• Awfully uncomfortable seat when in bed mode. Not great for just relaxing either. Looks good tho. 

  • JAL has continued to serve NRT-MEL throughout COVID with a reduced schedule. So too, ANA with HND-SYD. ANA has made some cuts to its HND-SYD schedule and to some of its still-up-and-running European routes for the second quarter of 22. Even with Japan easing its entry requirements, I wouldn&rsquo...

    GoRobin, I believe the July increase in Singapore was all Delta variant, as it has been here, in NZ, and everywhere else, pretty much.

  • Good riddance. Terrible airline in every way except for that B777 captain I picked up in the Piazza del Popolo in 2002.

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

  • 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...
