Inside Emirates A330-200 First & Business Class

I have always been intrigued by the Airbus 330s. One one hand, it's said to be the identical length and the framework of an A340 yet it has only two engines. Seemed a little weird to me but I love the fact that it is so dam quiet. It misses the sheer rumble and power of sitting in a Boeing 777 but this has its own charm.

This particular flight is a Business Class Experience on a Short/Medium Haul route from Calcutta, India to Dubai. Jan 09, 2011. A five hour flight which takes off at 9am and lands in Dubai around 2ish in the afternoon.

We are served one meal (pretty nice and elaborate) but after you are served the meal you wont see the crew too much!!

On this particular flight the aircraft had a three class config. but was flying two classes (so basically, as you'll see, the First Class was empty). Also, I was able to do a complete cabin walk thru and you'll notice the difference between the chilled out atmosphere in Business Class compared to the claustrophobic Economy section.

This video includes
- a walk from the tail section of Economy to First Class
- Taxi and Take Off
- Lunch
- Pretty Short Finals into Dubai
- Look at the empty First Class Cabin

First was empty ???

[seatgurus]

@legoryan9 Yeah. basically on this Kolkata-Dubai sector they have two class config. however due scheduling issues, they were using an A330 with a 3 class config. so First was empty. They let me in there for a bit to get some footage for you guys!

Fabulous Trip Report! I have been dying to try Emirates, and I will in June. Any Heads up about the EK business product?

It was interesting as you noted that the range of a fully loaded is somewhere around 8340 nmi, as per airbus' website they state that the range is 7250. Wouldn't jet airways operate the JFK-india serveices nonstop then on the a330-200

@NICKARMAS thanks and glad you enjoyed this video. All the facts on my videos are from well reputed sites and I found that fact - 8340 nmi range - quite stunning to be honest. But, its a tribute to this awesome and sometimes under appreciated aircraft.

@NICKARMAS Also, do you remember the AF447 flight that crashed? It was an A330 and was on a 12 hour flight...just saying. These planes can fly ultra long distances.

hahahaha coach

Emirates started service from Rio de Janeiro (GIG) to Buenos Aires (EZE). Nice way to fly First Class (Suites) or Business for a much lower fare...

[luizgustavolima]

First class on A330 looks like Business on the B777-ER...

very educational link me more videos

Even though a lot of people may complain about the 2-3-2 layout in Business Class in these A330 along with the A340-300 for Emirates, it's pretty sufficient for the shorter routes or the secondary markets such as Athens or Dakar. Was the First Class section closed for reservations?

Looks like an awesome plane!

@rascottdotcom Yea i believe it is Sharjah. If not Sharjah, its Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi is about an hour away from DXB while sharjah is a few mins

Haha, I got isle seats 3 times when i was like 5-8yrs old, but then i said NO WAY, and now I request that they reserve me window seats during time of booking the ticket and it works! only that once I was on a 777 (last year) and the window was all the way infront and i had to lean forward to see outside
