Tomorrow at 12 noon — the Emirates Premium Economy review premieres on YouTube. 🎬

For years, Emirates said they didn't need a Premium Economy cabin. Their Business Class was accessible enough. A middle tier would dilute the brand.

Then in 2022, they changed their mind.

I flew EK2 from London Heathrow to Dubai on the A380 to find out if the wait was worth it — and I wasn't quite expecting what I found onboard.

Set a reminder and join me tomorrow at noon. Link in bio. ✈️

🌙 New review is live!

I flew Virgin Atlantic Upper Class from Barbados to London on the A330-900neo — a late-night departure, overnight, arriving into Heathrow just after nine in the morning.

In January I reviewed the outbound daytime flight, which has now been watched over 36,000 times. Several of you asked about the return. This is it.

Is Upper Class on the neo worth the premium when lie-flat actually matters? The full review is on YouTube now — link in bio.

It’s here. Virgin Atlantic Upper Class from London to Barbados — old plane, late flight, brilliant crew. 🇧🇧✈️

Was it worth £2,253 per person? Watch the full review now — link in bio.

I woke up on my birthday to find my flight to Barbados was delayed by more than three hours. The aircraft had already been switched from Virgin’s new A330-900neo to an older A330-300.

Not the ideal start.

But from the moment I arrived at the Upper Class Wing, Virgin Atlantic made it one of the better flights I’ve had. Four birthday greetings before I even boarded. Birthday cake and ch*****ne in the Royal Box at half past eight in the morning. And once airborne, dinner at the bar on G-VRAY Miss Sunshine.

The bar is one of the best things about Upper Class on the A330-300 — and it’s disappearing as these aircraft are retired.

Old plane. Late flight. Brilliant crew. The full review is now on the Doors to Automatic YouTube channel — link in bio.

This screenshot is straight from delta.com. Two flights, same route, same dates — LHR to JFK, August, Premium cabin. A difference of £1,329.

The cheaper one is operated by Virgin Atlantic.

It’s one of the most striking findings from the full five-airline Premium Economy comparison, which goes live on YouTube next Friday.

Same route. Same weekend. Same cabin class. London to New York, Premium Economy — priced this week across three booking windows.

The spread is wider than you might expect. One airline is consistently double the price of another for a comparable seat on the same route.

The full five-airline comparison goes live on YouTube next Friday — including scores across eight categories, a full pricing breakdown, and some codeshare findings that are worth knowing before you book.
