Would it make sense to refresh some A380s while they are stagnant?

Different strokes...Not everyone places such an emphasis on the hard product.No one airline will ever please everyone with their First product (from check-in to boarding experience, lounge to aircraft transfer and in-flight experience).For some their astonishing wine list (Mount Mary Cabernet, Pi...
Review: Qantas Airbus A380 first class

Completely agree with the steady decline in food and wine over the years (Qantas used to serve a "6-pack" of Sydney rock oysters with French champagne on some of its international config 767's from Sydney to Perth in the old days!).

Singapore Airlines' new Boeing 777X first, business class

With respect to SQ's design has Goh been asked or specifically commented on the footwell?

The feeling I got was that this offer is in a "trial" phase (I have not read a formal offer on a frequent flyer website endorsed by QR) and I suspect that if large numbers of persons present for it, they will withdraw it.

1. Thought readers may wish to know (apologies if already on this site) that J passengers are now "at the managers discretion" able to pay for access to the Al Safwa F lounge, previously restricted to Qatar F and One World F passengers. On 16/1/2019 I paid 500 Qatari Riyal for 2 persons for 6 hou...
