My first EK First Suite experience!
 

I had a conference in NZ this past week and thought and since I could claim everything as a deduction, I didn’t need too many more excuses to fly First class in an EK A380 from Auckland back to Sydney. I picked up Sale prices so it was roughly $750AUD for a QF flight number (so 120 status credits).

There’s quite often sales from New Zealand (you have to look at QF’s NZ website otherwise it’ll give you the Aussie price which will be closer to $1300) and it’s a great and relatively affordable way of flying EK F (as there’s no other way I’d be able to experience it!)

I managed to grab seat A1 (there were only about 4 others in the F cabin (hence why those sales are on so often) and the experience was amazing.

Since a picture shows a thousand words, I’ll stop here and let you have a look at the video I’ve made.

I’m happy to answer questions!

Great trip report - thanks!

A very basic question: How do they check if you've got your seat belt on during turbulence? (or do they?)

Also: during check-in etc, the gate agents do not seem to be aware that they're being recorded. Are you wearing such an unobtrusive camera that they didn't even notice? :)

Hi mate,
They don't really. :) It's up to the passenger to be responsible for their own safety.

It's a Canon A6000 so it's a moderately size camera. It's around my neck and I usually attempt to stabilise it with my hand so most probably just think it's hanging around my neck and not recording. A few seem to look down at it and I'm fairly sure they have a good idea that it's recording, though. :)

Wonderful video.thanks for sharing. :)
