economy class

Posted from a window seat in row 54 of 57 in a 3-3-3 seating aircraft. 5 hours, 10mins. Btw who decided air vents weren't needed anymore. It's hot back here.

Hi everyone, I'm flying to London in June/returning in July. I am a Qantas FF/QC member so naturally looking at QF (there is also the possibility of gaining silver status but it won't be much more in perks than what I am getting now with being a QC member). However with CX being Oneworld also...

I was reflecting, sitting on a 3.5hr US airways domestic flight last week - is there any better place to fly economy domestically than in Australia? I don't mean this in any sort of patriotic sense, just based on experience. Reading AFF over the years and reading the various gripes (including...

Some may have seen this article re airlines not giving customers what they want, about 45 comments posted. I found it interesting hope you do as well. The big squeeze in economy

Hello. I am not confident of getting a rewards flight in business class for a SYD-NYC (one-way) flight later this year so I am starting to look at alternatives. Q1: Any Premium Economy flights apart from QF? QF107 seems to be the quickest journey and costs $3286 o/w. I've taken a look at...

Just rang the QF premium desk to try my luck getting a domestic classic award economy seat released for this coming Sunday. I was told "we cannot request release of a domestic economy award seat, only a domestic business award seat". I was told this is the general policy, not just the...

Looks like they've also refreshed the Economy PAYG menu from today also...some things added, some things taken away...some price changes too... Thoughts? Virgin Australia

Just arrived back Mel Delhi return economy via Hong Kong. Seat backs are fixed and do not retract. Instead the seat base moves forward. Your knees and bottom shift forward toward the seat in front. What this effectively does unfortunately is just to magnify your slouch. Very hard to sleep or...

I'm flying MEL-Alice Springs return direct on QF796 and QF797 in April. My QFF year expires on 30 April. One way I am ticketed in N and the other in E. What will the SC earn be? Assuming its Discount Economy both ways it nets 30SCs, which leaves me 10 short of cracking SG. But I read somewhere...

Kept trying to find some sort of updated reviews or more importantly photo's/videos but cant find any. Virgin Australia (domestic) is supposed to have updated seats and new 737-800's whilst Jetstar is supposed to have retrofitted their a320/a321 with new slimline seating. I have never flown...

Hello Fellow Nomads, I'm based in Adelaide and have noticed Qantas have started to replace the 737s with 767s on some of the domestic routes at busier times. Unfortunately this means the chance of Op-Ups are now almost non-existent. Perhaps I've been spoilt but I'm used to always getting the...

Hi everyone, was hoping to pick your brains on what's going on. I'm trying to make a J Classic award for myself, the MRS and infant. Route i am trying to get is the shortest one possible, considering bubs will be less than a year old at time of travel. I am looking around Aug 2012. Having...

Hi everyone.New to forums. As i can only afford economy fares on international flights i was wondering on your opinions between Qantas and Vaustralia economy . I haven't been on Qantas international since 1988 .Have been on Air Pacific and Philipine Airlines , economy of course , which weren't...

Can someone help confirm economy baggage allowance for economy round the world one world ticket. Travel agent suggests 2x 23kg pieces per person for the whole trip - but then suggested I check websites of airlines we are traveling with ( qantas, BA, AA, CX). Websites all different and very...

We have enough points to upgrade from economy to business from Brisbane to LA. Trying to work out the process. As I understand it, you buy a economy class ticket, then go online to upgrade. I believe you only get an upgrade if there are spare seats in business? When do we find out if we have...

Starting next month, you'll see a change to the economy service on some international flights. Currently there is a one service fits all model on international flights. Meal - Snack on Q/Fruit - Meal is the general service delivered. From September 1st all international flights (excluding...

howdy, travelling abroad with a friend and in economy. Both of us are quite tall and resolved not to risk sitting next to anyone. The double seats at the rear of the 747 are free. Apparently the last window seats are bad, but I don't see why they would be any smaller than a standard economy...

Any in particular to look out for or avoid?
