Horrible feeling

[RedSMS]

Wheels down. Back home, & it's raining.

The first time I've ever flown J long haul and QF94 was absolutely terrific. It is an entirely different world of flying, especially on the 789. The lower cabin altitude due to composite construction makes me not feel as horrible (I have terribly dry skin.)

You've got a huge amount of space, a great menu, drinks and snacks galore, and you can actually lie flat (I got 7.5 hours sleep.)

I honestly didn't even look at the ETA once. I didn't care, because I was just so damn comfortable.

Nobody to step over to go for a walk or stretch out, or for a bathroom visit. Everyone has aisle access

It's the only way to fly long haul imo.

Usually I'm in PE, in a huge amount of discomfort, looking at the clock with a feeling of dread.

When QF finally launches project sunrise, it will be such a privelege (and mightily convenient) to be able to disembark at JFK or wherever.

There's no way I could do 20 hours in PE or E. It's brutal enough as is LAX-MEL.

Had a blast, thanks for all your help folks

Great to hear you had a good trip! If you took any pics of the menu or food please drop them in this thread:

Qantas Domestic & International Business Class meals/menus

Given the Virgin side of AFF has had this style of thread for a while, and there are likely more than a few of us traveling in the front cabins of Qantas Domestic over the course of December/ January (for some reason), I thought it would be useful to create a thread dedicated to the meals for...

Awesome, I love hearing experiences from premium cabin virgins, takes me back to my first time.

Great review and glad it all panned out! That first long haul flat bed experience is always so prime.

I'm 6'2, and for me, the space is what really makes it. I don't need caviar every half hour - the seat space/flat bed/nice food just makes the trip thoroughly enjoyable rather than 15hrs of watching the clock in discomfort.

You don't have to be 6'2" in order to hate flying ULH in Y. I'm only 5'7" but swore off QF B787 Y after flying LHR-PER in a rammed Y cabin down the back where the aisles are so narrow I was smacked in the head or shoulder every time someone walked by.

... and was intrigued by the caviar reference - whose J service includes that at any time let alone 30min intervals??

Maybe confused with Emirates F and they now stock 3 tins per pax!

Emirates First Class Gets More Caviar

Traveling in Emirates first class? You can now (officially) ask for multiple caviar servings, as the airline has increased provisioning.

Not to be taken literally - I was just reinforcing that the sheer space/comfortable bed is what I find the most enjoyable/beneficial aspect of flying J or F.

The food/bev certainly doesn't hurt though!

Glad to hear. I'm doing the same flight in J tomorrow.
