50 Hours in the World’s Best First Class ($75,000 Ticket)!

I just bought a ticket on the newly crowned 2026  world's best first class on their longest flight   journey of 50 hours that costs up to $75,000  as you fly in their top two first class seats.   Which makes me wonder... what is it like to live 50 hours in the world's best first class? Well to find out I'm spending the next 50 hours running  through 2 days of my full daily travel routine,   starting with discovering my home on flight number  one. Hello. Doing great. How are you? Please make   yourself comfortable. Great. Thank you. My  name is Rachel. I have with us. Wow. So, okay,   ladies and gentlemen, my mind is blown. Like,  I've flown Emirates before, but never for such   a long journey. Like, to have 50 hours on board  here. Thank you. Me, too. Don't bring us. Amazing.   Sounds great. Oh, fantastic. Thank you. Thank  you so much. They backed up with everything. Oh,   that's beautiful right there. Thank you. Hot tub.  Oh, yes. Let me just You guys keep bringing so   many things that I'm like I don't know where  to put things. There's more to come as well.   There's more to come. Can I take all three? Okay.  Oh, great. Yeah. Yes, please. Thank you so much.   You're bringing so many things. I'm having a hard  time holding everything. I have the menu for your   personal copies. It's a beautiful menu. It's very  nice. Some live reading material. Like this menu   is like 50 pages long here as there's not one with  four different menus here of of course breakfast,   lunch, and dinner and then a bit of a secret  menu that I'll talk about later, but it's   just so insane to think that we're going to be  eating four different meals on one flight. So,   as we take off from New Zealand, it's officially  time to start our journey to Dubai and onwards all   the way to Brussels with this first flight  to Dubai taking 18 hours. And like I said,   I'm going to run through my typical daily  routine. So for hour one, let's check out my   home/accommodation for the night. Like this seat  feels like a literal hotel room in the sky with   for example first having a closable door which  gives you absolute privacy in your suite that   has just an insane amount of space and leg room as  the seat itself can transform into the largest bed   any airline offers with also having things like  a retractable mini bar here where you can fill it   with any beverage you'd like. This iPad thing here  which is sort of like your universal remote. this   little clickable vanity mirror here. Of course,  this enormous TV that has anything from different   movies to TV shows to even having different  streaming platforms. And as we're on the A380,   there's no overhead bins in this first class  because around us, there's all of these different   storage areas. There's even one for I think like  your armpit needs located right next to your seat.   Like when you have an armpit storage area, that's  when you know it's next level. And in terms of   the amenities, it's again just completely  out of control with all around your seat,   there being hidden free things. Like if we look  over here in the vanity mirror section, we have   this little kit of amenities having things like  eye cream and facial toner, but then also stuff   like pillow mist and sleep oil. Anyway, then over  here we have this snack basket full of different   goodies of anything from practical things like  electrolytes to salty snacks like different   crackers to then having sweet things like jelly  beans and chocolates. And then underneath that,   if you click this little compartment here, you  have a Emirates journal and pen. But ladies and   gentlemen, that is enough compared to the star  of the show of the amenities of the goodie bag   Emirates basket here, which of course first has  this beautiful tote bag that you can bring home   with you, eye mask, super cozy slippers with  having sheep fur inside, chamomile infused   pajamas, and then the best thing of them all of  the leather amended kit with having a variety   of Bulvagari luxury goods and then shaving cream  and a razor, a comb, home and then funny enough,   Axe body spray to get this amount of free things  within the seat. I'm I'm pretty impressed. But now   being an hour or two, we're still flying over the  Tasmin Sea, which has made for an incredible view   of the stars. But now it's time to move to my next  activity of the dinner. It's a big table. Yeah. Great. Thank you. Oh. Um, yeah, it's it's amazing. Yeah. Anyway,  in front of us for our a pure teeth course here,   we have some chips, some nuts, and some  olives along with the star of the show here   of the wine. And I just looked up the price  of this wine. And it costs, just wait for it,   $500 a bottle. Compliment. When you hear the words  complimentary and chef on the airplane, you know   the dinner's going to be amazing. In front of  us here, we have a beautiful deep root salad   with feta cheese. And then we have a sliced piece  of steak on sweet potatoes with the taste being   absolutely unbelievable and a perfect way to start  this meal. But for the second course, we have   the absolutely stunning and impressive caviar.  The amount of caviar they've given us here is   enormous. Like this is a $300 portion of caviar.  And with the caviar and wine here not only being   probably the most expensive combination of things  I've ever had at the same time, but with the taste   just being unbelievable. Don't judge me. You would  do the same thing if you were in my position here. It's a bumpy ride. If I could just ask you  to fasten your seat belt right when the super   arrives. I know. I was like, if I spill this,  I'm blaming the devil. But continuing on to the   third course, we have the beautiful pumpkin bisque  soup. And to be honest, I'm not normally much of a   soup fan, but this soup was unbelievable. And  with paired with a $350 bottle of white wine,   seriously took this to another level that I don't  think I've ever seen on a soup course before. But   then again, we are in Emirates. But for a fourth  course, it's technically still an appetizer,   but it takes up the entire table. Ladies and  gentlemen, this is the incredibly impressive   Arabic mezz. I don't know how you can categorize  this as an appetizer. This is like a freaking   feast with each and every dish on the Arabic mezz  just tasting unbelievable. But continuing on to   the main course, this meal just keeps on getting  more and more impressive with having the beautiful   the stunning filt. Like to have that perfect of  a steak on an airplane is just unbelievable. Like   truly my compliments to the chefs here. But for a  six course, we start the dessert portion of this   meal. And I say dessert portion because there's  multiple courses of dessert here. Like starting   us off here, we have the beautiful white chocolate  and lemon cheesecake being by far the best bite   we've had thus far. Continuing on to the second  dessert course and the seventh course overall,   we have the beautiful apple tart, which is topped  with caramel sauce and clotted cream. And the   apple tart looks unbelievable. But served with  it is something I just can't get over of a glass   of conac served from a bottle that cost $4,000,  which I got to say, the only way I can describe   that apple tart is I feel like I'm in paradise.  Would you like to try a bit of each? Sure. Yeah,   that would be amazing. And continuing on to  the eighth course, the third dessert course,   we have the Emirates chocolate offering where  they offer eight different varieties of chocolate.   truly completing one of the best meals of my life  being a 4-hour meal, which now being an hour 6   and passing over Australia, I'm going to continue  my daily routine with finding an evening activity   to do. And surprisingly, I have many options to  choose from. You see, this aircraft is the A38,   which is the largest passenger plane in the  world. And because there's so much space and so   many people, there's a bunch of different things  to do on this plane as if you were in a city. Like   if we go to the back of the aircraft, we come into  the bar slash since it's 1:00 a.m. the nightclub.   And I have a bit of a special request for Rachel  and I'm not sure how she's going to react. Okay,   so I have a bit of a weird request. Um, nothing we  haven't Okay, so I had Chad GBT generate generate.   Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. a a cocktail with and and this  is what it came up with. The 40,000 foot mirage.   You can do it. Oh my god. Yeah. To be fair,  me and my husband have a bar. Oh wow. Okay. Cool. Big rolling through the streets  on my mind. I can't waste my time   with it. That's not like got to bust me  down. Keep me. Okay, that's fine. Yeah. back to call me sis. I ain't your [ __ ] I think this needs to be on the menu. I think  Everest needs to add this to the menu right   here. The 40,000 ft barrage. Okay, you did an  outstanding job. Look at that. That is that   is an amazing recreation right there. I mean,  everybody comment below. Rachel is the absolute   best. And now being an hour 8, we've officially  gotten past Australia and are near Bali at the   moment. And now I'm headed back to my seat to  do the next activity of the midnight snack,   which comes on a secret menu. And while I go back  to my seat, I want to answer a DM that I got a few   hours back of what my biggest travel tip of 2026  is to save both money and also have the best trip   in general. And my advice is an app that I use  almost every trip, and that's Cluke. On Cluke,   you can book pretty much any travel experience you  can think of, from tickets in New York to Broadway   shows like The Lion King to unique workshops like  graffiti art lessons in Brooklyn. But the hack   really comes from their travel passes. Like for  example, the New York City Cloop travel pass is   an option where you can book up to six different  experiences together and save money on each and   every experience with the price being cheaper  than the normal price. But what's even cooler   is Clue has experiences all around the world  from Disney tickets in Tokyo to Mount Rainer   National Park day tours from Seattle. So huge  thanks to Clue for being a long-term sponsor.   And if you're planning a trip, click the link  in the description box below and be sure to   use my code Living Bobby Clue to get 10% off  your first order. But anyway, now we're back   at our seat and let me tell you guys about this  secret menu being the movie theater snack menu.   Since the seat is like your own personal cinema in  the sky. This is incredible. I love how there's a   movie snack menu. It's amazing. It's very small.  Like in front of us, we have a box of popcorn   here as if we were in a movie theater itself.  Fried chicken sliders and some chips. Anyway,   since we have these incredible movie snacks in  front of us here, it's time to watch a movie.   And after watching F1 with these delicious snacks,  we're now an hour 10 and are over Singapore. And   our next step in my daily routine is sleeping.  So, I've just asked Rachel to make our bed,   which of course the bed is super impressive with  having a mattress cover here, a duvet, and a   pillow. But along with all of that, there's three  things that Emirates offers. I guess you would   say on the side of the bed of having a tea menu,  chamomile pillow mist, and I don't think they do   this for everybody, but since I love the chocolate  so much, they gave me a box of chocolates, which   is of course incredible and super impressive.  But obviously, the comfortability of the bed   is the most important part. So, I'm going to go  test that and I'll see you guys a bit later in Wow. I I I don't know if I've ever gotten a  better sleep on an airplane before. Anyway,   now we're near Sri Lanka, which is crazy that  we've been on board for so long now and yet we   have so much more to go. Anyway, with that  said, it's officially breakfast time. Hi,   morning. Um, I'd like to have a  breakfast. How's your flight going? Yeah, this is such a long  flight. Yeah, it's so crazy. Okay. Amazing. Thank you. Great. Wow. Okay.  This this is a next level breakfast. So,   starting off with the sides here, we have a pastry  basket with anything from a croissant to a Danish   to a bread roll. Then we have a coffee. Our first  dish of what looks like a English breakfast,   which has scrambled eggs, sausage, baked beans,  and a hash brown. And last but not least,   buttermilk pancakes. I can't think of a better way  to wake up than having a beautiful plate of eggs,   pancakes, a pastry basket, and delicious coffee.  Like seriously, this breakfast again has blown   me away. But being an hour 14 now, it's time for  our morning prep. And just like everything else   on this airplane, they offer something truly  outrageous for your morning prep. Like just to   explain, we're currently going to our appointment  in what Emirates calls the spa room, which has   like your typical bathroom things like a sink, a  toilet that is kind of like hidden back there, but   then things that are just so on the next level.  Like for example, the floors here are heated.   There's a TV in here, a plant for decoration, more  free amenities from luxury brand Voya with all   this stuff adding up to a pretty nice free amenity  as well. However, the main draw of this room and   the reason why we have an appointment is because  there's a shower. I am officially in heaven. Wow.   With the paradise continuing with when I exited  the spa experience, Rachel was waiting for me   with this beautiful tea with there also being a  freshly cut fruit platter waiting for me at my   seat which was perfect to have for my next part of  my daily routine of getting some work done which   on Emirates first class passengers get access to  the internet for free which let me tell you is the   fastest I think I've ever seen on an airplane and  coupled with the ceiling having stars lit up above   me while I worked this was not only a very cool  and comfortable environment, but also made for a   super productive couple hours. But anyway, now in  hour 16, it's lunchtime. And looking at the menu   here again, I am just like I'm blown away by how  many choices there are on this thing with having   things that look delicious, but also just are  insanely fancy. Like for example, they have pasta,   but it has truffles in it, which is exactly what  we went with here. And it looks just insane. like   off the charts good, which is served with truffle  cream, blanched broccoli, marinated artichokes,   and pecarino. I feel like I'm at a Michelin  star Italian restaurant right now. Like,   this is just insane. Like, when you think it  can't get any better, it does. And an hour 18,   we arrived in our first stop of Dubai, where  we're stopping before taking the new and more   expensive first class that's offered as it's just  had a $5 billion renovation. But first, we had an   overnight stay in Dubai at a beautiful five-star  hotel that came completely for free as first class   passengers staying over get a five-star hotel for  free. But anyway, after a day of exploring Dubai,   we're back at the airport in the Emirates first  class lounge, which is considered one of the   best and most luxurious lounges in the world.  Like, if we just walk down this hallway here,   you can see the normal airport below. And then on  our level is only for the first class passengers   on Emirates where there's all different types  of complimentary things. like to start off   my daily routine now on day number two. For my  breakfast, I had access to this legendary buffet,   having things all the way from pastries to even  sushi. Anyway, I believe I have to get moving   because we're boarding now on flight number two,  which is on the newest and more luxurious Emirates   First Class. Hello. Welcome back on board.  Thank you. Wo. Okay, this this cabin is on the   next level. Like as we take off an hour 42 from  Dubai going to Brussels. Let me continue my daily   routine by showing you my accommodation on the  new renovated Emirates first class cabin. Which   first impressions, I didn't know it was possible  for the world's best first class to look better,   but this this is wild with every single detail  in the suite looking elevated. Like this feels   like I'm the first passenger that's ever flown in  this cabin with everything looking super shiny.   There being this super beautiful wood finishing  everywhere around the cabin with also the seat   itself looking double the size compared to the  original. Like you could fit two people in this   seat with the headrest being absolutely enormous  and the bed being even longer and also I'm pretty   sure having way more padding. Now, in terms of  the amenities, it's also on the next level with   them offering not one but two amenity kits here  with this one being a full-on leather bag with   all these different luxury products and with this  being the women's which they give to you to gift   to whoever you'd like with also having a crazy  value attached to it. But ladies and gentlemen,   that's not the only new thing they offer here.  They also have a fullon different menu of goodies   which makes me super excited to test it with  our lunch. Oh, excellent. For the first course,   we have the caviar, which I'm not going to lie,  never ceases to amaze me. But what's even crazier   is in this elevated version of first class,  they offer something truly shocking. Another   portion there. Oh, I can get another portion.  Of course, you can get as many as you want. Round two. Not going to lie, I could get used to  eating caviar every meal. Beautiful. But anyway,   continuing on to the third course, we have the  beautiful salmon. Like to have salmon served   with this level of quality on an airplane is  just mind-blowing to me. And I feel like each   and every dish is just more and more beautiful.  Like this salmon dish, it looks like it could   be served in a restaurant. And with the taste  just being unreal, like I can certainly see   Emirates 2 billion renovation upgrade here.  Continuing on, we have the beautiful avocado   and mango salad. When I heard about the salad  course, I honestly wasn't too excited. I'm like,   I can have a salad anywhere. Why would I  have it in first class? Ladies and gentlemen,   that's why you have it in first class. I have  never seen such a beautifully prepared salad   before. This is without a doubt the most fancy  salad I've ever had. Oh wow. And continuing on to   the main course here, we have the beautiful seared  rainbow trout that looks absolutely stunning. Like   the dinner was incredible on the last flight.  this. I mean, dare I say it's on another level,   and I could probably keep on going on for hours  and hours with getting more and more courses.   However, there's another secret menu that wasn't  on the previous flight that I want to save some   room for. But now being an hour 44, I'm going to  continue my daily routine by having my bed made   because just like everything else in this seat,  the bed is on another level. Like welcome ladies   and gentlemen to the beautiful bed with having not  one but two pillows, a duvet, a mattress cover,   and the seat itself is also longer. So, I'm  going I'm going test this out for a little nap. Oh my gosh. Wow. I could sleep for another 10  hours. But we have a secret menu to test. You   see on this menu there's an entire section  dedicated to one food and that is the cheese   menu. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the  beautiful, the stunning, the surprising to find on   an airplane of the cheese course. These thing are  cheeses like I have never heard of before. Like   there's an espresso bell vitano cheese, a truffle  goat bett cheese, caveed eerico cheese. I mean,   when an entire hour is dedicated to just cheese,  you know it's going to be special. But the secret   menu journey continues with having the burger  selection with us going with Wagu sliders. Like,   where else are you going to have sliders that  are Wagu? This is insane. And in the final hour,   the crew gave me a personalized piece  of Papyrus as momento of the journey,   which really captured what made this  experience so special of the people from   Rachel on the first flight to the incredible  crew on the second. Sure, the seat, the food,   the amenities were amazing, but it was the people  who made this journey truly unforgettable. So,   thanks for coming along on this adventure  with me, and I'll see you guys next time.
