This is fantastic! Never got the chance to fly Ansett or Australian Airlines (pre QANTAS merger) so these retro reports help fill in the gap, so to speak. That refreshment is still better than what I'm routinely offered when flying economy in QANTAS and Virgin on my regular trips back to Australia t...
Jump to postI was incredibly surprised when I flew DL JFK to SXM last week that even some international flights do not get lounge access for J pax. As an Australian, that's pretty much unheard of. I know.....surprising isn't it? As a frequent foreign visitor to Australia without QF or VA status, I got so used ...
Jump to postHello Carfield, and thanks for this insightful view into JL regional service and Kona airport. What can I say except that I'm disappointed at the sub-par service you received from check-in right through to inflight catering and afterwards, the connections issue! It was this last point about having t...
Jump to postThanks for the trip report, I do think we are lucky in Australia to have such great airlines, although the price, especially premium classes does reflect this! jrfspa320, Very well said! Absolutely spot on when you say we're lucky to have such terrific airlines in Australia. I am not a blind advoca...
Jump to post"U excpected 2 meals on a flight that is less than 6hrs? That's laughable." QueenoftheSkies, As Akinsoul pointed out, there are still premium airlines out there which provide a meal soon after take-off and a 'snack' prior to landing, even on medium haul flights. And sometimes, these 'snack...
Jump to postHi Ryanair, Thanks for this TR. I missed out on sampling MH's new biz class when I had to give up the return leg of my SIN - KUL - SYD ticket last year. I've been wondering every since what I missed out on. But thankfully, your report has remedied that. I love MH cabin crew service, and your report ...
Jump to postThanks for the report. Just what I was looking for since I'll be flying UA to experience their Polaris business class offering. I must say, right from the beginning that the blue tablecloth is ugly and very cheap looking. Its only a small detail, but I think in premium cabins, its the details that m...
Jump to postWhat a great TR! It was interesting to see what a recent Emirates economy experience is like after reading so many reports focused on business and first. I agree that the economy cabin is far less 'blinged-out' and therefore, in my opinion, not tacky like their business cabin. But each to their own....
Jump to postGreetings from Papua New Guinea, and thank you for posting this very informative TR. Thanks to your input I'm scrapping AC as an option to travel from Sydney to Vancouver. Like you, I'm a mostly loyal *Alliance member (with SQ) , but there's no way I'm spending good money on this product. I'll take ...
Jump to postHello VXCabinCrew. What an interesting read because it chimes in with my own experiences on EY. I was lucky to fly AUH-LHR return in First Class (old FC on a 777) and was truly amazed by the service. Makes me look forward to trying the new FC. But on other flights in Business from BNE - SIN and AUH ...
Jump to postHello VXCabinCrew, Thank you for this <acronym title="Air New Zealand">NZ</acronym> report.

Jump to postEL-AL, Thank you for this <acronym title="Transbrasil SA Linhas Aereas">TR</acronym>.

Jump to postHello AirAfreak, Wow, I certainly did get peckish reading this <acronym title="Transbrasil SA Linhas Aereas">TR</acronym>, just like you predicted. Quality of catering is the first yardstick by which I assess an airline; and Delta looks much better than expected! Having said that, Delta has never be...

Jump to postHey Tigerguy. Thanks for this. I enjoy reading these US domestic <acronym title="Transbrasil SA Linhas Aereas">TR</acronym>'s - something different from the usual.

Thanks for a nice report, as usual. I had no idea QantasLink still flew these birds! I've never been on one and now I have a good reason to go. Looking forward to more of your TRs soon....
