They still run 767's with no skybed or personal IFE so for me its still not worth the money, its nowhere near the same J experience as other international routes. QF should chuck A330 aircraft on this route.

Yeah I agree.

Actually, the 763's normally operating these flights have Dreamtime seats which do have personal IFE as well as a far better sleeping position than the Millennium seats. The also have more room being in a 1x2x2 layout.

But there is a selection of only 6 movies and 2 tv channels, rather than the fullsome selection available on most international flights. I am pleased to hear they have the millenium seats though, as my family and I are doing this flight on Sunday. I am sure it will be adequate. Not looking forward to the return though, as we are going Y, where there is no personal IFE at all. At least its a daytimne flight though, so the lack of sleeping possibility should not be such a hassle (trying to stay positive, but its a struggle).

I cant see any decent comparison between J on a B763 and J on a B744 or an A330. A few films to choose from on a loop. A non skybed seat, noisier older aircraft. Yes the Dreamtime are better than Millenium, but the overnight flight from Sydney to Honolulu would be much better in a skybed. Coming back its a daytime flight so dreamtime is fine.

I actually cut HNL out of a Done4 a few years ago as my last leg home would have been on a non-skybed flight.

Hmm, why am I reminded of being excited to see the introduction of Dreamtime seats and looking forward to the seat for long-haul flights like SYD-LAX. Its not that long ago when these were state-of-the-art and better than anything else available on the trans-Pacific route. Now we complain about them on a 9-hour flight . How our expectations change with time.

Its not that long ago that I took my CD player on long haul flights instead of my I-pod, yes things change and our expectations are always higher.

I would rather fly on JQ in *Class to be honest!

I find the A330 so much nicer than the old B767's
