Have had a half-dozen flights on lie-flat J seats, I was able to manage probably about 2hrs straight of sleep before waking-up again & lying there, eventually falling asleep again ... probably getting a total of maybe 5hrs in a 12hr leg. Only had 2 flights on slightly-canted lie-almost-flat J...

No, China Airlines not Air China … Air China is full-on Communist Party spec, your seat-neighbour will be carrying a box full of live chickens! I made the Air China mistake a few weeks after booking China Airlines tickets, had a mild panic when it couldn’t find my reservation before I realised I...

Something else I might throw into the mix, offering even more options & maybe making it more confusing; 2nd-tier airlines can have business class fares for less than top-tier offers premium economy. My wife & I flew to London on 2018 on China Airlines (which is actually Taiwanese so not...

I don‘t think so, I think their software “pretends” to be a random number - they don’t need a SIM.

That had not previously occurred to me @MARTINE … but I suspect I’m going to start using it in that fashion! :)

Hmmm … you may just have explained the issue with narrow-bodies that I didn’t previously understand for long-haul!

Having flown internationally quite infrequently, there’re none of the carry-on space issues as domestic are there? What’s the positive of extending your seated-in-squeezy-Y-seats time period?

Wonder if, to describe by example, you could turn-up at the airport really late & see the stupidly long Etihad queue, so head for the priority queue and pay your US$40?

I certainly agree with you in context of the original post, was just answering the direct question. :) I do think if we want to compare apples to apples it's a "premium economy" offering HOWEVER we're really comparing apples in an orange cart to apples in a rhubarb cart, so in context of the...

I've been waiting for someone to poast "bought a Bonza ticket" in here since Tuesday ... :)

At least one of the Asia-based LCC's is, for example: https://www.airasia.com/aa/inflight-comforts/en/gb/premium-flatbed.html I'm less sure of this bit, but I think other LCC's have a very similar product but call it "business", but that's just marketing 'cos it costs like the above (or...

Australian Be Right Back … how can something named after a visit to a toilet not be legit?!

^ Woof indeed!

Not an allocation stuff-up, but a borked Y seat which wouldn’t stop reclining … can’t recall which US carrier it was, but this happened to Dad’s seat so they bumped Mum & Dad up to a pair of J seats. Again, doubt it would happen today. They were especially happy as some foozball team had done...

I dread to think what the FA’s with the airline-branded foot-removal machetes noted in the Feet On The Bulkheads thread would do with the posterior of the person who pooped in the basin …

I can see why, if someone actually DOES think they’re all the same (eg. a thin person of sub-average stature who cares not for the window or potty access), the same someone might decide “meh I’ll sit here”. But yeah regardless of whether they believe it or not, it’s worth asking the FA ‘cos not...

^ At least that’s a novel concept! :)

As a loather of gerlytrux, you’ve made me feel better - I’ve never seen that Toyota ad for pox before! The old “bugger” Toyota ads, they were solid. ”Living in the back of the car” ads for MrBishi, they could’ve used the tagline “cars for the homeless”. We keep seeing the Automotive...

I doubt there’s that much thought put into it @AustraliaPoochie … it’s supposed to make targets of any type click on the attachment, before thinking about it or researching what it’s going on about.

Is it wise to leave Qantas FF (“La Famiglia”) without looking back? Unless you can get into WitSec … ?
