A cabin crew member immediately offers him a welcome drink and tote bag. He then proceeds to show the amazing features of his seat, which he explains is anti-gravity and inspired by the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

The Emirates first-class experience and costs

The man then shows the huge legroom, which has storage for luggage, and the gold-plated buckle on his seat belt. He also shows the olives and crisps that he received, and is told that he can get unlimited caviar. He then walks to the back and finds a bar behind the business class section, where people are enjoying drinks and champagne.

He gets a menu with a wide selection of food and drinks, and after eating, takes a shower in a massive bathroom on the plane, with a heated floor. After showering, he changes into his moisturising pyjamas, which were in the tote bag he was given. The man's return flight cost him $23,385 from New York to Dubai and $12,566 (R232,471) from Dubai to London.

"I’ve only flown once on Emirates business class, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it because I was on a 20-hour flight from Johannesburg to Washington, DC. Would I do it again? No! I regretted spending so much money on just a flight. The people in economy class also arrived with me, in fact, they even got to the immigration queue quicker than me 😭 😄."
