Sliding doors in business class: an open and shut case?
Sep 29, 2023, 04:01 PMI always keep the doors open; they are just a marketing gimmick giving the illusion of privacy. Unless they - and the aisle-side walls of the suite - are at least 190cm tall, then everyone walking past can see over the top of them anyway!

New Hawaiian Airlines 787 business class launches in April
Sep 08, 2023, 05:07 PMI think they look snug because of the doors being closed in that photo. Open the doors and the sense of space will be much improved. I find the F suites on EK to be similar.

When is a Lounge Pass Not a Lounge Pass
Aug 14, 2023, 10:02 AMYou can use your passes at the Qantas domestic lounge at PER. It's in the same building as the QF international flights. You'd just have to time your exit from the lounge to give you sufficient time to get through immigration and security.

Arrivals lounge and showers Heathrow?
