What meals are Qantas, Virgin serving in business class?
Dec 17, 2020, 11:33 AMReally looks cheap, Virgin better be making sure to tell every passenger this is just temporary and then they better get moving on launching this new business class in January. Keep the great fares but upgrade the meal, it doesn't have to come close to what Qantas has, just make it worthy of bein...

Virgin's Canberra lounge to reopen, The Club still in doubt
Dec 17, 2020, 11:28 AMIf Virgin closed the Canberra lounge it would see most of the public service and politicians and 'consultants' head straight over to Qantas.

Dec 17, 2020, 11:23 AMNot surprised to see BA up stumps until the end of 2021, they can always come back sooner but realistically it will take until then for the bulk of Australians and Brits who want to travel to be vaccinated. Qantas has also said it doesn't expect to bring back London until the end of next year.

Virgin Australia firms up Boeing 737 MAX order
Dec 09, 2020, 12:03 PMI can see the case for something better than today's VA Boeing 737 business class on east-west flights, especially to close the gap against the Qantas A330 Business Suite, although I think that's all Bain would want to do, not compete directly against Qantas in product. So I can see that somethin...

BA brings its Boeing 787-9 to Sydney, Singapore
Dec 08, 2020, 09:12 AMIf you're talking about travellers from London, it's simply a fact that BA is the automatic airline of choice for so many Brits, just like Qantas is for so many Aussies.

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...
