economy class

Hi, I am looking at a one-way flight from Melbourne to Stockholm (my return flight will be more than 12 months away so unable to book this return flight). By searching for a one-way ticket, it is about $1600 for a Economy Saver. By searching as a return flight, the cheapest to Stockholm flight...

Sorry if this has been covered before, but my searching couldn't find it. I have a QF booking in discount Y, SIN-SYD...MEL-SIN, which when I booked it was operated by 333 aircraft. It has now been changed to a 332 both ways, so my bulkhead seat in row 24 has disappeared, leaving me in a regular...

Well let me say at the start, the topic may spark some debate. I remember VA from the Virgin Blue days in early 2009. My first flight with VA was HBA - SYD, the in flight live TV was amazing. crew I dont remember but it was a better experience than flying with JQ. It had me hooked on, then I...

I'm just about to start heading off on my 3-month round-the-world trip. This trip is mostly focused around Europe, where my family are based. I haven't been back to the UK to visit them since Christmas of 2010. I'm taking the long-way to get to Europe, flying out via Argentina. On the return...

Qantas Is Offering Wine Tastings... In Economy! - One Mile at a Time Has anyone encountered these Qantas sommeliers on board, and being offered these 'formalised' wine tastings? Seems pretty nifty by Qantas Also - agree with Lucky, can imagine the economy experience can be a bit awkward..

Just released photos from the VA FB page......5/8 more to come

Flew SYD-PER return over the weekend in Y. It feels like VA is cost cutting with the meal service. The dinner meal service wasn't on a tray - the hot meal was wrapped in the white napkin and there was no dessert on either journey. There was a 2nd drink service 1 hour after the meal service...

Saw a news article today about how small economy seats really are. That the back seats in small cars are bigger then the room in cattle class, and that they arent much better in business class. No wonder I feel cramped :D 15-hours in a Fiesta more comfortable than flying?

What are everyones thoughts on economy seats.. I understand I will likely get the "Fly business if you don't like it". I am only 186cm but have very wide shoulders and every single time I end up in the aisle I get my shoulder smashed by the trolley. I also end up with half my shoulder in the...

How bad is the 777? How does seat width and leg room compare to a QF A333? I know one can look at seat measurements but these don't really mean that much unless you have experienced the seat for yourself. I am guessing the A380 would be more desirable?

Finally made the plunge and signed up here after I realised I just (again) over paid for economy tickets from AUH to LJU. Pumped to see so much valuable information although it does seem a bit overwhelming just starting out on this quest for better flying experience.

Hi All, Glad to join AFF, you all have such a wealth of information. My situation is I commute PER - SYD return about every two weeks and I am residential here so pay for my flights but can book more than six months in advance, so its all in Economy. Which for me is fine as its normally the...

Am looking to book a flight to Honolulu. What would be a better option. I have flown Jetstar starclass before but was wondering what the difference would be now with the new Qantas plane in economy. Also is the extra leg room an option flying Qantas. Thanks.

People here tend to write about their Business or First Class experiences, but not everyone can travel at the point end (or upstairs!). I just got back from a trip to Ireland which I had to stay in Economy the whole way - despite having the points and money to upgrade, I seemed to have bought a...

BA now has paid meal options for economy pax. If you choose this option, it will replace your free meal on board. Prices are really quite expensive... GBP15-18. Meals for other classes (including WTP) can be reserved on line... but do not feature any additional dishes. The menu is the same...

Just flew Economy with Emirates as a QF SG, and I'd like to get some comparison with experiences on QF, as so far when traveling internationally with QF I somehow always got an upgrade to J (well, all of the 3 times I flew with them, it's not like it's every week :) ). Only made SG for the first...

Ingredients 1x set of eye shades 1x set of ear plugs 1x Seat 88G 1x Thermarest 1x large amount of luck/karma Result 1x Lie flat bed. Surprisingly good food on board, although the welcome drink was served once and then never again, which was disappointing. However, I was right under the AC...

Lowly Y here, already planning next year's trip to Europe (May-June 2016). Is it known yet when the new Premium Economy class is to be introduced on MEL-SIN-FCO and LHR-SIN-MEL flights? Any ideas on the likely price point? Mid-way between Y and J? My linking flights will be BLQ-MRS, and MRS-LHR...

Hi everyone, A bit short notice I know but I am looking to fly home to Manchester (or London if that's a lot cheaper / easier) on roughly 23rd June (dates flexible as long as I am home before 29th June) returning via Singapore. I need to be in Singapore for the 18th July and can spend one /...
