Last week I flew premium economy from Sydney to LAX. Everything was good until you look down at the footrest. I also didn't realise that the padded seatbelt was so heavy. The service was immaculate on the flight though.

I was roaming around looking for flights to and from Europe in July that didn't cost a packet and also didn't take inordinate amounts of time, and settled on Cathay Pacific from Sydney to Paris. This will turn an otherwise humdrum to/from journey into a bit of an adventure, as we'll spend a...

Hi all, I'm looking to do a multi sector flight which QF and EK codeshare the whole way (SYD <> DXB and then onwards and back via Dubai). My preference is to book via the QF number for the status credits. However when talking to my travel agent (and validated when trying to book direct on...

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has seen many or any premium economy reward seats (not classic plus) on either MEL - LAX SYD- LAX Or even BNE-LAX? If they exist, my husband is a gold FF so when should we set the alarm to search for them? Trip is Aug 2025 4 pax Also does anyone have any...

One of my upcoming flights has had a 5 minute time change, Qantas codeshare on AA. Qantas has sent me the following email message. I really don't know what to make of it. The updated flight details look correct in the change summary. Notice the strikethrough for all details on the original...

Hi, I found a discounted premium economy fare back from Europe. Except that the first leg begins in Milan on a different airline (Alitalia) in economy. The ticket is from Milan > Paris > Sydney. The Qantas leg flight is showing up on my Qantas ap already. If we were to show up at Paris...

Two years ago I nabbed Vietnam Airlines premium economy tickets to Europe in Dec-Jan for about 2k return. I suffer the same problem as I think everyone else does… do I book now or wait and when do I Stop waiting and buy because prices will just leap. Any thoughts?

Hi folks! There’s been a few posts regarding this but they’re quite old and I can’t seem to find definitive information especially since Qantas have changed their catering as recently as last year. I’ve booked a number of US <-> Australia Qantas flights in PE (and submitted points upgrade...

I'd very much welcome any comments and experiences based on people flying as a couple in Air Singapore premium exonomy, A350 or Boeing 777-300. We'll be going retrurn Melbourne to Singapore. I'm assuming in either case A&C or H&K would be preferred to D,E,F,G, but beyond that ... as far as I...

I realise this won't be everyone's cup of tea, but ~$2.5k return isn't bad for Premium Economy to Europe return. Flights are via Shanghai on China Eastern, part of SkyTeam. You can earn Qantas points, or credit to a SkyTeam airline. Also works out of Melbourne/Brisbane and into Madrid...

I noticed that the Velocity website states that Premium Economy reward seats are available to book on Air Canada: However, I have never actually seen one available. Even when Premium Economy awards are available to book through Aeroplan at the lowest points level, Velocity (and all other Air...

Just came home this week on the old A380 premium economy. Surprisingly comfortable. Fat old lady here and I was very comfortable . It was really a leap up from economy. However that was on OQL which is yet to be refurbished. Wondering if the new premium economy seats are as comfortable ? Wide...

Pretty decent opportunity to fly the longest flight in the world, for 556USD (~$870 AUD) one-way - return from the US is 1300USD. You can also tack on an extra flight to certain destinations in South-East Asia e.g. Jakarta, for little extra - you might have to book using the multi-city tool to...

Is $7600 AUD good value to upgrade Emirates Premium Economy to Business, for SYD - LHR, for 3 adults & 1 child? It seems to me to be good value, at least compared to the same upgrade on the return leg (Athens to Sydney) which is over $19K AUD.... These are the prices quoted on the Emirates...

Hi team, Thank you so much for your help with our recent holiday to Greece via Finnair. We enjoyed 2 x 13hr business flights which were excellent. We highly recommend Finnair. My wife, daughter and I are thinking of heading to LA next year. We have +200k in QFF points and are looking at...

Keen for everyone feedback on the best full service Premium Economy flying SYD-SIN. Departing SYD on or around 15 Jan. Cathay Pacific seems to have some of the better fares. Thanks in advance .

Has anyone tried requesting an upgrade to Premium Economy at the airport on Japan Airlines? According to their website, upgrades are available on the day of the flight, subject to availability, for a fixed price of AUD450 from Australia to Japan or JPY40,000 in the other direction. Fixed-price...

Japan Airlines has some very decent Premium Economy fares from Sydney to destinations in Europe including Helsinki, Paris, Frankfurt and London. You can also connect from other Australian cities for not much more money. The domestic connections book into Qantas Economy. An overnight transit is...
