Airbus A321XLR to shake up business travel
Jun 18, 2019, 09:02 PMIt's funny how some people think that this plane will be too small to fly longer routes when the Boeing 757 does it all the time at the moment across the Atlantic with various airlines and the British Airways' even smaller all Business Class (2+2) Airbus A318 flies regularly from London City Airp...

Emirates teases 'sleeperette' premium economy
Dec 22, 2018, 08:25 AMThis has been a long time coming for Emirates and a great idea - it's the one thing that has put me off flying with them recently and I bet the seat and service will be will be amazing as I personally think their economy (which I flew two years ago) was by far and away the best economy seat (on a...

Qantas rules out A350-900ULR
Aug 23, 2018, 09:51 PMThis is great news ! The A350-1000ULR will be just the right size for Qantas, lighter than the 777-8 and with a newer airframe and technology and far more adaptable for other routes and missions especially coupled with the A350-900, as opposed to the 777-8 which will be too niche. Also Airbus hav...

Jun 06, 2018, 08:36 PMI think this is a great idea - there are a lot of "cashed up middle aged flyers" that would happily pay a premium to sit up the front of a Jetstar flight knowing it's not a real Business Class but just appreciating the extra room and not wanting to sit down the back - especially on routes where t...

Qantas mulls new airline class, exercise areas
Mar 28, 2018, 09:57 AMSadly this just tells me that both Boeing and Airbus are years away from producing a viable economical aircraft for Qantas' ultra long routes at its current requirements. It looks like Qantas is beginning to realise that it's demands are too high and is back peddling now with advertising hyperbol...

Mar 30, 2019, 08:32 AMHi there,Yes we actually paid for Premium Economy on the Qantas 787 leg from Perth to London (hoping to get a points upgrade to Business which we didn't ) and it was excellent !

Reader review: Vietnam Airlines A350 premium economy, Melbourne-HCMC
Mar 19, 2019, 10:03 PMThoroughly enjoyed flying Vietnam Airlines Business Class a couple of years ago and that was on the old A330 so I would imagine the new 787 and A350 are far superior with just as great service and value. A very good way to fly to Europe from Sydney for example and splurge on PE or Business Class....

Best Over-seas destinations for under about 1500 per person for flights
Sep 08, 2015, 10:04 AMVietnam ! Amazing country , cheap direct flights with Vietnam Airlines from Sydney and I think you can pay a bit extra to put in for an upgrade - well worth it.
