Review: British Airways’ new Boeing 777-300ER first class suites
Aug 11, 2021, 08:47 PMWith respect, I would encourage readers to focus on what the man in the seat is actually saying.1. Make a list of his negatives as he experienced them (they are fair, practical and precise).2. Imagine a long haul flight with BA F in this seat from his perspective.3. Ask yourself whether this is a...

Qantas Boeing 737 business class guide: seats, lounges and more [2021]
Jul 09, 2021, 10:58 PMIt will never be ethical or fair for Qantas to charge the same fare in J for the PER-SYD/MEL/BNE (and return) legs on the A330 vs the 738, especially on the red eye!

Feb 11, 2019, 08:56 PMI receive online surveys after almost 50% of my flights - some issues have been dealt with well internally and I have been offered a solution as quickly as the return leg. With other matters (eg., the inconsistent, often chaotic boarding process), there is rarely a response.
