• I much prefer flying airlines that limit access to lounges according to the class of travel. QF First is already expensive enough that the value proposition is immediately downgraded the minute you walk into a crowded First lounge.  It is even worse if you are flying Business class and have ...

  • Thank you, that is very much appreciated.  As someone who is 6’5”, I find that two seats with equal pitch but different widths makes a dramatic difference to general comfort as well as being able to keep slight movement in my legs on a long flight. 

  • Hi David, could I please make a humble request that you ask the airlines, and include in the article, what the seat width is. It is very important information for judging the comfort of the seat. 

  • This is very true Flying mermaid.  Revenue F passengers are so relatively unusual for Qantas that they do not really know how to treat them, and, understandably, are not changing their business model to try.  There are few F routes, and they are mostly full of points upgraders and staff...

  • This can be an unpopular sentiment on this forum, but the Lounge does not do enough to make passengers flying in First feel special.
