Not What I Expected from Emirates First Class…😳
In the latest installment of his travel adventures, Sam Chui takes us aboard a refurbished Emirates Boeing 777-300ER in First Class, flying from Dubai to Shenzhen—one of Emirates’ newest destinations. What begins as a routine journey quickly takes an unexpected turn, leaving viewers questioning whether Emirates still upholds its renowned First Class standards.
The adventure starts at Dubai Airport, where Sam is greeted by a luxurious First Class check-in area resembling a high-end hotel lobby. After a brief encounter with attentive staff, he heads to the First Class Lounge, feeling optimistic about the flight ahead. But once onboard, the experience diverges from expectations.
While the First Class cabin remains visually appealing, complete with elegant white leather seats and an extensive menu featuring caviar and premium wines, it’s the service that falters. Sam notes that, despite the flight being lightly loaded, the soft service is inconsistent—often leading to long waits between courses and some lack of attentiveness from the crew. What should have been a seamless indulgence turns into a series of frustrating hiccups.
As Sam captures his experience, he contrasts the stellar hard product with the subpar soft service, prompting crucial reflections on the overall First Class experience. With Emirates’ reputation on the line, this candid review raises important questions about consistency and quality in premium travel.
Will Emirates rise to meet its acclaimed status? Watch until the end for Sam’s full insights and verdict on whether the airline still deserves its place among the world’s top First Class products.
