Another great video. You get amazing service onboard the Rex Saab 340 considering the flights are so short. Some of the rural airports are extremely impressive buildings too. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

It's not a bad seat in business class overall. ANA'S A380 to Hawaii would be better, JAL's seat is still probably better than Hawaiian's I think. And economy on the 767 looked alright to me too.
@BoywithLoveeee8 сағат бұрын
@@LetsTravelAviation I agree. I’ve flown Hawaiian before but not worth paying that much points. I would rather use those point to fly premium on jal or Ana. I’m hoping that they’ll release the availabilities for next month on Ana.

Where do I start. The device holder does not come down like a tray. It was functioning perfectly. It only tilts for when the seat in front reclines. If you sat with your bum firmly into the back of your seat (as designed) you would find ample knee space. Unless you’re over 6ft 5
@LetsTravelAviation3 күн бұрын
Trust me I've flown these A330s many times, and the device holder was definitely broken on this seat (as you can see at 5:45 the left side had broken free of its bracket and was tilting significantly down). And I am just over 6ft so believe me it's not ample legroom. It is better than the 737s but the 787 definitely has more room.

That plane looked dirty... I don't ask for much, but a clean aircraft is one thing I do expect when flying. Haven't flown QANTAS for years... the destinations I go to aren't covered by them. Hopefully things can improve, but the last 20 years has been turbulent for that airline and I don't feel I should reward a company that so openly screwed its employees.

Great video!! the a330 is certainly going to be the best way to cross the country when QF 9 no longer starts in melbourne. It certainly was a missed opportunity for qantas to not refurb the 330 200's when they refurbed some of 330 300's, which in my oppinion are on par with the 787 seats, if not better due to the 2-4-2 layout. Whilst i do love to fly the a330, it sure will be nice when we start to see the new 787-9 and -10s flying east west!

Nasty surprise. 😮 I don’t see why 😂. You got safely, got a decent meal on a regional plane. No; regional planes don’t have free seats next to our as it’s just a 2X2 configuration. At least in Europe. What kind of amenities do you expect on a short hop?. I don’t know what’s wrong with check in. You have dedicated counters in business, and could bring your own boarding card in your phone.
@GG-hi5if28 күн бұрын
Totally different side of the world here, but flying BA is slightly worse the seats arent as good (just a usual 3-3 with middle seat blocked). I’d only fly business domestically😢 on qantas or ba for status points. Also hold your mic further away, sounds like youre holding it too close to your mouth

It would also be great to see the Embraer 190 painted in the REX livery as the National Jet Services livery is quite uninspiring.

Great thing about BA is their crews. They are friendly and delightful most of the time. However, I find BA catering on long haul needs improvement. The portion and presentation is not something I would call business class. Their bedding is too thin compared to many other top tier airlines. Overall, BA is still a decent airline to fly with, but nothing special and nothing to look forward to really.

Looked a fantastic flight probably helped by a relatively new aircraft, some of BAs long haul fleet are pretty ancient, but even if that is the case the food and cabin service should be of a similar standard.

Yes it was! I've never flown their old club seats but I'm certain the experience wouldn't have been as amazing overall if I did this flight. Perhaps they put some money into figuring out the best catering amounts or maybe it was just luck this flight but I was definately not expecting to get my first choice of all meals, so kudos to them. On other flights in the last row of the cabin I've often been left with only 1 choice. Thanks for the support!

You're absolutely right the train does run from A to C and back to A. And we could absolutely have reboarded the train at B and gone back to A. It is possible if you really want to do it. The only downside is you arrive into A like an arriving passenger and you're only choice to get back to departures is to reclear transit security - something I had neither the time nor the desire to re-do. You can bypass this by just walking back to A.

Gosh, that's really disappointing indeed. The slow check-in experience, the lack of hot food in the lounge, the tired and worn cabin, dirty washroom on the first sector of the day and the cabin crew not offering you any rolls during the service. G-DBCB is an ex-bmi aircraft and really showing its age but it's worrying that a BA business class flight scores less than easyJet and Iberia Express in your ratings. One of the reasons why I prefer to avoid flying BA whenever possible.

I'm a bit over 6 foot and it was a bit tight. Unfortunately there's no Premium Economy on this plane but I'm sure the exit row would be a bit better. Business wouldn't necessarily have better legroom as it's just economy seats too. Thankfully the plane doesn't fly very long flights so it's tolerable I guess.
