I believe they are a LCC who know how to pack the pax in. They are the airline who have ordered A388's with all economy seating.
I have never flown with them but I am also led to believe they ae the only way to Reunion direct.

No J class lol. My husband is going to love this

Cramped Much, 853 sardines all cramped into an A380 on a long haul flight, needless to say it would be most unpleasant if you were seated next to a P.O.S
Correct. Sardines anyone? Around 840 of them. :shock:I believe they are a LCC who know how to pack the pax in. They are the airline who have ordered A388's with all economy seating.
it was one of the old overhead screens ... a very old grainy film

Has anyone flown with Air Austral and if so how was it. We are flying from Sydney to Reunion and Mauritius and have been told this is the only airline that will go direct.
I had never heard of them before.
Why don't you fly Air Mauritius? They fly direct from Perth to Mauritius and on to Reunion according to their route map they fly from sydney too. I have only heard excellent reports of their airline from friends. This sounds a better option judging from the comments on Air Austral.

It may sound really horrific. But probably not terribly different to the A380 whY cabin today, and certainly no worse than being crammed into an A320 or 737 with 30" seat pitch.
If you look at either the SQ or QF seat maps for the A380, replace the J, F (and on QF) the Y+ cabins with economy seating, it doesn't take long for the numbers to add up. Just look at upstairs rear of the aft emergency exit - SQ have 88 Y seats in this space. QF have 48 seats (8 J, 32 Y+, 4 crew rest seats). On the upper deck alone you could probably fit 42+ rows of 8 abreast Y (at the same seat pitch), that's 336+ seats currently in the space currently taken by 108.
As for disembarking - at single/dual airbridge locations what a nightmare! For triple airbridges (like at SIN), that's about the same number of pax per airbridge (280) as a small 777 or 330 at a single airbridge location. Not great, but not terribly different to what is seen today.
Point taken but how long would meal service take
Point taken but how long would meal service take ,and then imagine if it was a BoB service and you were seated up the back
