What’s it’s like to fly in the Qantas A220
May 19, 2024, 04:46 PMNo way I'll be spending my hard earned Business Class cash to fly internationally on an A220. On a short domestic like Canberra - Melbourne for sure but on international its widebody or nothing. Why on earth would anyone pay for a 737/A220 Business seat to, say, Auckland when for the same price o...

Review: Qantas vs Virgin Australia business class, Sydney-Melbourne
Oct 14, 2023, 12:17 AMSo your writer just happened upon an A330 flight. Yeah, nah. Given how few of these exist and often at wired times I'm prepared to suggest it was a purposeful choice.On a straightforward 737-800 comparison, which should also have included Rex, Rex wins in price, starting $100 less than Virgin. If...

Review: Rex Airlines Saab 340 economy class (Ballina to Sydney)
Oct 03, 2023, 05:03 PMSorry but given I can do that route in a virgin 737 for a similar price there's no way I'd bounce my way down in a slow Saab much as I admire Rex.

Review: Philippine Airlines Airbus A321neo business class Brisbane-Manila
Jan 17, 2022, 02:40 PMI'd be interested to know how steady the flight was. I fear the greater use of single aisle aircraft on midhaul routes as smaller aircraft tend to rock and roll more in turbulence. So given the choice of an single aisle versus a nice big Airbus or Boeing widebody, I'll take the latter every time.

Review:
Jan 02, 2022, 01:06 AMYou missed one vital point. The lounge has no bathrooms. To use the loo you must let yourself out of the lounge by pressing the exit button on the door, visit the loo in a nearby gate lounge, and then find a roaming staffmember to let you back into the lounge as there is no entry button and no pe...

Business class passengers using the economy loo?
Dec 14, 2018, 10:28 AMA little surprised as I see references to Y and J in many other posts, and presume that business travellers would know these two codes, but fair enough I guess.

Business class passengers using the economy loo?
Dec 14, 2018, 10:10 AMMy wife and I are doing eight hours in the QF A330-200 with its pretty ordinary single loo for 28 business class pax. Is there anything that would impede a business passenger from going back and using an economy loo, if our one business loo had a queue? I've read that Qantas rarely stops people c...

Aircraft swap and downgrade ADL-PER
Jul 17, 2018, 01:56 PMThey only use the 717 ADL-PER twice a week (Fri & Sun) but surprised they use an Economy only 717 on a 3 1/2hr flight, particularly as a 1720hrs flight must be a very popular business flight. I like the 717 and the ones with J class are comfortable.

Any way to upgrade discount economy to business?
Jul 17, 2018, 01:49 PMYou might be able to do it by cancelling the original flights, rebooking into a points upgradable fare and then reissuing the original tickets by paying the change fee and additional airfare collection. You'd retain the same penalties of the original fare but I think would be allowed to apply to ...
