Definitely Row 2. The bulkhead in Row 1 does not allow you to stretch out.

Well put Kieran. My opinion may change on my next flight as it always based on the experience I have enjoyed or endured

Hi DC3, Im sorry I meant CX Cathay not CZ. Although I will admit to having flown on CZ A380 and CZ 787 on some of their internal flights and I was pleasantly surprised. I am thinking of using them on a long haul to Europe once they have better 787 and 380 schedules in place. I was surprised to...

This is great news for the west coast traveller. I have been lucky enought to travel in J on a number of occasions with Etihad and the experience has been excellent. Food, transfers, lounge are outstanding. My only gripe would be that you can end up sitting in one of the older cabins which feels...

As a regular Perth visitor I can't wait for Westin to open in Perth. The poor standard of hotels in Perth astounds me when compared to the excellent offer of hotels in Sydney and Melbourne. Despite my Diamond status I give the tired musty Hilton a miss and choose the modern comforts of Fraser...

Hi there Meriton Apartments and Fraser Suites have great spacioud apartments, good gym facilities and provide excellent rates for long term

As a Diamond member I stayed monthly at the Hilton Sydney. The rooms are tiny and my upgrade always gained me access to the Club level which is a great advantage for nibbles and drinks in the evening. My best advice is to have breakfast in the restaurant not the Exec Club. Access to a great gym...

Hi all, Work placement in Germany for 6 weeks end of August. I'm keen to find out best airport to fly into Munich or Frankfurt ? Also like to find out from experienced travellers if I can try different airlines in J class on different legs rather than one single carrier. I have been spoilt on...

I was lucky enough to escape the busy AUH business lounge and enjoy the peace and quiet of the First lounge at Christmas due to over crowding. It may not possess the pizazz of the Virgin Atlantic lounge at LHR but was a tranquil escape with good dining options and table service. The Etihad...

Hi Oz, we are travelling mid- November . Cheers

Etihad wins my vote as long as it is the newer J seat. Food on demand is restaurant quality so don't fill up in lounge before flight. Great wine list. As with all service it depends on the crew dynamic on the day ranging from professional to warm to cold. The seat is very comfortable in seated...

Thank you everyone for all the great advice .

Hi all, We are excited and would love some ideas to make this an amazing trip. We have four weeks off work;). We are flexible on stopovers and duration but would ideally like 7 nights in Cuba. We have budgeted for Y but could stretch to J if super deal. We were considering stop off in Mexico...

Hi Euroflyer I flew J in January Mel- LHR and CDG- Mel on return leg. Platinum card or status was not recognised at any stage. Out of interest i handed my Velocity Plat Card to staff with passport at check in staff at Melbourne and CDG. On both occasions they asked me what it was. However, the...

Hilton Diamond perk has certainly paid off for me. Some great room upgrades and executive club access on each stay. Europe car required plenty of patience and follow up to benefit from Privilege Elite perks. After three car hire contracts, no upgrades or discounts , emails to Customer...

Thanks swanning_it Finally made the plunge in AFF after many months following threads

I will admit that I have mainly experienced warm professional service yet at times some very poor service on Virgin flights. I expect as the brand expands we can expect some gaps in consistency. I feel the Cabin Supervisor is responsible and can have the greatest effect on any passengers flight...

I have been very lucky lately on the BNE - MEL route with a number of upgrades to J on seemingly full flights. Greatest bonus was the J catering on majority of those flights where as in the past I purely experienced the J seat only with Y catering. Very appreciative of Plat status benefits.
