Qantas A330-200 cabin refurbishments

[Tom/PER]

Recently flew on QF71/QF72, up on -EBA and home on -EBG.

Gotta admit I went into these flights with an open mind and was impressed.

I find the hard product on the domestic A332’s to be a reasonable and solid product, they feel like an ex girlfriend…so familiar.

I like the iPad holders as I put my own iPad with my own content. -EBG on the way home had a very interactive flight map, interestingly I don’t recall - EBA having a flight map on the QF iPads. Sat in row 39 on both sectors and found it comfortable. The cabin was bright and airy. -EBA definitely didn’t feel 23yrs old.

We fly a lot to PEN and on a recent trip in January I found the SQ 78X we came home on to have a cramped and claustrophobic feeling to it.

Absolutely no hesitation in booking QF71/72 again on these A332’s. We’ll always take a widebody over a single aisle.

Yes indeed. Y on a 787 is awful.

If I'm travelling Y (which I seriously try and avoid), I'll take the 330 anyday over a 787 or 777.

If you're travelling as a couple, the 330 is fine, with 2-4-2 in economy.

Not those ones but the “Sunrise” A350s are supposed to start arriving later this year. Hopefully some will get a chance to try them out on TT runs.
