Did you check Qantas and Emirates on same site?

Many reviewers make entertaining Sunday reading.

And check some of the reviews. complaints about an airline that they obviously didn't travel on. EG a woman from Adelaide complaining that her husband and 12 year old son were not seated together by Japan Airlines travelling direct from KL to ADL.

Yep you want the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? - go to the internet and social media you cannot go wrong

I think AFF is one of the few sites where people actually post positive first hand experiences, as well as quite a few negatives. Most only post complaints to review sites.

You would be the only person on the planet that utters such views - the ‘inexperienced’ Crew you refer to could be rostered onto 380 or 777 the next day - all of a sudden they become ‘experienced’.

Crew are ‘rostered’ in all directions - no set batch of ‘learners’ of ‘duds’ saved for 350 Med Haul metal - I have never seen any diff in performance or attitude by Crew across all aircraft

Nope not the only one, quite a few others have explained in this thread reasons why, here is one, just in case you missed it last time

Yes, that's right. All crew are trained on the 350 but they have a smaller contingent trained for the B777 and A380. Being older aircraft, most of the crew have been trained on these fleets for many years, so there's a much higher likelihood of senior crew too. And being a smaller pool, there's a greater chance that they know one another. Nowadays, the A350 is the training ground for new crew too, so a lot of crew attention will most likely be devoted to training activities. You're more likely to get a green crew (not referring to the colour of the kebaya).

One of the other complications of the A350 is its galley layout which is not conducive to good service. On the MH, all 40 J passengers are served from the fwd galley which is too small: it's insufficient for plating main courses as well as storing the second refreshment service. Coming from the forward galley also means there are more roadblocks than a central mid galley, though the long-haul variant has this.

I gather it is a point of consternation between the cabin crew and management. Ask any crew onboard and they will tell you that the A350 is their least favourite to work aboard in the fleet.

Where are you off to?

We will be flying on SQ J with my daughter 1 year and 8 months. Is this seat configuration ok or should we change?
We have booked 19a and 20a - 2 adults and 1 child

Any suggestions?

We are flying from LAX to Singapore and then to Perth. I hope the usual bubbles and caviar are still running.
The temperature will be quite different as Los Angeles is having a real winter.

Do yourself a favour and BTC lamb rack ex SIN?

 

[cove]

Ok thanks for the lamb tip.

Any suggestions?

It’s probably as good as any! The other option would be to take the seat across the aisle. But are they blocked for other pax with infants at this stage? They look like they are available, which is rare to see, or are you PPS?

When I booked the seats - the operator said that I might be moved if the seat is required for other passengers with kids so this was a safer option. Not sure if it’s true?

This may be a tiny tots question solved by some judicious goggling, but I figure someone here will advise quicker and more clearly ...

Can I, and how do I transfer some Krisflyer points to my wife's account ?

You can’t - you can add her as a Redemption Nominee but you will then need sufficient pts to redeem a flt on her behalf or buy some pts to top up

You cannot

So the seat configuration I have now is the best we can aim for? Any other options?

Can't transfer between KF accounts. Have read here that you would have to transfer to Velocity acc then to your wife's Velocity acc then she can transfer to her KF account. Never tried it but I think you would burn quite a few points in the process.

Oh I didn’t see your daughters age 1yr 8mths - I have no idea sorry so I should have kept quiet - others here may well be better to comment sorry
