  • Review: Review: Air New Zealand Boeing 787 Business Premier class [2021]

    May 09, 2021, 08:56 AM

    I find it interesting how some think this is the worst Business Class seat - I would have thought the British Airways seat until 2 years ago would be worst...even less storage than Air NZ seat, more cramped and looking straight at the FACE of the other passaenger.Having said that, this is a very ...

  • Qantas to close service desks at airports, lounges

    Mar 06, 2021, 06:27 AM

    So for what it is worth - it is now 6:20 AM on a Saturday - Sydney Domestic - Qantas terminal:No staff at even the check-in desks - not just service desks.  100% self-check-in. The Qantas ground staff told me this applies even if you are P, P1 or Chairman's Lounge.Qantas Club closed on weeke...

  • American Express unveils new expanded Sydney lounge [2019]

    Oct 18, 2019, 04:59 AM

    I believe this response is incorrect. Melbourne does NOT have an American Express lounge but lounges operated by other operators such as "Plaza Premium". These are not Amex affiliated lounges but you may get access if you have Priority Pass etc.

  • The 4 Best Noise-Cancelling Headphones for Flying [Review]

    Jul 26, 2018, 04:26 PM

    Hi, I have the Bose and they support both bluetooth and cable connection. I use the cable connection when connecting to IFE. If you trying to use Bluetooth on the IFE that is not possible - although I am told there are adaptors one can buy

  • BOM Express Arrivals/Departures

    I thought there was a Business / Premium immigration line but it was just as slow... the trick I learned was to walk really quickly from plane to immigration. You will find the locals walk very quickly - keep up :-)

  • Is Singapore Changi Airport quieter than usual lately?

    Feb 10, 2020, 11:47 AM

    My parents came through Changi last week and they said it was remarkably quiet from its usual.... the words they used were "near empty compared to normal Changi"

  • Qantas Premium Economy and International Service. What Service???

    Jan 22, 2020, 12:48 AM

    I am shocked by this ... I have flown long distance many times (as I assume have many of the readers of ET) - not many airlines let 10 hours go by without some water service - I just done a 3 hour flight and they did it twice.In ANYCASE, Qantas PE has a self-service area where you could have help...

  • Qantas rants

    Jun 25, 2019, 05:37 AM

    I think, Qantas (and Australian aviation) gets a bad rap too often. We seem to forget the quality (as compared to US domestic / Intra-Europe) and the world leading safety records but whinge on small things. So in the spirit of it - here are some good Qantas stories from my experiences.(1) Econo...

  • Flying with a baby in Qantas First Class

    Oct 09, 2018, 05:51 AM

    Hi Chris,I thought I would just give you a Solo traveller perspective - I noticed a lot of the responses are from parents.Firstly, you and your child have the right to be in the cabin as much as anyone else. Secondly, 95% of the time I have not had any concerns about a parent with a young child....
