What’s it’s like to fly in the Qantas A220
Feb 22, 2024, 11:55 AMDavid, an excellent review of the new A220-300. However, there is one point missing from the review. Can you confirm whether Qantas [has / has not] opted for the slightly wider seat width in the Y class 'E' seats ? This feature (if implemented) allows the middle-seat passengers an extra inch...

International Qantas flights get fast, free WiFi
Feb 22, 2024, 11:26 AMFinally, about time !Yes, we all know Qantas wants passengers to have a superior WiFi experience.
