• I agree with boeing-tragic but the one part of this whole equation that the article only briefly alludes to is that Business seats, points or paid, are few and far between since the cabin only has 8 seats. I’ve only ever seen empty seats in J on really off peak short haul <90 m...

  • Good article and comparison.  I love what you said about Rex being akin to a domestic meal offering - yes back in 1984. But I like what they offer and don’t mind the recycle products. But as someone who pays for their fares, VA wins for me on Dom J. I NEVER thought I’d say that i...

  • Typical dog and cat owners.  Think only of themselves. I don’t hate dogs or cats and am happy to admire from afar, but I’m allergic to them and don’t want to be confined on a plane with them. I have been in a plane in the US and had to be moved due to asthma which was fine ...

  • I hardly see anyone watching the IFE these days, most are on their own device.  No IFE is smart and is the future esp if you can stream to your own device and recharge at the same time and not have to use this awful headsets. Buy some Bose noise cancelling and you’ll be laughing

As I looked at the sad ‘braised pork' on my tray, I mused, how far the mighty have fallen. No dessert or even a fresh salad and a redundant dessert spoon ...

    Emirates and NZ...my partner and I are flying Y, EK to NZ and we're QF Platinum and Gold. Does anyone know if we can use premium check-in and lounges in MEL and AKL because of our QF status?

    Hi Nick.  The term 'Business Class' is very generous from JQ.  The seats are fine for the day flight to SIN, but they are only marginally better than most Premium Economy seats and I don't think as good as QF J domestic. The food and wine is the same as up the back, it's just free and t...
