This is flight 10 of 33 from my recent trip where I flew around the world. At the end of September through the beginning of October, I set out to fly around the Earth, and after 16 days, 13 airlines, 33 flights, and over 38,000 miles, I landed back in Kansas City, Missouri after visiting 13 different countries. Over the next 7 weeks I'll be posting these flights in order, so you too can take this incredible journey, exactly as I did! The flights will be posted every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday until all 33 flights are live! So, check back three times every week to take this incredible journey with me!

Glad you enjoyed it my friend! And that is one of the benefits of sitting over thew wing. In all honesty, I thought my seat was going to be farther back than it ended up being. I didn't intend to sit basically over the wing here which some people don't like. And I'll admit the views on this flight weren't great because my seat was farther forward than I thought ti was going to be. However, what sitting here does showcase well is the sounds and noises associated with the wing operating and the hydraulic system. So in that respect, that's actually a good thing for those of us who enjoy hearing those sounds. Anyway, thanks for watching my friend!
GUYS, THIS IS THE ONE FLIGHT WE HAVE WAITED FOR ALL YEAR, THE INFAMOUS EMIRATES A380 FLIGHT. MASHALLAH!!!!! May Allah grant you with more opportunities like this but in First class! *We can notice those nice ailerons keeping the plane good to land!*
Glad you enjoyed it my friend. You'll be happy to hear that Wednesday's upload is another full flight on an Emirates A380 😂. So you wait all this time and now you get two back to back haha.
Thanks my friend. In hindsight I would've sat a little farther back. The wing on the A380 is massive and it makes picking a seat difficult sometimes. I thought this seat was going to be well behind the wing and lo and behold I was still over the back edge haha.
Massive indeed, and so is its wing 😂. I thought I was going to be a good 4 to 5 rows behind the wing on this flight, but the wing is so big, I ended up right over the back edge 😂.
Glad you enjoyed it my friend. The A380's wing and how much it flexes always amazes me. Like the 787 is one thing. It flexes, and it flexes a lot... But it doesn't look heavy if that makes sense. When you're on the ground and it's just hanging by it's own weight the 787 wing just looks fine still. With the A380 it's like you can feel the wing and its immense weight. It just looks heavy, which then makes it look so cool when it's generating lift. Again, if that all makes sense 😂
True Fact : Because it was September 2024 , the day that guy filmed that flight video . The season there in christchurch new zealand is spring because the entire southern hemisphere is in spring from Sept 1 until Nov 30 . Dont follow the seasons on the gregorian calendar if your in the southern hemisphere as their only supposed to be used in the northern hemisphere
As always beautiful sharing adventure travel trip reports and I really appreciate and enjoy watching your lifestyle documentary adventure and millions thanks again my friend ! ..
Welcome to NZ! Really cool to see a video from down-under. The question is: did you make it over to Auckland? If not, try add that to your list for next time, along with a flight perhaps to Queenstown.
Well unfortunately I didn't get to do or see much in NZ on this trip. After arriving on this flight I only had like 4 hours before my next flight and... Well... I was detained by NZ customs and immigration for nearly 2 of those 4 hours because they thought I was lying when I told them I was an aviation enthusiast who runs a TH-cam channel and that's why I was only entering the country for 4 hours 😂. The first agent who... Questioned me would not believe me and said it was a "weird" story even when I went so far as to show her the picture of me with my Silver Play Button. She just could not fathom this is my job and thought I must be up to no good haha. Eventually a supervisor got involved, where I learned the first agent was in training still. And it was all cleared up quite quickly at that point. It's worth a good laugh now, but it used up most of my time in Christchurch and then my next flight was this same flight going back to Sydney. So I'll have to hit Auckland on my next trip. Hopefully I won't be detained again and I'll have more time next time haha.
Singapore is definitely one of the best. I also really love Tokyo Haneda. Beautiful international terminal with tons of shops and stores assessable to anyone before you go through security, just like Singapore.
I'm glad you enjoy them my friend. And yes, I do spend quite a lot keeping this channel alive... Which means I really do appreciate it when everyone watches, comments, likes, etc... The main way I am able to pay for all of this is the ad revenues from the videos, so if no one watched I wouldn't be able to keep doing it. So thank you for watching watching and for being a member of the community here!
Didn’t know Emirates operated the A380 on this route. Normally i would see a Boeing 777, but a A380 is strange. Also, Dubai is not included in the trip (emirates hub)?
It's somewhat deceiving because I didn't take the other leg from DXB-SYD, but this is a through flight. If this was a standalone flight it would be crazy to use an A380 on it. But it is flight is not a standalone flight. In both directions, this flight is an additional leg that Emirates uses to help fill the plane on its way to either Dubai or Christchurch, depending on which way you're flying it. EK412, as seen here, operates DXB-SYD-CHC. And EK413, that we'll take on Wednesday, operates CHC-SYD-DXB. Through flights in both directions. This allows Emirates to utilize an A380, thereby offering their top level of service, on a route that otherwise couldn't support an A380 by itself. And that route is the legs to and from Christchurch. See, Emirates already offers another nonstop DXB-SYD-DXB flight every day. Another A380 that doesn't add the extra leg to CHC on. But this flight does add the extra leg on. It allows Emirates to supplement their Christchurch service with additional passengers going to and from Sydney. So for example, let's take a look at this leg here. They want to offer A380 service to Christchurch, but they only have enough daily demand to fill half an A380. So, they send the plane to Sydney first. Then they fill those extra seats for 75% of the flight. It stops in Sydney, they unload the 50% of the plane going to Sydney, they then fill as many of the open seats as they can with passengers like me who are only doing the SYD-CHC leg, and then they continue on to Christchurch with a relatively full A380. Then, of course, just look at this example in reverse to see how it works for them going the other direction. This is actually a very clever way for Emirates to offer their A380 to a city that otherwise wouldn't be able to support it alone. So in that respect, this is actually a very good use for the plane. And from some other comments it would appear this did used to operate with a 777 instead but that was during Covid. Obviously loads are much better now, post Covid. Thanks for watching my friend!

It used to be operated by a 777-300ER. Then from 2016 or 2017 Emirates introduced the A380 to the route. A huge crowd turned out to watch the inaugural flight of the A380 land at Christchurch.
You can't display a flight with an A 380 better than Bryce does. People have to accept that this plane is one massive piece of aircraft. I am working on planes - real planes ! - every day. Airbus A 320/A 330 & 340. The A 380 is twice as big as a regular wide body jet. People have to think about this great piece of engineering. So big and heavy ( maximum take off weight 495 tons ) it needs big and wide wings. Otherwise you can't get that baby up in the air. He filmed that in the best possible way. It's kinda boring to fly with an A 380. You don't feel any kind of typical aircraft noises or movements. Even not when they set down for landing. You only hear that hydrolic pump pushing the slats and the flaps down. So stop complaining about the unspectular filming here. Flying in an A 380 isn't spectacular. It's flying like in a small castle with wings mounted on. Ok ? 👍👍👍
Something worth mentioning that people often don't realize is how small the windows are on the A380. They are tiny and because the fuselage is so wide, instead of being a couple inches between the structural window and the inner plastic window, there's more like 8 inches between the two. Because the window is so small and there is so much space between the two layers it actually makes filming on the A380 more challenging than any other aircraft. Not only does that extra space allow for more glaring and reflection, but it also makes it super difficult to film the wing without showing any of the window frame. You can even see some of the window frame in this video and that's with basically filming straight out over the wing. The farther behind the wing, or the farther in front of the wing you get, the worse that becomes because you have to angle the camera to get the wing in frame. So, as I mentioned in a couple other comments that I know you've already seen, but in case someone else hasn't, I actually intended to be slightly farther back and honestly I'm not sure if it was a configuration change from what I booked or if it was just me miscalculating... Either way, if I were to move 5 rows farther back, there'd then be even more of the window frame in the shot so when it comes to the A380 it's kind of a catch 22. Pick your poison... Do you want the massive wing to obstruct the view, or the window frame 😂. Thanks for watching and for that extra explanation my friend.
@@sla31 on the A380 a window seat in business or first means natural light but not views as the window is miles from your seat and like looking down a tunnel lol

@jenikaybee8979 I don't know the exact load obviously, but just from looking in the cabin it was pretty full on both this and the return leg back to Sydney. The seat next to me was full on both flights and there were just a handful of seats I could see that were empty.
Well, if this flight was a standalone flight I'd agree. Especially with the other airlines that also offer this route, flying an A380 would certainly be overkill and you'd never fill the plane. But this flight is not a standalone flight.

I usually enjoy your content but this one was absolutely boring. Two hours plus of seeing nothing but an A380 wing. After a few minutes I quit watching.
Sometimes things don’t work out. The A380’s wing is massive and Emirates has multiple different A380 configurations. When I selected this seat, based on the configuration I thought was going to be used, I believed the seat was going to be farther back, well behind the back of the wing. Unfortunately, sometimes the plane is swapped for a different configuration, or my research ahead of time is just wrong. This was one of those times. I intended to be a good 5 or 6 rows behind the back of the wing. Sometimes that’s what happens. Sorry you didn’t like this one my friend.
@tomk8663 well the good news for you is that I took this flight as a round trip and on the way back I was sitting in front of wing/engines. Which led to a significant less obstructed view even though I was still closer to wing than I expected to be 😂. That leg posts on Wednesday.

I honestly don't know. Every time I've looked at it, it's been an A380. Perhaps as @Tenafly23451 said, maybe it was a Covid thing when it was the 777.

So, as I mentioned in a couple other comments that I know you've already seen, but in case someone else hasn't, I actually intended to be slightly farther back and honestly I'm not sure if it was a configuration change from what I booked or if it was just me miscalculating... Either way, if I were to move 5 rows farther back, there'd then be even more of the window frame in the shot so when it comes to the A380 it's kind of a catch 22. Pick your poison... Do you want the massive wing to obstruct the view, or the window frame 😂. Thanks for watching and for that extra explanation my friend.
@@sla31 on the A380 a window seat in business or first means natural light but not views as the window is miles from your seat and like looking down a tunnel lol
nice video
This is a short route to be using an A380 lol
It is a short route for an A380, but Emirates does it for a good reason. It would be especially crazy if it were a standalone flight. But this flight is not a standalone flight. In both directions, this flight is an additional leg that Emirates uses to help fill the plane on its way to either Dubai or Christchurch, depending on which way you're flying it. EK412, as seen here, operates DXB-SYD-CHC. And EK413, that we'll take on Wednesday, operates CHC-SYD-DXB. Through flights in both directions. This allows Emirates to utilize an A380, thereby offering their top level of service, on a route that otherwise couldn't support an A380 by itself. And that route is the legs to and from Christchurch. See, Emirates already offers another nonstop DXB-SYD-DXB flight every day. Another A380 that doesn't add the extra leg to CHC on. But this flight does add the extra leg on. It allows Emirates to supplement their Christchurch service with additional passengers going to and from Sydney. So for example, let's take a look at this leg here. They want to offer A380 service to Christchurch, but they only have enough daily demand to fill half an A380. So, they send the plane to Sydney first. Then they fill those extra seats for 75% of the flight. It stops in Sydney, they unload the 50% of the plane going to Sydney, they then fill as many of the open seats as they can with passengers like me who are only doing the SYD-CHC leg, and then they continue on to Christchurch with a relatively full A380. Then, of course, just look at this example in reverse to see how it works for them going the other direction. This is actually a very clever way for Emirates to offer their A380 to a city that otherwise wouldn't be able to support it alone. So in that respect, this is actually a very good use for the plane. Thanks for watching my friend!
I was thinking the same thing. I wonder how many passengers were on board…
@jenikaybee8979 I don't know the exact load obviously, but just from looking in the cabin it was pretty full on both this and the return leg back to Sydney. The seat next to me was full on both flights and there were just a handful of seats I could see that were empty.
It's a layover flight.
👍

Crosswind productions when are you going to take Ryanair?
Funny...seat 71 and you're not even behind the wing yet!
Kinda of a waste of a big plane for a short 2.5 hour flight.
Well, if this flight was a standalone flight I'd agree. Especially with the other airlines that also offer this route, flying an A380 would certainly be overkill and you'd never fill the plane. But this flight is not a standalone flight. In both directions, this flight is an additional leg that Emirates uses to help fill the plane on its way to either Dubai or Christchurch, depending on which way you're flying it.

Expert ey ? 🙄
I'm not an expert. When I submitted my comment, I thought it was a standalone flight, not a continuation flight @nikolauswolff5791
I usually enjoy your content but this one was absolutely boring. Two hours plus of seeing nothing but an A380 wing. After a few minutes I quit watching.
Sometimes things don’t work out. The A380’s wing is massive and Emirates has multiple different A380 configurations. When I selected this seat, based on the configuration I thought was going to be used, I believed the seat was going to be farther back, well behind the back of the wing. Unfortunately, sometimes the plane is swapped for a different configuration, or my research ahead of time is just wrong. This was one of those times. I intended to be a good 5 or 6 rows behind the back of the wing. Sometimes that’s what happens. Sorry you didn’t like this one my friend.
Thanks for responding. I can see how that can happen, especially with an aircraft like the A380. Oh well, maybe next time you'll get a better seat.
@tomk8663 well the good news for you is that I took this flight as a round trip and on the way back I was sitting in front of wing/engines. Which led to a significant less obstructed view even though I was still closer to wing than I expected to be 😂. That leg posts on Wednesday.
Dude wtf are you going to see 35k feet in the air, of course you're gonna see nothing especially cause it's the flatlands of Australia
