Today I wanted to show you what you could expect from Business Class on Emirates A380
flight EK205 from Milan to JFK. Please follow me on Instagram at brandonjohnson10k for behind the
scenes looks at content that I will be reviewing in the future. Business Class on the A380 for
Emirates is located upstairs and as you can see here we have a little ways to walk. You
ultimately do have a 1-2-1 configuration with the rows being staggered. On the window side
some seats are closer to the aisle and others are closer flush to the window. I had seat 23A,
which I was doing some research and it seemed like the best seat in there. It had a super
wide footwell on the bulkhead row near the back of Business Class. I found that to be a pretty
good seat there as you can see the design here which is similar in the First Class
cabin as far as the woodwork that they have on the plane. Obviously the First Class is a bit
nicer. I will leave a link for the review for First Class so you can see that on the A380.
Here is seat 23A at the bulkhead row. It is a fairly private seat. Let's take a little
more detailed look at the seat. You have outlets, power, headphone jack, a light,
and the in-flight entertainment remote off to your right side when seated. You do have some beverages
there. They don't pop up like in First Class but they are there. It includes some sparkling water,
water, and some soda. Here is the tablet that controls the in-flight entertainment system
as well. Their are multiple ways to control that. Here is a look at the seat. You do have a
pillow and a blanket. They did have the extra comforter there and plenty of storage space at
the seat. That's one great thing about the A380 is the storage space they have at the seat. Their is
some seat controls to your right side. You can see how wide that footwell is and the nice size screen
with the best in-flight entertainment in the industry. You have some nice windows to look out
of; two windows you've got here. I will show you a little bit more about the seat here in a minute.
Those shades do work I just didn't get them to work on that particular try.
Here you see that you do have individual air vents as well on this aircraft. So
here's the tray table that comes out that's underneath the seat controls. It is very sturdy
and can hold all the food that you got. I am not a fan of the lighter wood that Emirates uses
in the planes. To me it's a little; I don't know, gaudy. Here's a look at the shades that
you can detract. They are so much better than the dimming windows on the Dreamliners. So here you
can have complete darkness while your in your seat. So you can get an idea of the footwell
in the fully flat position you can see plenty you have plenty of room so you're not going to have
issues with your feet being pinched at the front of the seat. Plenty of room you have to stretch
out. Pre-departure beverages were offered with a choice of champagne, orange juice, or apple juice.
I will leave you with the takeoff and be back to talk about more on the flight.
Okay let's look at the bathroom here in the A380. As you know 99% of the time bathrooms
are pretty standard and I guess with the wood accents here this makes it a little more than
standard. You do have the Bulgari soap and some fragrance spray. This one actually does have the
window. Now you know. The A380 had the window in the bathroom so that was a plus. No shower in the
bathroom as that's reserved for First Class but still a nice spacious Business Class bathroom.
Here's a look at the highlight to me of Business Class; the bar. It is in the
back so you can come up here anytime and grab a drink it's like you're in a neighborhood Pub.
Only that you are on an airplane at 35,000. So that's quite a feat there. With the food
I had the cured salmon with salad, and bread. This was a little appetizer that comes out before.
Here's the cured salmon which is the main. I had garlic bread but it was a little bit overcooked.
The fish was really good. Here is the chocolate mousse cake and a cheese platter for dessert
which was also really good. There's a little bit of chocolate that they
give you as well. You were fed well during this daytime flight. I am going to leave
you with the extensive wine and food menu to look at and also let you look at the
in-flight entertainment system which is industry leading; as far as the choices
you have to watch things. I will be back after that to talk about Wi-Fi and my final thoughts.
Okay let's take a look at the Wi-Fi here. So that's not bad. $19.99 is for the Wi-Fi. You can
stay in touch with messaging apps for $6 dollars. I kind of balk at that because that's free now
with a lot of carriers to be able to message in WhatsApp, iMessage, and Facebook Messenger.
Then you've got an easy connect for 30 minutes for $10 dollars. So
that was my experience. It was my first experience on Emirates Business Class on
the A380. It was a positive experience. I love the fact that you can go to the bar and have a
really nice social setting. I do recommend doing this on a daytime flight EK 205 from Milan to
JFK is a daytime flight so you can really enjoy the bar instead of having a red eye
flight where you might want to be apt to go to sleep. The service was good. The flight
attendants were really good. The food overall was was pretty good as well. The seat comfort is
good. Just to me the design is not my taste but again it's a comfortable seat and you do have a
lot of space in the foot well to stretch out and get some quality rest. You saw the Wi-Fi options
and the price was decent. I mean $20 dollars for the top option isn't too bad if you need to use
it. I will let you enjoy the landing into JFK on the 4th of July as you see all the fireworks
going off all around the place. As always I appreciate you watching. Please hit the like
