I Upgraded My Flight to Business Class for £78 with Emirates

I'm back in the land of smiles only this time I have no idea I'll long I'll be staying. In this vlog I show you how to upgrade to business class using airmiles. I only had enough airmiles for one leg of my flight so I chose the ,longest flight which is Manchester to Dubai, then to my surprise Emirates upgraded me again for the Dubai to Bangkok flight. It meant I paid £78 to upgrade from Manchester to Bangkok, so a massive thank you to all at Emirates.

      It is indeed it makes a huge difference to how you feel when you arrive as it’s stress free, but with all that alcohol and the atmosphere you end up smashed.😂 I wanted make this vlog the last time but I didn’t get any upgrade offers because the flight was totally packed. Cheers mate.👍

      Thanks Martin. The cheap tickets don’t always mean the cheapest in the long run especially for someone like myself who carries a lot of equipment so I need to extra weight allowance. £78 on top of my flight cost is an absolute bargain!

    Awesome you lucky sod getting upgraded ! Me and my mate usually do same with our points. We met you in the lounge earlier this year when we were flying home. Not sure if it’s commiserations or congratulations on getting made redundant but it is a new start for you. If you’re still there in November we will probably see you in new plaza for a drink. Enjoy your trip.

      I think £78 is reasonable for anyone, okay the usual £2000 is out of most people’s price range (including me. Just collect the airmiles. Just give me a shout when you’re in town Andreas.👍

    what a great journey you had £78 cant beat it ,, the best i,ve had was from bkk to Lhr when the plane got changed within a few days off take off so as i went to book my seat i realised the whole upper deck was free lol, so for the total journey i shared about 100 seats with 2 other people kinda like business class without the proper food though ……cheers for sharing the experience bud!!!

      Yes it’s great when the aircraft is empty and you can stretch out. The problem with this is you don’t enjoy all that room it’s busy in the bar.😂 Cheers Johnny.👍

    Hi Nick hope you well matey,yeah business class is lovely! Had a few up grades over the years as they do sometimes upgrade you for free which is always nice but the last flight to be fair I used my miles as no point in keeping them as Emirates have changed over the years within regards with the miles,years ago I had a flight for 75,000miles from Gatwick return but just had a to pay tax which at the time was £100 so really a good flight but of course I used my miles. I think Emirates is the best at the mo I am sure there are cheaper flights but you cannot go wrong with Emirates as they are good.But at the end of the day your always have a big smile on your face with coming into Bangkok! as you know your going to have a good time.
    Keep up the good videos mate.

      Hi Clint I’m good thanks mate. It certainly makes a huge difference flying in business class and if you pay for one and save your airmiles you can almost get one way for an administration fee. Cheers Clint good to hear from you.👍
