  • Review: Qantas A321XLR business, economy

    Sep 26, 2025, 04:34 PM

    Qantas has the 'snazzy ceiling lighting' I think. Not really fussed on 'monuments'. The cabin divider will come. Middle bathroom would have been nice.

    Spoke with a mate who found himself on the SYD-PER A321XLR, said before long there were queues for those two economy bathrooms :(

    Absolutely, A330 is always my first choice for any domestic flight even MEL-SYD let alone MEL-PER! Virgin's A330s are sorely missed, a great product and the competition was healthy for everybody.

    Adding my 'thanks' to David and ET for this amazing piece, especially the details and photos on economy legroom. Also think it's good you guys are 'positive' about a plane like the XLR but are also willing to call out a few shortcomings, compared to some people who just seem to complain about eve...

  • Alaska Airlines to launch non-stop Seattle-Sydney flights?

    Aug 25, 2025, 05:19 PM

    Oh, I would so be up for this! I hate having to transfer at LAX, or even SFO for that matter. All the extra time and hassle and faffing around, collecting and rechecking luggage, changing terminals, getting a domestic business class seat or worse economy on the final leg to Seattle.Stepping onto ...

  • A380 plus a dribble of 777'S

    Jul 15, 2021, 10:45 AM

    There's no such thing as this "Boeing 777-1000" you have mentioned. Are you talking about the Boeing 777X, which comes in either a 777-8 or 777-9 version?That aside, the Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 are all very different aircraft, and the degree of 'comfort' also depends on how an a...

  • Oneworld Emerald lounge recommendations for Narita, Heathrow

    Jul 20, 2019, 12:17 PM

    This sounds like a great trip, and it's a good example of when Oneworld lounge access based on your frequent flyer status comes in so handy! My advice would be:* Melbourne: Qantas first lounge. No contest!* Narita: JAL first class lounge. This has recently been renovated, I have heard it can get ...

  • How to fly to India with Qantas/Emirates

    Jul 03, 2019, 12:33 PM

    As mentioned, Qantas stopped flying to Dubai last year when it switched back to Singapore. For Oneworld I'd suggest Sri Lankan ex-Melbourne or Cathay Pacific via HKG.
