With two TVs, a fully flat bed, and even fresh flowers, we need to score an upgrade, stat.
Of all the people in the world, we really wouldn’t mind trading day jobs with Casey Neistat.
The US YouTube personality (who currently boasts more than 8 million subscribers) gets to travel the world, try out some of the newest hi-tech gadgets and—most envy-inducingly—test the most luxurious flight experiences on offer.

Ellen DeGeneres is sending more than 400 people on a luxury trip to Dubai
One of the professional vlogger’s most-viewed videos—with a staggering 48 million views—is his review of Emirates A380 first class cabin, which he trialled last year.
So it’s hardly surprising that Neistat was keen to test out the Dubai-based airline’s newest A-list experience, the private first-class suites on its fleet of Boeing 777s.
The 36-year-old scored a seat on a recent flight from Brussels to Dubai, and has shared his thoughts in a new video:
The journey time is just shy of seven hours, but that was more than enough time for Neistat to explore the cabin’s 40 square feet of space.
Before the aircraft had even taken off, the star was impressed.
“This feels more like a small but extremely elegant hotel room than it does an airplane seat,” he said, after sinking into the leather chair.
Neistat also gave a nod to the suite’s two TVs, two closets, personal mini bar, and video-calling technology among the space’s highlights.
The new suites are also completely closed off with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors (hello total privacy), with a little service window where passengers can be served food and drink relatively undisturbed.
There are also in-suite binoculars to explore the skies in detail, and virtual windows for suites in the middle aisle (where passengers will get a real-time view at the landscape from cameras fitted outside the aircraft).

The design of the suites has been inspired by the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a vehicle which first-class passengers will get a ride to and from the airport in as part of their ticket.
The revamped Boeing 777s are currently operating on routes to Geneva and Brussels from Dubai (so we’re now mulling over a new year trip to Europe).
We’ll be the ones loitering around the first-class checkins, just hoping for an upgrade…
