Looks like they've also refreshed the Economy PAYG menu from today also...some things added, some things taken away...some price changes too... Thoughts? Virgin Australia

Just arrived back Mel Delhi return economy via Hong Kong. Seat backs are fixed and do not retract. Instead the seat base moves forward. Your knees and bottom shift forward toward the seat in front. What this effectively does unfortunately is just to magnify your slouch. Very hard to sleep or...

I'm flying MEL-Alice Springs return direct on QF796 and QF797 in April. My QFF year expires on 30 April. One way I am ticketed in N and the other in E. What will the SC earn be? Assuming its Discount Economy both ways it nets 30SCs, which leaves me 10 short of cracking SG. But I read somewhere...

Kept trying to find some sort of updated reviews or more importantly photo's/videos but cant find any. Virgin Australia (domestic) is supposed to have updated seats and new 737-800's whilst Jetstar is supposed to have retrofitted their a320/a321 with new slimline seating. I have never flown...

Hello Fellow Nomads, I'm based in Adelaide and have noticed Qantas have started to replace the 737s with 767s on some of the domestic routes at busier times. Unfortunately this means the chance of Op-Ups are now almost non-existent. Perhaps I've been spoilt but I'm used to always getting the...

Hi everyone, was hoping to pick your brains on what's going on. I'm trying to make a J Classic award for myself, the MRS and infant. Route i am trying to get is the shortest one possible, considering bubs will be less than a year old at time of travel. I am looking around Aug 2012. Having...

Hi everyone.New to forums. As i can only afford economy fares on international flights i was wondering on your opinions between Qantas and Vaustralia economy . I haven't been on Qantas international since 1988 .Have been on Air Pacific and Philipine Airlines , economy of course , which weren't...

Can someone help confirm economy baggage allowance for economy round the world one world ticket. Travel agent suggests 2x 23kg pieces per person for the whole trip - but then suggested I check websites of airlines we are traveling with ( qantas, BA, AA, CX). Websites all different and very...

We have enough points to upgrade from economy to business from Brisbane to LA. Trying to work out the process. As I understand it, you buy a economy class ticket, then go online to upgrade. I believe you only get an upgrade if there are spare seats in business? When do we find out if we have...

Starting next month, you'll see a change to the economy service on some international flights. Currently there is a one service fits all model on international flights. Meal - Snack on Q/Fruit - Meal is the general service delivered. From September 1st all international flights (excluding...

howdy, travelling abroad with a friend and in economy. Both of us are quite tall and resolved not to risk sitting next to anyone. The double seats at the rear of the 747 are free. Apparently the last window seats are bad, but I don't see why they would be any smaller than a standard economy...

Any in particular to look out for or avoid?

Hello everyone,Well I'm sure you've all eared of the deadly drought in Africa killing millions of people.I thought I would suggest something:- Instead of flying business for you next short trip, book an economy ticket and donate the difference of the airfare to OXFAM Australia.It will be 1 hour...

What is the offering for economy flexible fare food? Does it depend on the flight time eg. larger offering for coast to coast?

OK I know economy is pretty much the same one seat to another but is there any spot you recon is the best on plane, I know the exit rows have more leg room but they are often narrower with the table in the arm and if your lucky enough to get an empty one next to you, the solid arms make this...

Enjoy online redemptions at 50% off on bookings made from 18 April to 7 May 2011 for travel on these selected flights from 1 May to 30 June 2011. https://www.singaporeair.com/saa/en_UK/content/krisflyer/redeem_miles/redeem_miles2.jsp Looks very enticing indeed. Pity nothing ex-SYD.

QF have just issued an email offering a 30% points discount on domestic travel in economy. Now that is fantastic so read your emails. PER-MEL for 18000 less 30 % makes the one way only 12,600 points plus the small surcharge fee. Get in quickly I would say.

Apologies if this has been posted already, but did anyone notice the subtle changes to SCs for OW Y flights? [Edit] Consensus is that there was no change to QFF rules and OW international Economy and Discount Economy SC rules - unless of course someone has info otherwise! [SYD] I just got...

Hi, planning a trip from Syd to Frankfurt, Economy. Could you please let me know who has the better economy class: Qantas or Cathay? I am a Qantas Gold FF. Thanks
