The best in new business class for 2026
Jun 02, 2026, 10:23 AMOver the years I have had the opprtunity to fly First and Business Class with quite a few Airlines. Most were very good but the ones I did not enjoy were the " angled " ones. Good for space saving but very uncomfortable for long flights. Most had very small foot rest areas and were claustrophobic...

Finnair to launch Melbourne-Helsinki flights
Dec 18, 2025, 04:51 PMNo, I have not travelled with Finnair but the reviewer obviously did and it's not a very favourable report at all. My comments are justifiably valid base on a respected experienced reviewer such as David Flynn.

Finnair to launch Melbourne-Helsinki flights
Dec 18, 2025, 02:18 PMFinnair can't be any choice at all for a Business Class flight with seats like this.I cannot imagine long haul in such an advanced aeroplane as the A350 that does not have a reclining Business Class seat. NO WAY I would even give a moments thought to any Business Class seat that does not re...

Virgin Australia slashes carry-on cabin baggage allowance
Oct 15, 2025, 03:30 PMI see from some photos and news stories that VA have NOT put cabin dividers in a lot of their refitted aircraft STILL. This alone would enable , or attempt to try , some economy pax to use the business class overhead lockers which I have seen happen many times. The lack of these dividers re...

Virgin is keeping its 737 business class ‘shower curtain’
Aug 22, 2025, 02:49 PMWhat a shame that VA no longer have their A330's. Their Business Class product on the A330 was extremely good with wonderful seats and such great service. Unfortunately their current fleet and product is vastly inferior to the A330's still I guess that's all they have to work with. It would even ...

Cabin Divider
Oct 12, 2024, 01:10 PMI see from the comments that I’m not the only one who is not happy with this. But ..... I guess you can’t rush things along . Poor old VA have only had about 18 months+ to sort it out and make a decision. Obviously in the “too hard basket” or they simply don’t reall...

Cabin Divider
Sep 29, 2024, 06:24 AMHave VA installed a cabin divider on their newest B737's? Last time I flew on one ( Jan ) with the new seats the cabin divider wasn't fitted. VA have said they would put one in soon after the first trial of the new style seats and that was almost 2 years ago .

Does VA take its most frequent fliers for granted?
Jun 24, 2024, 02:43 PMWe have to face reality. Since VA's re birth it has emerged as a low cost carrier and is now noway near as good as it was prior to the restart and is no longer offering a high class service IMOP. I guess " we gets what we pays for " and whilst their service is adequate it's far down market fr...

VA's refurbed birds… opinions?
Mar 01, 2024, 07:34 AMA few months ago I did a flight on one of them from Brisbane to Perth.I did not think the new seat was not any better than the old one and found the tray table was very close to my body. Overall I think the new seats are not a big enough improvement overall to warrant the cost. The problem with t...
