipino 😃
Thanks for watching Rosario!
Great video as always. 15h i wont do. Get very restless. Always take the "same" seat on Qatar. Upper deck 30K by exit emerg. Because want to strech my legs often. Cheers! 🙏
I also am not a fan of +10 hours direct and rather stop somewhere, unless in Business/First. But I really wanted to take this flight to show it to you all, and back on the same seat but on QR!
It actually made a difference to sit there.
I bought a "remove before flight" key ring tag from that shop about 7 years ago and it's still going strong although a little dirty.
I’ve got one that is like 16 years old and still going strong!!!
