Next lot of AY flights posted 5 to 6 days later. Happy with that.

First set of flights came through after a week. 8 days to be exact.

You need zolpidem or zopiclone, my friend! I use zolpidem when I want to get at least 6 hours of solid sleep. I used it on my last flight and ended up sleeping 7-8 hours on the 13-hour flight and I was not jet-lagged at all! I agree that being comfortable is important. Worst J seat I've...

I'm a good sleeper and don't even need eye shades or ear plugs! Do you take any sleeping tablets to help you sleep on the flight?

I'd definitely go with 2A/2L on their A350 and 1A/1L on their A330. I'm a good sleeper, so any noise or light from the galley doesn't wake me up. My only criticism of the seat is the seatbelt positions when you're lying flat. They literally strap you in so it's quite uncomfortable. I don't have...

No, the reverse herringbone seats are the ones you find on airlines like VN, CI, BA and VA widebodies previously. They are narrow and when in flat mode, push you further into the footwell leaving you less room to bend your knees when on your side. That's why I like AY's seat so much. I'm also...

Same with me. That's why I like the seat because it's wide enough for both. Those reverse Herringbone ones are definitely the ones you have to pick if you hsve a preferred side you sleep on.

I love Finnair's AirLounge seat. I love how wide it is and it's great for side sleepers like me. Just did 13 hours on their A350 from HKG to HEL and I slept well, continuously and solidly for almost 8 hours of it! Sat in 2L, which has a larger footwell. The lack of recline doesn't bother me at...

The pumpkin was actually quite nice!

Lunch on QF127 (SYD-HKG) earlier this week.

It's been 5 days since my first AY flight (of which there were 3 in total) and still nothing in my account.

Can confirm that pyjamas were offered on the day flight on SYD-HKG (QF127) earlier this week.

Just took a bunch of AY flights, so let's see how long these take to post.

Another tasty meal, this time from SYD to PER on VA559 a week ago. Roast chicken with roasted potatoes and broccoli.

ZL really need to get the transcons going. PER-SYD/MEL/BNE. It will significantly improve the connectivity with their regional flights on both sides of the continent and also provide much needed competition which should drive prices down a bit. The current fares for the transcon flights on QF...

Another go at the roast chicken with creamed corn for lunch on the PER-SYD flight a few days ago. Just as tasty like last time. Went nicely with a g&t.

There should be penalties for drivers doing that nonsense! Luckily that kind of thing has only happened to me twice.

Thoroughly enjoyed the grilled chicken with creamed corn on VA562 (PER-SYD). The dessert wasn't that nice though.

You'd think they'd also provide a pillow and blanket for the transcontinental red-eyes in business, especially when they are so expensive and longer than the trans-tasman flights!

I just don't understand the thinking behind not providing lounge access for business class or high status passengers when flying internationally, especially on their longest route (CNS-HND) using a narrowbody aircraft! In what universe is that acceptable? I will never choose to fly VA...
