0:02 Emirates first class. We've all seen the
0:04 sweets in the sky, caviar, drinks, even
0:07 showers at 40,000 ft, but we've also
0:10 seen the multiple thousand tickets. But
0:13 what if I told you I paid $445
0:16 instead of $4,400 in Emirates first
0:19 class from Dubai to Bangkok? Same suite,
0:21 same service, same shower, same
0:24 everything, just 90% off the price.
0:26 Today, I'll take you inside one of the
0:28 most iconic first class products in the
0:30 world, Emirates. From the first class
0:32 lounge and onboard bar to the private
0:34 suite and shower spy in the sky, all for
0:42 We'll start with the firstass lounge in
0:44 Dubai. Then we'll board the upper deck,
0:47 dine, check out the bar, the shower, and
0:49 then I'll break down the booking so you
0:52 can get this route for $445 instead of $4,400.
0:53 $4,400.
0:57 Everything you need is in this video.
0:59 There are two Emirates first class
1:01 options on this route. The A380 and the
1:05 777. The A380 has the shower on the sky.
1:08 The trip 7 does not. I want to
1:09 experience the shower. So, we are going
1:12 with the A380 this time.
1:14 The Emirates experience already starts
1:16 on the ground. Even when you arrive at
1:28 The lounge is a city. Private seating,
1:30 alakar dining, so many restaurants,
1:33 quiet zones. And yes, you can also get
1:36 spa and massages before the flight. This
1:39 is a full service. They have restaurants
1:41 with ovens there. They're cooking the
1:44 pizza. They have people preparing sushi
1:47 here. And we're offered juices. I say,
1:48 "Sir, which one you want?" Of course,
1:51 all of them. Let's try everything here.
1:53 >> The food selection is pretty extensive
1:56 here. They have everything from pizzas
1:58 to sushi to even pastries. If you know
2:00 me, you already know that I don't drink
2:02 alcohol. So, instead of a $100 champagne
2:09 The lounge also has a few shower rooms
2:11 with a sink, toilet, provided towels,
2:19 And not too long after, it was time for
2:21 boarding. On board, the crew welcomed me
2:24 by my name and w me to the suite of the
2:33 This is my fourth flight with Emirates.
2:35 First time I was in chicken economy,
2:37 then two times in business, and now the
2:41 next step, the first class. And what an
2:43 upgrade. You get an entire suite to
2:45 yourself with closing doors, a big
2:47 entertainment screen, probably one of
2:48 the best ones across all the airlines.
2:51 Emirates pajamas, slippers, gifts,
2:53 bedding, everything you may need, they
2:55 are prepared for. Services like this
2:57 makes me want to build first class
2:59 citizen to this level of attention and
3:01 detail. Even the service was in Spanish
3:03 because they've seen the passport or
3:05 analyzed my profile and know that I'm
3:07 from Spain.
3:09 Now, before we take off, let's discuss
3:12 the fun part. Let me prove to you how I
3:15 saved almost $4,000 for this first class
3:17 experience and how can you? Cash price
3:20 on this Dubai to Bangkok first class
3:23 flight is $16,8580
3:25 roughly $4,400.
3:27 But the first class rates that I'm able
3:32 to get well 445 I use miles plus taxes 118,500
3:33 118,500
3:37 miles and roughly $445 in taxes. The
3:40 value I got is 4.07 07 cents per point.
3:42 That's over my green light threshold.
3:45 Over 3 cents per point. I book under. I
3:48 think about it. Usually I wait or book
3:50 with cash. But how do you get the points
3:52 fast without having to be a US citizen
3:54 or having a social security number or
3:56 paying US taxes? Well, you get the
3:58 points by using the right credit cards
4:00 and categories. For example, the Chase
4:02 Safire Reserve. Using this card, you can
4:04 stack points quickly with travel and
4:06 dining categories. If you run ads, AMX
4:08 Gold earns you four points per dollar on
4:10 ad spend. With a modest spend, you can
4:13 easily get two to three business class
4:15 or even a first class flight per year
4:18 for 95% off. That's how you beat the
4:19 system. Stick until the end of the video
4:20 and I'll show you how you can start
4:22 getting these credit cards to travel in
4:24 business and first class for cheaper
4:28 than economy.
4:30 After takeoff, the dining experience
4:33 begins. We start with the juice. Then
4:36 the signature unlimited caviar garnishes
4:38 the special pearl spoon. You know,
4:40 restaurant plating, silverware, the
4:42 whole shebang. The pearl spoon and you
4:44 can eat it directly. In theory, this
4:48 should be neutral. But you can also put
4:50 it here.
4:52 Just lick your own skin. Then you can
4:56 combine it with other things here. And
4:58 also temperature of the skin that warms
5:00 up just a little bit the caviar. all
5:03 these fine things and tiny details that
5:05 you know one day an expert can explain
5:07 better than me.
5:14 to stretch the legs. You can enjoy the
5:16 bar. It is exclusive to business and
5:18 first class passengers. You could make
5:24 After that, our reservation for the
5:32 All right,
5:36 now we got it. Have 15 minutes to chill,
6:07 that we're living in an age where these
6:10 things are possible. Imagine in 10 years
6:19 incredible. And yes, stay fit, stay rich
6:22 365 days a year. Train more, look more
6:24 athletic, going to look amazing. I'm
6:26 going to feel amazing in this body.
6:39 Should you do first class on a 6-hour
6:41 flight? Some say business is enough. Me,
6:43 if the A380 is on the route and I've got
6:46 the points, I take it. Daytime flights
6:49 equals more time to enjoy it. Now, time
6:51 for a quick nap. I am from Spain. We
6:54 have Laiesta. So, of course, Lelet beds
7:04 After the short nap, we're coming up on
7:06 our destination of Bangkok. This was a
7:09 6-hour flight, but plenty to enjoy
7:18 So, here's the Emirate sequence I'd
7:21 recommend. Number one, choosing the A384
7:23 shower and bar. Number two, going to the
7:25 airport some hours before the flight to
7:28 enjoy the lounge, especially if you are
7:30 in the DXB terminal. Number three,
7:32 experiencing the unlimited caviar
7:34 service on board and all the food that
7:36 you desire, your favorite dishes. And
7:38 number four, super important, always
7:41 using miles and only paying the taxes so
7:44 you get flights for 95% off, like this
7:46 one. If you want the exact details on
7:47 how you can get these credit cards, I
7:50 made a video explaining exactly how to
7:52 do it. Click it on the screen or with
