Thanks for the upload. As a younger black man videos like this inspire me to continue to travel business & 1st & work hard. I'll recommend your channel to other younger men
@Pointed Travel There are many young men of color who are well to do in the 🇺🇸. We can afford stuff like this, but it is very important for young men to know if we see it we can be it. Thanks again
Thanks for a great video! Planning a special occasion trip and have been debating booking a 25 hour trip (1 connection) on the A380 in first. I’m concerned, having flown other first and business class products (particularly Etihad Apartments and Qatar QSuite), that Emirate first looks more cramped. Having flown it, did you get that feeling? Hard to tell in all the videos.
I haven’t personally flown Etihad’s Apartment or Qatar’s QSuite, but Apartment is much larger based upon other reviews. I’d say Emirates First falls between Apartments and QSuites. I went with Emirates over Etihad and Qatar mostly because Etihad retired the A380 and I wanted to try the shower and bar. I had an amazing time in Emirates’ F on the A380 and having done it once, for the points efficiency, I’d choose QSuites going forward. But if you’re worried about feeling cramped in the A380 or B777 F on EK, don’t worry. There’s plenty of space, the bed is large, and there’s space to stand up and move around a bit even with the door closed. If you can find the new EK F suite available, take that flight every time you see it.
@@pointedtravel Thanks for the info! If you have an opportunity to try the QSuite, I highly recommend it. The partition can be completely removed on the rear facing seats, turning all of those middle seats into double beds. No Dom, but dining is still great and the points value is fantastic. I'm actually in that product again on our outbound. On my return I'm presently booked on the Singapore A380 in business, but am seriously considering retaining those KrisFlyer points because I've found the one-way Emirates F for $4,500/pp (usually 2-3 times as much). Still a lot of money, but if it's a good product, I'll use the points later for a Singapore A380 suite. I'd love to try the new "Gamechanger" suite, but it's unfortunately not in service on this particular route. It looks amazing.
At check in. I asked the agent if there were upgrades available. Once they confirmed that upgrades were available, I transferred my points and had them process the upgrade.
WoW! I Love Emirates A380! Cheers for more incredible and awesome flights!🥂🤩❤️✨
Your voice is like butter, I've never and I mean NEVER watched travel video without skipping until today. I literally watched the entire video.

How did you upgrade from business to first class? Were there open seats during check in?
At check in. I asked the agent if there were upgrades available. Once they confirmed that upgrades were available, I transferred my points and had them process the upgrade.
@@pointedtravel Do have any status with Emirates? How early did you check into your flight?
I forgot to mention it in the video, but the Emirates credit card gave me Gold status with Emirates
@@pointedtravel How many points did it take to upgrade ?
The JFK-DXB flights were 54,000 points per person to upgrade. The MLE-DXB flight was 48,000 per person to upgrade
