economy class

There are few underpants wearing people in the history of humanity that would not wish to be seated in business class. The plusher, wider seats that are staggered for less invasion of personal space. The improved quality of service, food and even air are far better suited to preserving one's...

I've been using Virgin's economy X product this year to travel between Brisbane and Perth, and one of the advertised benefits is priority boarding. What I have found all year, and am continuing to notice is that every single time I am using priority lane, the initial reaction is sir you should...

Hello I have a code-share flight with Cathay pacific departure out from Australia to HK and from there i catch my airline that i booked with. I booked my tickets online from a different European aircraft.. But it had Cathay pacific as a code-share because the other airline doesn't go to...

Planning a quick trip to London Feb flying QF1 Missed all the good sales (maybe boxing day ?) Pondering would I be better off having comfort seat or premium economy? Do all the arms rests go up on A380 for Qantas? Also then wondering chances of upgrade to business Thanks for the advice

Here we go again. Quality journalism not at all influenced by vested interests. The new B797 is going to end the economy squeeze through clever design! Wow, amazing right? Except that the 747 was going to do this too, and then the Airbus generation planes would do it too, and the 787 Dreamliner...

I got an upcoming trip with SQ and trying to figure it out how many SC will earn SIN - SYD - Economy K Class Ticket am i correct by using the last table of Velocity website putting Singapore Airlines K Class to Discount Economy group . from there look up the above table for International...

Hi All, Cliffs: - Paid J on VA cancelled - Rebooked into Y NZ - Myself and travel partner on different flights - What happens to my SC earn - Refund? On Saturday myself and travel partner were flying from ZQN to SYD at 2:45PM in paid up J. Saturday morning I receive an email from Virgin...

About to depart on the QF Sydney to Lax service in the A380. Got myself into 35K in the upper deck..however the flight is pretty empty. Should I relocate my seat to an empty row in economy in the hope I'll get the whole row to myself or stick with the upper deck and emergency row leg room.?

Hey, I realise people aim to fly premium cabins long haul but, many more fly economy. Just after any 'tricks' to Y long haul. In particular SQ, EY, EK, QR, VA but keen to hear about other airlines also. - Looking for ability to buy/secure an extra seat - Cheap upgrades at airport - Skycouch on...

Just checking chances of upgrades on QF25 to HND in a week or so. Also had a sticky beak at the return leg on Sunday 5th of August. HND to SYD Almost all of economy is blocked. Why would that be blocked in such great numbers? Thanks :) This is as per seat alerts

Hi, Thinking of booking Economy promo fare for Hong Kong to KUL on A330 early August. ($230 AUD Y vs $850 AUD J class) Does MH offer paid upgrades at airport? Would it help being OW Emerald status? (Qantas Platinum One)

I am VA Platinum, fly return every week domestically in flex economy (e.g. MEL - BRI - MEL). Sometimes business for longer flights (e.g. to East Coast to NZ or WA) and a few international flights per year in economy for vacation and work (Europe and Asia). I was looking into whether it is worth...

I was looking at fares one way during peak season from Perth to Auckland and the business sale fares state the 1st leg is in economy. I'm used to seeing that for award flights (there are none via AA or QF for my dates currently as they're post New Years) but to pay cash for a business fare even...

I was searching SYD-HKG flights next year and I noticed from April the flights QF127/128 and QF 117/118 were both A330 flights. I rang the QF Call desk and they confirmed this was correct and not just a system glitch. Obviously this will mean the 747 is being removed on this route - yet it will...

Hi All. Apologies if this has been asked before, but I cant find much on this topic. So, I am flying out next Satuday on SQ214 and decided to try my luck on... mySQupgrade On checking, the following message pops up: "There are no seats available for upgrade at the moment. Availability is...

A short time ago I boarded a QF international flight and had a conversation with the flight attendant who was surprised to see a QF Platinum sitting at the back of the aircraft. I informed her that I arrived at Platinum by flying discount economy or economy for all of my status points. She said...

See latest CX Y offer CNS/HKG direct $750 each, so was going to book two for mid Oct., at the checkout it says select seats, all blocked out except for exit seats at $230 a pop, was annoyed at this come on so tried to call CX, well after 20mins waiting I gave up. After searching I then find out...

I used to see the fact that QF hides fare class on their website as something annoying, but today I realised just how stupid that decision is. So I tried to book a Flex Y ticket MEL-SYD-DFW-ATL, YYZ-ORD-LAX-SYD-MEL and I made sure to select only QF codeshare on the AA domestic segments. Using...

Hi, Have not flown Emirates for many years, or international Y for a few, but a quick trip to Paris at the end of May sees Mrs Aus ATC and me in Emirates Y. I made 2 separate bookings (saving a few $$) but not realising till afterwards that I missed getting us both free seat selection (me...
