Thank you for watching! In this trip report we take a look at my experience flying onboard one of Emirates’ refurbished A380s on their fifth freedom route from Sydney to Christchurch (where the landing was very rough). Is business class worth it on this route? I tell you my thoughts on that and more in this comprehensive review.

I did not inform the airline that I would be filming prior to the flight (unless stated otherwise), and the airline didn't have any say in what made it into this video. #tripreport #emirates #emiratesairline #a380 #airbusa380 #aviation #flightreview #businessclass
