  • Qantas Virgin Australia American United business class Sydney to US

    Have flown VA twice up front, both times in row 5 - brilliant service and very private. The upcoming refresh for me makes it the clear winner. The only downside for me -living in Melbourne - is having to route via SYD or BNE, which means using the often crowded Air New Zealand lounge

  • Is Sydney to London - via Beijing - a good option?

    Apr 24, 2019, 09:23 PM

    I’ve just booked VS from LHR to PVG and am stopping over for 2 nights in Shanghai. Hopefully there will be plenty of stuff to do (any ideas are welcome). We’re then flying Cathay Dragon to HKG and then to SYD in QF F. Looking forward to it - even if the QF reviews suggest it’s n...
