Oh my oh my...
Its been more than three months since my last trip report...and the back log has only gotten longer! I hope you all still remember, I just landed in Dubai....
But before that, here's what happened:

I flew the best way out, on a SriLankan A330 to Chennai. This was followed by a quick Premiere class run on Jet to Mumbai. I met some lovely aviation enthusiasts on the way, that is always fun! Very Happy
This was followed by a slightly strange red eye flight with Jet Airways to Kolkata. I looked forward to the Emirates A330 to Dubai. There I was in the hotel...

Alarm bells rang. 2 on the phone, one wake up call. 0530 am. Four hours just flew by. Through the curtains I saw the first rays of sunshine come through, it was a new day in Dubai.
Not for me though, I had landed in Dubai not long before the stroke of midnight, it was time to head for yet another flight, and this was going to be a big one.

Good morning again, Dubai!


Some info - nice helpful cabin luggage tip!

After a quick shower (which was a bad idea since I nearly fell asleep there), it was on to wait for a shuttle. Not long a drive and a few Emirates plane landings later, we reached Dubai's huge Terminal 3. Member avbuff gave me detailed instructions of meeting him in front of the iconic blue departure FIDs. Well, one can't miss them anyways! However, as it happened, he couldn't find a cab Sad and it was all down to a phone call. All I had was words of praise for Emirates and how efficiently the whole Dubai Connect process worked out for me. He wished me a great flight. avbuff, thanks so much for everything, I really really appreciate it all! Very Happy








Flew through the check in area since I had a boarding pass in my hand already. I only needed to find out the gate number. Immigration and security were both quick. I glanced at the departure gates FIDs: Gate B15 for EK225 to San Francisco. B? And here I was thinking only A concourse gates are used for A380s! I headed up the escaltors towards the main Duty Free area, and it was bustling with people! The morning bank was well and truly underway. People lined up at restaurants, retail outlets, washroom, you name it! The first plane I saw was an Airbus A380. In fact, that was parked at B15, meaning that was A6-EOC, my ride to San Francisco!!






I took a seat in front of the WhaleBus. Parents had just landed, A6-EGK was parked in a remote bay and so my parents were on a bus. Told them its the old concourse, and so no need to worry. It wasn't long before I saw my groggy eyed parents! It was great to reunite with them at the Dubai International Airport.



Just the two A380s at Concourse B Smile

While they came in, I headed for breakfast at an Italian joint. Exchanged some USD for AED, the line for the cafe was quite long! Just when I was about to tuck in to a lovely quick breakfast, I got a message from Dad: boarding for EK225 was underway. A quick look at the wristwatch: it was already 0730 in the morning!





I packed the pepperoni pizza slice and the lovely warm chocolate muffin and pretty much rushed back towards gate B15. While approaching, I signaled my parents to head for boarding, while I'd join in later. The line grew pretty long, of course. A full flight, not too many seats empty. The ground staff did a document check before we headed onboard.


Heading down the escalator, it was mostly empty, some people were selected for a secondary screening. I sat around the strangely empty holding area, just staring at A6-EOC: what a magnificent (yet ugly, I'll stand by that) plane the A380 is!






Headed towards EOC, only to receive a warm welcome from the crew! Seated on seat 49A was Mum and on 49C was Dad. 'Here's the middle seat for coming in late, son', said Dad. Really Dad? Rolling Eyes Anyway, I got my seat 49A. The cabin crew members were quite friendly, and kept checking on the passengers, and we didn't even take off! Nationalities included: Swiss, British, Thai, Japanese, Egyptian, Venezuelan, Indian...to name a few who showed up in the front part of the cabin during the flight, there was still the rest of the long A380 to go!



Hot towels were distributed as I noticed the number of kids running around, or just not sitting tight. A quick glance at the passengers around, and no wonder they call Emirates India’s unofficial national airline! Passengers from Chennai, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad…you name it! (I peeked at their boarding passes..) And then there were three…from Kolkata. Myself and an elderly couple. An announcement was made that the Asian Vegetarian option (or something like that) won’t be served as a special meal and instead the vegetarian option on the menu would be served.


Dubai is notorious for all its delays involved with the management of so many planes departing in a very short span of time. A look at the time. 0818 hours. Seven minutes to departure. One of the jet bridges were pulled back. How exciting it was to see this happen! Very Happy The Captain came over the PA system at 0821 hours, and perhaps the clearest flight announcement ever (in terms of sound quality, that is). He announced a delay of fifteen minutes because of a failure in the baggage loading system. 'ULTIMATE AIRPORT DUBAI!' is what popped up in my head the minute I heard the announcement!

0845 hours. Twenty minutes late. Pushback. I found it absolutely astounding to believe the fact that a fully loaded A380 with luggage, food, passengers, fuel and some more cargo was being pushed back so effortlessly by a tug! The for EA GP7200 engines were brought into life as A6-EOC was a beast woken up, a whale that was ready to fly.
Now I won’t deny the fact that I have tracked this right from pushback to take off on many occasions. I remembered how long the plane had to taxi when I was on my way to Cape Town. I feared a similarly long delay. Two A380s held short of Runway 12R. One of them was us, however, the other A380 alongside arrived at the hold-short point before us.





Notice the proud odd Boeing 737! Very Happy




Oh, other stuff exists, too!



0900 hours, and we slowly started taxiing on to the active. 0901 hours, a haunted haul was followed by the mighty roar of four GP7200 engines as EOC thundered down the runway. A take off roll that lasted 45 seconds, and my God was it impressive! What made it more awesome was the fact that we were pretty much racing an AeroLogic Boeing 777-200LRF, but made less awesome when I saw that blue A320 from India. Come on! Crying or Very sad


There was still a bit of runway left as we went by some of sights I could recognize from Ultimate Airport Dubai, the extra parking for example. EOC steadily climbed into the skies on a very clear day. We banked a bit towards the left, signifying a northward course for San Francisco. A polar flight, how exciting! Very Happy







It wasn’t a very long time that we had spent over the Arabian Sea because we quickly flew over into Iran. A lovely treat of dessert dunes and a very Middle Eastern scene followed. We set in our initial cruising altitude of 36,000 feet as another treat followed: breakfast! Lovely Emirates food, but of course! Very Happy
Breakfast started off with the distribution of special meals that were pre-ordered. That meant, a seafood meal for Mum, with her name and seat number printed on it, rather nicely. It was a while before the main meal service started, but that’s alright, considering the size of this aircraft!

Menu



Seafood meal




















Breakfast was followed by a drinks run. This included tea and coffee, juices and soft drinks. The three of us tucked into various movies, Penguins of Madagascar for me. However, with that came sleep. While most of you would say ‘sleep was interrupted,’ I say that the sleep interrupted the movie hehe Razz

‘Once you wake up after a nice long nap, you have the energy to get up and punch through every overhead bins, but then you realize there’s still eleven hours to arrival….’ Arnabh summed this up perfectly. I woke up. It felt like a refreshingly long nap! However, I wasn’t getting ahead of myself. I checked the huge IFE screen. 13:16 to destination. Just about an hour and a half had passed. I kept calm, but a little part of me died internally to be honest.


Nearly 13 hours to go!

I went around for a quick walk to the front of the cabin. I sat down. And then I went around for a walk towards the rear of the cabin. Walking around during a long haul flight may seem annoying, but there are somethings that you’ve just got to do to survive these almost day log flights! The galleys had plentiful of snacks in baskets in the galleys. Granola bars, apples, bananas and chocolate bars.

A word on the crew, as usual. Very nice, all throughout. When the turbulence came (I was right at the end of the long fuselage), they did ensure (rather strictly) that all passengers had their seatbelts fastened (and like me, to be seated). Other than that, over the duration of the 15 hours, all of them had a smile on their faces, no matter what. A nice ‘Cheers!’ or ‘Enjoy!’ followed after the passengers were served a drink. Even when they talked amongst themselves and someone approached them, they’d look professional and serve the passengers. Very nice! Oh and to add, they kept going around the cabin with juices (mango, pineapple, orange, tomato) and water


One of many drink services


Crew rest area on the right





Stars!







Now, the in flight entertainment system. I have no words to describe this, at all! Massive screen that had HD resolution, responsive to gentle touches (as opposed to hammer-screens I've found on a certain Hong Kong based airline), a huge variety of TV shows, music, movies, games, from all around the world. Also, most important for us avgeeks - the flight information: various renditions of the view of the scenery from parts of the plane (cockpit, window, outside. etc). There also is a handheld device (not a remote) with a touchscreen, and you can program it to show whatever you like: flight information, camera view, etc. It kept the three of us very entertained. No wonder Emirates’ I.C.E has won awards for over a decade now!

The last row in the forward section of the A380 had a bit of space between the seats and the wall, giving passengers a place to stand and stretch. Very nice from Emirates, in my opinion. They could have fit four seats here (and a total of sixteen along the whole Economy section), which would’ve given them more revenue, but with passenger comfort in mind, they played their cards correctly. I walked around again. I asked the Swiss flight attendant when the next meal would be served. She said in about forty minutes. True to her word, trolleys were rolled out and placed just behind the last row of my economy section.




One day, I hope to visit this city!





Nice amenity kit, as always!

1331GST, 0101PDT, lunch time. Around five hours into the flight, lunch service started. As usual, the special meals were handed out first. Mum was now a bit tired of the seafood meals, and so she asked if she could have something else instead. However, this was politely declined and she’d have to wait after everyone onboard was served. Dad and I asked her to take it anyway, and we’d share the lamb later on.

Towels before the meal



Mum's seafood meal





And yet again, it was a meal that had more than delivered! The lamb gravy was tasty, the rice was nice and warm with full of flavor, the dessert was delectable!




Drinks followed next. I went for tea (it was Dilmah tea…and bit of Sri Lanka was on this flight, other than your’s truly, a pseudo-Sri Lankan!) and a Tia Maria liquor. Amazing stuff. I tucked into the Grand Budapest Hotel, after I swapped seats with Mum (gave her the window seat so she had the walls to lean against). I tucked in to The Grand Budapest Hotel, quite literally laughing all through the movie! And at times Mum would look at us boys and ask us to sleep: she was following the long haul flight tips properly, and here I was with barely half an hour of sleep down. I did, however sleep nicely in the hotel though so…. There still was eight hours of flying time to go. It was just half way!!!





7hr41min to go....


Arctic Ocean!
















Some of my own IFE lol






A helpful space!



And this is where stuff got interesting. I developed a bad bad headache and trying to sleep was tricky. I put on some the I.C.E system and just counted down to arrival. The flight was getting longer longer it seemed. We were almost flying over the north pole at this stage of the flight. I tried to sleep it off for most of the flight, with minimal success. About five hours from arrival, a miniature cheese pizza was served, which had to be warmed up. Not a full meal of course, but a reasonably filling snack before arrival. And it was at this point, the ultra-long haul hallucinations kicked in - San Francisco seemed to be getting further and further away when actually we weren’t too far off, and getting closer (but of course). We were now nearing Canada, or as we all know it - the other side of the world!


Final service





ALMOST THERE!!!


AWW YEAH!

I spent my time dealing with the headache and just listening to some songs (not thrash or heavy metal, sucks to say those kinda counted towards the headache Rolling Eyes ). Four hours, three hours, two hours, one hour. The final fourth of the flight got kinda boring and uninteresting as I mostly stayed put. Before I knew it, I felt EOC’s nose dip a little bit. The end of the flight was near! The crew came out once again to give us more warm towels, and to refresh after the very long flight.



Testing out wifi!

And soon, looking out of the window, I saw patches of land, all of which became blatantly obvious when we descended down the clouds towards California. Patches of land, ohh was it beautiful to see! The cabin crew came around securing the cabin for arrival.

LAND!!




One child was crying a lot due to ear pain possibly, and one of the crew members tried her best to calm her down. Again, showing what a great crew team we had on this ultra long haul flight! Soon, we were over San Francisco airspace. It started off with me spotting Oakland International Airport, that is bang opposite the main city of San Francisco, the other side of the 'Bay Area' . And soon, I saw them all. PLANES! They were everywhere! Landing into Oakland, entering formation to land in to San Francisco, taking off from the other two runways towards the east (28L/28R), flying under EOC, etc. It was so much fun looking at those fly around...every where! And soon, the heavy EOC made its final bank and lined up with Runway 28L. On final approach, one the many kids predicted a hard landing.









There it is! San Francisco International Airport!







And well, for the most part, the kid was wrong. A pretty nice (but not feather like) landing was made on to Mother Earth's surface. Oh it felt absolutely amazing to be back on land. Quite a few planes around obviously, as EOC taxied out of the active runway at a snail's pace. 'Poor plane. After flying for fifteen hours it can barely move around to get to the gate!' said Mum, as EOC took forever to get to the gate at the international terminal.






American, Delta, United. American, Delta, United every where I see! And Southwest. However, things got a bit more diverse towards the international terminal. The very old KLM B747 PH-BFA, a Cathay Pacific plane, an Air France A380.. It was all pretty epic! We docked at the gate after about 15 minutes from touching down.


KLM B747...a sign of things to come?! Very Happy






A jet bridge was attached to door L1. Hilarity ensued as the upper deck's aerobridge failed to align properly and hence all first and business class passengers had to deplane from the one door on the main deck. This took a while, but oh well. Seated in the front of the economy section had its benefits as it did mean we were some of the first to get off. I thanked the crew for a wonderful flight. Immigration wasn't too far luckily and we joined the line. Took a while, very nice immigration person who served the three of us in a very friendly manner, contrary to all beliefs. That took in total, about half an hour.



Thank you, 49A!

Baggage claim is what took all the bloody time. It took about 50 minutes! No surprises though, full A380 with generous baggage allowance? Oh yeah. Forever it'd take. The stuff from Colombo came in early, however, my Kolkata stuff took much longer. Sigh. Anyway, we asked some of the helpful people as to how to get to the hotel, they informed us of various hotel shuttles. That took another good twenty minutes.




We checked in to the hotel and rest our broken backs for a bit. But in terms of physical tiredness, it was not too bad. My parents and I did the 'ultra long haul' flight perfectly. No fatigue, no dehydration. And there I was! Finally, in the United States of America, five years after I was supposed to visit this land initially. My new life was about to begin, but not just yet! A cruise, and a few more flights had to be flown. Some very ordinary domestic flights follow, but do stay tuned, trust me its not too bad!

It now sounds cliche'd, ``...a TR we all have been waiting for'', since you now have a very long backlog of exotic flights.many people may travel more, many may write more trip reports, but few can describe exotic flights to exotic destinations with a flair like you do, Sir!
And once again, in spite of remembering most of the earlier parts (and the build-up to this trip), I re-read them (easily, through the subtle links in your TR), just to soak in the experience (and have an even longer session of hogging and over-eating for breakfast).
A quick night hotel transit through Dubai is not something one reads about everyday: thank you for the lovely pictures and descriptions. You describe the jet lag and sleep-deprived state very well, something that I can well associate with, albeit in humbler surroundings of a terminal and a pure Y experience.
Very nice EOC photo, with the star on the forehead, like a bindI!
Emirates is well-known for the good job with the food, and I see that this flight was no exception. Winglets or no winglets, you have some lovely wing shots, as usual!
And you have described the Emirates A388 rather well, with facets which interest most of us avgeeks.
Nice and soft gradation into SFO on landing, and on the land...trust me, we all are tuned for more gems from you!
Cheers, Sumantra.

Lovely words from you sir, and might I add, perhaps not all that deserved! Smile

I guess its time to post TRs in relation to your meal times? Wink

Sir, I too am a humble Y class folk. Its the joy of flying that keeps me excited and motivated to write these TRs. Furthermore, whatever my J class flights have been, all very lucky to have been upgraded!

I found the star to be a distracting bit in my photograph Sad

Thanks so much, sir!
I will try and stick to a regular schedule now - all my TRs have been typed up and ready to go! I just need to find time to put them up.

- Great report! too bad we couldn't meet in Dubai always unlucky with dates/timings.
- Hehehehehe I can imagine the feeling of wanting to get on the ground after 15 hours. I guess the lack of sleep was the issue, I've been lucky recently always managed to avoid getting (relatively) bored. The IFE is the main thing but if you can't sleep in the seat yikes Confused
- Magnificent yet ugly .... true true words Smile i do think she looks very impressive up close by the nose (side profile not so much)
- How were the lavs by the end of it?
- The eye shades look a bit like the QR ones, were the amenity kits on the seat when you boarded or were they handed out? What was in it- shades socks and toothbrush?
- Im sure the area behind the seats is great for other passengers to stretch out ..... I bet the guys sitting there don't think so Cool

What a nice detailed report Jishnu. The timing could not have been more perfect as I will be flying off to the US soon on Emirates which is a first time for me and your detailed report was a good teaser for me to know what to expect.

15 hours is a long flight and the last time ever did such a long one was Singapore to Los Angeles direct flight on a SQ A340 which was close to 16 hours in 2009. Now a days I prefer a one stop flight as I find it difficult to sit for 16 hours as my back starts hurting besides with one stop I can stretch my legs.

The pictures are excellent did you use your camera phone or do you still carry a point shoot/DSLR? The only thing I don’t like in the Emirates design scheme is the wooden brown paneling makes it look very 80ish but that is just my personal opinion.

Also good to know the TV Screens are HD. Many times you don’t need a very large screen if you have HD quality but still many airlines use big screens but poor quality of video.

Elegant internal decoration on Emirates A380. Look at AI 777s, there are no match. Jishnu yours is a nice trip report!

That's great! I hope you have a wonderful trip ahead - Emirates is perhaps the best airline to fly with on ultra-long haul routes.

As I found out on the way back, in December/January, a one stop is a much better way to go. You can compare both legacy carriers and the new wave Middle East airlines. While I survived the ULH, if given a cheaper option, I wouldn't hesitate to say no to a one stop flight.

For this trip, believe it or not, I used a combination of a iPhone 5, a Nikon point and shoot and a Nikon D7100 DSLR. However, starting December (whenever I post those TRs... Rolling Eyes ) I used an iPhone 6 and my Nikon D7100. The pictures on the iPhone 6 have come out to be much better!

Yeah, I have seen that happen. Emirates once again set the standard in IFE with these epic HD screens.

Thanks for reading!

Thanks so much for reading, Nikhil!

Yep, I for one can't sleep at all, no matter how tired I am.. Oh well, Emirates' IFE is a winner!

Hi Sabya sir, its been a long time since I have heard from you!
I will definitely let you know when I'm in NYC! Smile

Thanks for your reply! The Emirates A380s are surely very comfortable Very Happy

Superb, Sir: I Was looking forward to getting a video feel of the landing into SFO, and of course, getting the feeling of being on the same trip...in the video TR! Thank you for taking the time out to edit so much of footage, with nice subtitles as well. It helped that I had read your text TR in detail, hence knew the basics, as well as specific portions to pay more attention to!
Cheers, Sumantra.
