Qantas premium economy routes.

[sbc269]

I have googled and checked the Qantas site, but have been unable to find a list of which destinations have PE as an option, does anyone know where I can find such a list or maybe know a link.

Thanks

Don't know a link but I think these are all of them...LAX, DFW, JFK, SCL, NRT, DXB, LHR, JNB, HKG, SIN (excl. MEL/PER)

 

[sbc269]

thanks for that

Basically any flight that is services by a 747/380

Where did you want to travel to?

Call me uneducated, but (never having used it) PE looks to be a complete waste of money.

I haven't found a carrier where the adjacent seat is not separated by a large armrest. So if the seat next to you is vacant, one cannot stretch out across both seats.

The sensible choice is if paying for a ticket oneself, travel economy (unless upgrading using FF points). If travel is being paid for by someone else and it's more than a MEL - PER por SYD - AKL, travel business class. PE: no thank you.

Each to their own really. Some see PE as that happy medium so it works for them.

The lack of PE out of MEL to Asia is rather frustrating.

The lack of PE out of MEL to Asia is rather frustrating.

Indeed, the amount of lost revenue QF has out of MEL must be concerning...let alone SYD where only 5 flights per week to SIN are fitted with PE.

A pity QF apparently can't get any extra capital at decent rates otherwise the A330 refits would surely be #1 on the agenda...

I like the PE compromise, but this is a valid point and the only significant drawback for me

I like PE as an excellent upgrade from EC at a reasonable price difference....I rarely can afford to pay for Business (most of my flying is international). The A330 routes not having PE is frustrating, these are the routes I fly the most (MNL, SIN and BKK)

Not a deal breaker, but the non movable armrests in PE could be better....

E/F pairs on VA 777 PE have a fully movable armrest. Head and torso on E/F, knees above the armrest and feet in G provides a passable night's sleep at the price point .

Put it this way, I've had better experiences on Qantas A380 PE, than in Qantas A330 J class.

Could be worse. Lack of QF flights out of PER to Asia is even worse! One flight a day to SIN. That's it. Actually, that's the sum of all QFi daily flights out of PER.

Well said, especially since QF is making huge profits with Domestic flights from PER

I think with around 20-30 posts per day on here about lack of QFi flights out of PER we understand by now. Yes it's frustrating and pathetic but does it have to be mentioned continually? Maybe you could put it all in one place.

There are hardly 20-30 posts a day on the issue. Considering Melbourne hardly has the same issues (LAX, SIN, HKG, AKL), I don't think it's fair to be commenting on how PER members should just shut up and cop it...

It seems like I read them many many times a day. Maybe not 20-30 but it's a lot. I have acknowledged how frustrating it is and pathetic of Qantas but honestly I think by now ALL members know now that QFi from PER is 1 SIN flight per day.

Slightly off topic... but I recall reading a while ago that refubs of the A330s are planned... has anyone heard if these would include PE? I really miss PE on the BKK-SYD flights when QF stopped the 747 on the route....

I haven't heard anything saying that there WOULD be, but I think it would be great if they did, even just 3 rows at says 7 abreast, would be nice.
