economy class

Hi, I was trying to look for a Qantas classic award flight from Hong Kong to Melbourne in Dec 2019. Not sure why, but I could see ONLY economy seats available for the whole Dec 2019. I could see Business and Premium Economy seats available in earlier months. I wonder if the upper flight classes...

I normally use my points to fly Mrs_Gimlet around Australia for her meetings and conferences as she works for a charity. In a rare case of preplanning, I am looking at using points for Melbourne-Jakarta via Sydney. No problems checking dates and availability etc, but I see that the fees and...

Hi and wondering how long this has been happening at Sydney? (only noticed as driver dropoff had traffic) Thanks.

Hi all I've got a economy sale fare round trip booked MEL - HKG for mid 2019. It is highly likely I'll not be able to make this trip due to caring for someone. The flights were booked through BudgetAir (won't make this mistake again...), they apparently charge a $85 administration fee for any...

There are few underpants wearing people in the history of humanity that would not wish to be seated in business class. The plusher, wider seats that are staggered for less invasion of personal space. The improved quality of service, food and even air are far better suited to preserving one's...

I've been using Virgin's economy X product this year to travel between Brisbane and Perth, and one of the advertised benefits is priority boarding. What I have found all year, and am continuing to notice is that every single time I am using priority lane, the initial reaction is sir you should...

Hello I have a code-share flight with Cathay pacific departure out from Australia to HK and from there i catch my airline that i booked with. I booked my tickets online from a different European aircraft.. But it had Cathay pacific as a code-share because the other airline doesn't go to...

Planning a quick trip to London Feb flying QF1 Missed all the good sales (maybe boxing day ?) Pondering would I be better off having comfort seat or premium economy? Do all the arms rests go up on A380 for Qantas? Also then wondering chances of upgrade to business Thanks for the advice

Here we go again. Quality journalism not at all influenced by vested interests. The new B797 is going to end the economy squeeze through clever design! Wow, amazing right? Except that the 747 was going to do this too, and then the Airbus generation planes would do it too, and the 787 Dreamliner...

Hi, Thinking of booking Economy promo fare for Hong Kong to KUL on A330 early August. ($230 AUD Y vs $850 AUD J class) Does MH offer paid upgrades at airport? Would it help being OW Emerald status? (Qantas Platinum One)

I am VA Platinum, fly return every week domestically in flex economy (e.g. MEL - BRI - MEL). Sometimes business for longer flights (e.g. to East Coast to NZ or WA) and a few international flights per year in economy for vacation and work (Europe and Asia). I was looking into whether it is worth...

I was looking at fares one way during peak season from Perth to Auckland and the business sale fares state the 1st leg is in economy. I'm used to seeing that for award flights (there are none via AA or QF for my dates currently as they're post New Years) but to pay cash for a business fare even...
