Fly Ahead will always be better when in Economy.
Although one business seat is available now, for example, MEL to SYD at 10am for today for some lucky person.

Definitely not booked out for the rest of the day, normally (Depending on the route, of course)
MEL to SYD today currently has business available on 5 flights still.

I was on MEL-SYD Sunday afternoon and no wifi and no entertainment, nothing. But cabin manager Sam was enthusiastic. So well done to her.
 
Fly Ahead will always be better when in Economy. Most of their seats last minute, and weekdays will be close to impossible in J.

Fly ahead was always ok for for me travelling M-Thu between MEL-SYD. You could ring up first thing in the morning, so there were usually seats available.
