What to expect from Boeing 777-9 business class
Aug 31, 2022, 05:55 PMBoeing are going to have to lift their game - the current 777 is a plane we try to avoid. Way too noisy, like trying to sleep next to a Massey Ferguson tractor. And Lufthansa are crazy with their new layout - the current one is inconvenient and uncomfortable - but the new layout results in some s...

The Qantas Sydney, Melbourne First Class Lounge Guide [2022]
Mar 14, 2022, 02:50 PMAny news on Brisbane? I believe both Emirates and Qantas have shut their lounges, must be tight in whatever lounge is standing in. Have a trip planned in 5 weeks, first in over two years, a bit of good lounge experience would be a happy thing. Not sad about Narita lounge, the only good thing abou...

Will Airbus’ new ‘e-glass’ dimmable A350 windows spoil your view?
Sep 22, 2021, 04:50 PMLZ - I am happy if I can keep the window half open on a day flight, so take your QF 787 experience as a positive.

Sep 22, 2021, 03:27 PMNot happy! have chosen A350 in the past for the reason it has manual shades vs B787 with chromatic.

Which Programme is best to join - Swiss or Singapore
Mar 19, 2021, 04:36 PMHaving lived in Zuerich, I have had a lot of experience with the Swiss/Lufthansa Miles & More program over many years. It was terrific for intra-Europe flights when I lived there, both via purchase and points redemption especially given that Swiss, Austrian and Lufthansa have a lot of flight...

Greece to allow AUS tourists - an opportunity for Qantas?
May 22, 2020, 04:39 PMAs a frequent traveller to Athens, I for one would enjoy a direct service by Qantas, especially if that could be open jawed with another Euro city (not London). Despite it being, as you say, mainly a leisure destination, you would be surprised how many of us "leisureites" travel in business!
