• No 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...

  • So 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...

  • Sorry 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.

  • I'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.

  • My 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

    They 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.

  • You 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 ...

  • Two hours is the min connecting time at LAX so your 3 1/2 hrs should be easy.
