Agree, they said they will replace the 787 with A350s and given the demand across all premium cabins on this route the 350 with extra J and Y+ it'll help. They are also generally short of 787s so those on this route could be put to good use elsewhere. Not sure what the demand for F out of Perth...

I agree but I wonder if this is changing? Historically premium classes were full of business travellers and coming back from London you could lose 1 working day by leaving LHR at night, arriving in SYD/MEL 2 days later early AM. Or, take the lunchtime departure from Heathrow and lose 2 working...

The old QF32 leaving SIN at 0830 arriving in SYD at 1900(?) was perfect, particulary when a points upgrade to F came through. For whatever reason it was always easy to get upgraded to F on that flight, and the all day menu was fantastic. They had a similar day flight from HKG to MEL I think...

QF did mention at last results they are investing in the F catering and service - I wonder if anyone on here has had any indication about the improvements? Or will we consider this an "enhancement"

Thanks Jamesatfish for the QF2 menu. Although I gotta say I think I'd be filling up in the Qantas London lounge with its excellent food rather than eating off that supper menu.!

Can they use dry ice to store the meals for the return leg? BA does this in Europe for aircraft nightstopping - the breakfasts for the next days early morning flight are loaded in London and stored overnight in the aircraft using dry ice.

I've got a LHR>SIN>BKK ticket on QF/3K and despite numerous emails saying they'll review and be in contact with alternative flights, all thats happened is the 3K flight no longer shows in MMB. Hoping they'll reroute LHR>BKK direct on Thai or Eva. lets see.

Is there really enough demand for 4 x daily flights to LHR? 2 x Sunrise flights (MEL, SYD) and a flight each from Perth and Singapore(starting either in Syd, Mel or Bne) Some of the current SIN-LHR QF1/QF2 traffic is already fed from flights from Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane. Much of that...

Next time Qantas talks about net zero and carbon emissions remind them of this unnecessary flight!

Given the layout of T3 I'm not sure where they can have direct boarding to the plane from the lounge, unless they take over the Emirates lounge near gates 1 -5. And that is v unlikely to happen. The rest of terminal is mostly narrow concourses (often with low ceiling heights) with no room for a...

BA has the same issue with some nightstop flights, it uses dry ice to keep the food chilled overnight before it gets heated on the early morning flight.

Hello - I recently made a change to a business class fare ex Bangkok, it wasnt ticketed for a week and when I chased them they sent it to the BKK office and it was promptly ticketed - got new ticket number. Interestingly, the fare rules stipulate a fee for changes which was discussed with call...

The F galley space hasnt changed though.

Interesting. First class services takes an inordinate amount of time, dont think they've made any recent changes to try and improve speed like they have in J, but what I dont get is it never used take so long to serve meals - back in the halcyon days of QF F i.e. 2010 or so. Back then they had...

Good question. Prehaps with daily 380 flights to LAX from SYD and MEL, along with JNB and maybe HND and HKG. Maybe DFW as well. These could sustain the 380 fleet but the question arises if Sunrise starts to JFK from MEL and SYD would QF need as much capacity to DFW and LAX!

I do wonder if they'll continue sending A380s via SIN once the first Sunrise flight commences. Do they have the demand? Most of the higher fare F and J classes will move to the Sunrise flights so I'm not sure if it'll be worth it to send a A380 with lower paying F/J passengers along with a lot...

It's more the cost of these BA fares ex London! They are not cheap, and premium leisure customers much more price sensitive than corporate ones. Just can't see how the overall BA proposition - including this change - makes them more appealing to premium leisure customers. Connecting from...

The thing is I don't think there are that many high spending leisure travellers for BA, and the BA F/J proposition isn't exactly luxurious - try it once but then either try another carrier or just fly premium economy. BA have a lot of competition going east, much less competition going to the...

Can't work out why BA would do this - they've admitted business travel for them still hasn't recovered to 2019 levels and are targeting premium leisure travellers. The Club World experience isn't great, many will try it once and unlike business travellers don't have to use BA or even fly up...

The way things are going Viasat will be out of business before QF has their product deployed across their fleet.
