Traveling by plane with business class tickets is a luxury for many people to experience for a long time.
It is common knowledge that the business class passengers receive premium level service, but the economy class is more affordable, but often not comfortable on flights. Going on a holiday can be exciting for those who love to travel and explore new countries, but it's not always a joy when they get there.
Economy class passengers often don't have many legrooms and some complain about not enjoying food and drink options on board, but business class people can enjoy lie boats and fine dining. London-based Isabelle Henriquez shared his experience flying from Heathrow Airport to Dubai on a ride on the Emirates A380, a two-storey jet airliner.
Prices for this trip start at £2,995. However, according to the Emirates website, people traveling the economy can expect to pay just £545.
Speaking on a Tiktok video, Isabelle said: She recorded her trip to Dubai, starting with “a free driver drive to take you from your home or hotel to the airport,” and when she arrived at terminal 3 at the airport, she immediately checked in.
Her baggage allowance was 40kg and she was split into multiple bags. She then experienced quick tracked security, “literally coming and going within five minutes.”
Once she was done she headed to the Emirates Lounge. It was 8am at this point so she chose breakfast from a series of hot and cold options, fresh pastries, fresh squeezed juices and plenty of alcohol.
Isabel chose raspberry French toast, two sausages and scrambled eggs. She enjoyed the food and described it as “half isn't bad.”
After quickly securing his hair in the bathroom where the shower was on, the 24-year-old had a glass of champagne while watching the plane take off before getting on the flight directly from the lounge. She added: “This is an A380 Airbus. It's one of the big planes and is literally huge.
“It's actually a double decker, and the business seats are placed in a one-to-two seat configuration.” Before taking off, Isabel was offered a drink, hot towels and the opportunity to catch a glance at the menu.
Her flight was seven hours long and she was given breakfast and lunch on board. She said the seats are “very spacious,” and there is a small minibar with drinks, sweets and a tablet device that can be used to control the TV behind the seats.
Isabel was also given a set of headphones, slippers and an eye mask, but the “best bit” was bedding as the airplane staff said they would make a bed for you. She was then served an onboard breakfast consisting of meat, cheese, fruit, bread, yogurt and jam.
There was also a pastry that she said was “the star of the show.” Lie down using a seat recliner, Isabelle took a “very comfortable” nap, but awakened to the turbulence, she decided to go for a walk and check out the bar.
She said all drinks, including cocktails, mocktails, wine, snacks and fruits, were “completely complementary.” Next was lunchtime, she started out with a traditional Arabic meze, followed by a grilled beef steak with potatoes, chimichurri and mushrooms on the main course.
Isabelle was “very impressed by this” with her “unrealistic taste.” She was full, but she didn't want to skip dessert, so she chose the chocolate brownie. Once she was finished, she took another nap and was given another drink and some nuts before landing.
Her detailed Tiktok video has earned comments from people who dream of flying in business class at Emirates. “I will one day skip the Emirates A380 Business Class.” Another addition: “May this life find me.”
