Compared: Emirates A380 first class vs business class
May 28, 2023, 05:38 PMGood write-up, Sid.I did this exact leg (First/Bus) two weeks back to burn some EK points before they expired. It's really a no-brainer on the 380. Yes, with the QF First Lounge before hand, there is not much need to eat, but it's still a nice service.On the return, I had zero complaints. Not a p...

Etihad wows with Armani-enhanced business class
Oct 21, 2022, 02:58 PMEtihad had a cracking product there when they had Nicole Kidman up the front showing us how unique 'The Residence' was. I flew quite a bit in Bus and occasionally in the First 'Apartments' - yes nice indeed. But, my last trip was underwhelming. I'm not singing EK from the rooftops but it was just...

The rise of ‘business class-only’ airport lounges
Oct 20, 2022, 08:46 AMA good article that's giving us a spirited discussion. I think we all feel the significant downgrading in Qantas Lounges over the last 10-15yrs. Alas.

Garuda looks to scrap first class, axe most international routes
Sep 22, 2022, 06:01 AMYes, I know the airline wasn't run properly. But, Garuda was my preference in getting from SYD/DPS.I could get a decent BusClass seat, and take a board over 9' (you can't do that with anyone other than SQ now).

Aug 07, 2020, 05:40 PMOriginally Posted by drsimon50 I haven't spent as much as you but I totally agree will loose my platinum status obviously as I am not flying but no recognition or loyalty to me at all! Qatar will be my beneficiary now You could be in luck. QR are doing (or were) status match. QR Platinum will ope...

Emirates & Status Retention - The Bliss of Arrogance
Aug 05, 2020, 03:52 PMThere's nothing worse than a whinger. In our (Australian) culture, it's the person you run a mile from. So, with this in mind please forgive the forthcoming.Emirates lives in a world of blissful arrogance. Status Retention? No such thing. And, why, praytell, is that so? Simply because EK expects ...

Qatar's Doha business class lounge is so busy!
Jul 03, 2019, 02:49 PMYes regretfully QR hasn't managed to find a balance between Al Safwa & Al Mourjan access. One is an empty ballroom, the other a Tokyo subway.

First class to Europe: Etihad vs Singapore Airlines
May 15, 2019, 02:36 PMGood question. If you're on your own I'd say EY. It's a wonderful product and for the long haul, hard to beat. The Apartment is the bee's knees. I do disagree with the commentary about the Lounge. The First EY Lounge I'd take over the SQ Private Room. If they know you are in First you will be wel...

Malabo! That's Right, Malabo.
Feb 13, 2019, 03:07 PMNow you're probably searching high & low for Malabo. It's in Equatorial Guinea (known as EG). We've won work here for the next 12-18 months and I need to get people from Australia (SYD, MEL, BNE, PER, ADL) into Malabo (SSG).Does anyone here (and I could find nothing in Search) have any experi...
