A YouTuber filmed his trip on the “world’s shortest first-class flight”, Which only cost him $84, and he shared his very brief taste of the high life with his followers.
YouTuber Ben Morris flew first class from Dubai to Bahrain with Emirates. The average length of this flight is one hour and 15 minutes but it is packed full of luxury.
The travel vlog Morris posted shows him arriving at the airport three hours early before deciding to make the most of his first-class experience.
After reaching the first-class section of the business lounge, Morris is treated with his own table and offered breakfast. He ordered the double breakfast, which consisted of salmon and avocado toast, scrambled eggs, and a smoothie (all of which he rated a 10 out of 10).
He was even offered an after-breakfast back massage before his flight, as a part of his ticket.
After finally reaching his terminal, Morris realized he missed a wonderful opportunity: all first-class passengers have the ability to book a buggy to take them to their terminal instead of having to walk.
He’s escorted onto the plane and directly brought to his private pod, where the flight attendant offered him a complimentary glass of champagne. His seat, 23 inches in width, is monitored and controlled by a remote built into the arm of the actual chair of his seat, which itself can be converted into a bed.
To top off everything, his seat has its own TV, pop-up snack bar, mirror, lamp, and air-con to ensure maximum comfort for the next hour or so flight.
Now, before anyone goes getting too excited, the incredible price of Morris’ luxury experience is heavily due to his use of the Skyward Miles he’s been saving up. He explains in his YouTube video that he used roughly 28,750 miles in order to get the discount on his first-class plane ticket.
So, if you’re ever in Bangkok and looking for a taste of the high life, feel free to spend your miles on a worthwhile experience.
