Review: Virgin Australia 777 business class to Doha)
Jun 19, 2025, 05:05 PMQR business class meals are amazing.

But this is to QR's a...

Review: Virgin Australia 777 business class to Doha)
Jun 19, 2025, 05:03 PMEmirates was against premium economy for the longest time but caved, I reckon Qatar might do the same, previous CEO was against it but now Emirates has it, Riyadh Air will have it, I wouldn't be surprised if QR launched premium economy on the 777X as that's still a good few years away.

Review: Virgin Australia 777 business class to Doha)
Jun 19, 2025, 05:00 PMDefinitely 'win-win' pus a 'win' for consumers. Apparently QR paid $1 billion for that 25% stake in VA, definitely money that Virgin needs but also a good set-up for the IPO that's about to happen, as it prices the airline at a whole at $4 billion and gives confidence to other investors.

Inflight feast: Virgin Australia's new business class menu
Nov 15, 2024, 11:10 AMYeah, you would think VA would let you choose some free things from the economy menu as an alternative, eg a main, a side, a dessert and a drink. Same make-up as the business class meal.

Which aircraft is best for an overnight flight: Airbus A330, A350, Boeing 777...
Jun 26, 2019, 02:40 PMOriginally Posted by Grannular What cabin? What airline? Sorry, it would be business class. I'm flexible on the airline, it's just that having to step off a 'red-eye' flight and pretty much go straight to work means I really need to make sure I get a good sleep. I appreciate that each airline ha...
