Compared: Qantas vs Virgin Boeing 737 business class

Mar 13, 2020, 06:42 PM

I cannot comment on VA's 737 Business product as have never flown it. But I did fly them in Business for the first time recently from SYD to PER on the A330, a route i've done on QF more times than I can count.When I arrived at the Virgin terminal at SYD I was thinking to myself i'd made a big m...
Heathrow Express upgrades its high speed 15-minute ride

While the 'walk on' fares are pretty steep it's like almost any travel based system these day - book online, well in advance and you get far cheaper fares. I paid £5.50 for my one way ticket the other week! Leave it to the day, and you'll get hit in the face (and no different if you do the same...

BA did the same earlier with a retired B747. Sent each staff member a baggage tag made from the aircraft.
Review: Qantas Airbus A380 first class

Wawanderer - you've hit the nail on the head. Yep, the published First Class fare can be ridiculously high. But, as you rightly point out - how many of the 14 sat up there are paying it? Not many. You only have to look at how many airlines have completely gotten rid of the product altogether. A...

I'm amazed they didn't install wifi while the jets were in the hangar getting a refurb.

Qantas is cracking down on illegal buying & selling of frequent flyer points

Sorry if a little OT but kind of along the same lines....something that I find absolutely incredulous about domestic travel in OZ (well with QF anyway) and that i've not witnessed anywhere else in the world is the ability to get onboard an aircraft without once showing any form of ID. Which has ...
Business class passengers using the economy loo?

When I fly on Malaysian's A330's in J they have a pretty weird J class config.....there are 30 J seats in the forward cabin. On most aircraft the 30 seats would occupy the whole cabin between the front galley and the galley at doors 2. But on MH they've squeezed the 30 seats into a smaller area...

JAL Apex suites. Direct aisle access for all. Forward facing. Very private. No silly rabbit hutches or crevices to fit your feet into.
When are Malaysia Airlines Kuala Lumpur lounges re-opening?

Jan 29, 2018, 09:33 PM

Agree to a point guys. But in CX and QF's case at least they gave a decent amount of notice that the opening date wouldn't be met. And thankfully there were other decent alternatives in T3 also. The frustrating thing with MH is that since the closure for renovations they have been publishing a re...

Hey folks,Does anyone have any insider info as to when the main MH lounges in KUL will re-open?Up until yesterday the Malaysia Airlines website had posted that the lounge would be closed from Oct 2017 - 29Jan 2018. I noticed today the 29Jan 2018 has now been removed and there is no 'end' date to...
