• Pictures 1 and 3 are the A380 first class, the other pictures are the updated 747 first class. Both are nice, but I prefer the 747 for sleeping.

  • Normally it is a seperate course before the appetisers, regardless of what the passanger orders.

  • That's a lot of leg room in the second video!!!  Maybe the airline can display this etiquette?  But won't get my hopes up.I am strangly confused by the point of these videos.  I doubt either is going to change someone's behaviour.

  • Other airlines have had no issues with leather on their long-haul planes (NZ, SQ, VX etc).  If Qantas really believes it is a problem on the long flights, then maybe the domestic fleet should also follow.  It makes me wonder if it has more to do with the different shaping of the leather...

  • While both the domestic A330-200 and international A330-300 jets will carry 28 Business Suites, the domestic seats are clad covered in leather while the international ones will be clad in cloth. If they have a turn down service, then this really does not matter.  I'd much rather see a singl...

    The 777 is the backbone of the Emirates fleet.  This has been confirmed by the CEO multiple times.Another important point to remember is that Emirates is built upon the hub strategy, something which is used by low cost carriers for short haul overseas.  Emirates is special in that it is...

  • It only just landed...  It's also staggering you are jumping on this being a third party.  It sounds like you have some emotional investment.  There is another forum which deal much more with these issues.The aircraft that went tech was the one which just returned from an overhaul ...
