  • Singapore Airlines brings Boeing 787 Dreamliner to Adelaide

    Oct 20, 2023, 01:37 PM

    These numbers are incorrect.The regional A350 has 40 business class seats, the 787 has 36.There are more economy seats though. 

  • Review: Virgin Australia’s new business, economy class seats

    Disappointed they didn’t mirror the flyDubai cabin. It would have cost them only two seats to have a cabin of 10 lie-flats in J. 

  • Qantas jets back to Rome in 2025

    Flew SYD-PER-FCO in Premium Economy. Business nearly full, premium and economy less than than half full.FA’s refused to do announcements in Italian (much to the chagrin of two ladies in the row ahead of me), which seemed unusual. These were packed full last season’s run.. co...

  • Delta ramping up to double-daily from Sydney to Los Angeles

    Jun 14, 2023, 05:58 PM

    Very little to do with the Rex tie-up. It is nowhere near as comprehensive as the VA joint venture was. Overwhelming majority of DL’s passengers terminate in Sydney. Of those connecting, less than half go onto Rex services. Many still connect onto VA and QF without codeshare. Ther...

  • Review: Virgin’s ‘new concept’ Boeing 737 business class

    Nov 11, 2021, 11:30 AM

    Look like they’ve re-upholstered the business class seats from the ex-Silkair 737s they recently took on. They’re comfy seats and a definite improvement on the old product. Good stuff.

  • What would you choose?

    Apr 26, 2023, 05:48 PM

    Absolute no brainer to take the second option in my opinion. It’s often difficult to find reward seats between Melb and LAX, I’d snatch them up before they disappear.Agree with Phil though - I’d head up to Sydney the evening prior for peace of mind. Re Qf10s comment: the evening...

  • Virgin Australia points with ANA via United

    Apr 26, 2023, 05:41 PM

    Unfortunately that’s not currently correct QF10. If the flight is operated by ANA, it is not possible to earn VA points or SCs at this point in time.However, it is likely the VA and ANA partnership will launch around the same time as the VA Haneda service. If you’re travelling after J...

    As a VA FF, I don't really disagree with Hrydicka's comments...I think it's reasonable to expect onboard offering to stay much the same. It was fairly efficient as it was. Maybe a slight downscale to business catering and a few tweaks to economy service? Mackay and Alice Springs and to a lesser e...

  • Which airlines are best bet for economy entry to Sydney

    Aug 31, 2020, 06:56 PM

    As others have said though, if it's affordable to you and your daughter- it may well be worth the extra $$ this time for J.
