  • Vantage Solo business class hits the single-aisle suite spot

    But it will when Silk Air has been absorbed and rebranded as SQ

  • Qantas chooses Airbus A350-1000 for Project Sunrise

    Dec 13, 2019, 05:57 PM

    I'm not an expert on these matters but Singapore Airlines has been running ULR services on and off for years and must have built up a body of data about the effects on crew, surely?

  • Qantas chooses Airbus A350-1000 for Project Sunrise

    A350 is the best airliner in the air right now, hands down. I only fly QF domestically, but watch the company closely. This is a good choice and Sunrise will be a great business decision if it comes to fruition. Now I want UA nonstops to IAD and JFK from MEL.

  • Singapore Airlines goes flat-out on Aussie business class

    Nov 22, 2019, 05:09 PM

    There can be no doubt that the QF business seat on A330 routes to Singapore is considerably more comfortable than any SQ seat variant, 777ER, A350, 787-10 on the route. Dealing with ones legs is a real issue on SQ as is the hard seat without mattress topper in sleep mode. The 777 is not a great a...

  • United brings Polaris business class to Sydney

    Sep 27, 2019, 03:32 PM

    That's the general story about the 787 seats but UA is still adding 789s to the fleet, I think, ... certainly there are some that are only 1 year old ... so I don't understand why the ones built since Polaris was introduced about 2 years ago were not fitted with the new seating but will have to b...

  • United MileagePlus points sale

    One happening right now, I think. Up to 85% extra, which means at the high end of purchases.

  • Getting from JFK to Washington

    Jul 05, 2019, 05:20 PM

    Will you do US immigration at JFK? Look, personally, I would never tote 40 kilos of luggage from JFK to LGA. Even without bags, that trip is hard work with more hard work negotiating LGA and its constant delays and cancelations. The easiest way is to hop a DCA flight from JFK unless you’re ...

  • Which aircraft is best for an overnight flight: Airbus A330, A350, Boeing 777...

    A350. No contest. Very quiet in the pointy end. Great aircraft which leaves every other wide body in the exhaust of its RR Trents.

  • Business class: Qantas Airbus A80 vs United Boeing 787-9

    Jun 21, 2019, 04:19 PM

    Skybed II on A380 is rubbish. I haven’t had one that doesn’t need Viagra to prevent sagging and/or doesn’t malfunction. So uncomfortable. Lousy IFE technology. Food not bad, service very unpredictable. A380 always better to fly than any other equipment except A350 and 747-800. U...

  • Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-300ER Seating advice

    May 29, 2019, 03:18 PM

    12a is a great seat on the SQ 77W. I use it all the time. 11a has much better space for feet but these days it’s blocked out until shortly before departure.
