Qantas swaps Upcoming Flight A330 for A321XLR

[Saab34]

I think CGK is given alongside DPS which could enable them to launch a third frequency from Sydney or even BNE.

I’m more interested to see where the new expansion will come from, ie Adelaide/Perth/Brisbane into Asia or Pacific. Melbourne and Sydney too far for me on a 321.

I think they will try ADL-SIN

That what QF said when they ordered the flatbed variant. Hopefully they turn up sooner than later!

Personally I won’t fly with them in principle from ADL but I’m sure plenty will

Was on QF39 a couple of days ago and the CSM apologised about the wear and tear on the aircraft and a few technical issues and commented that as soon as QF gets a few more A321’s then MEL-CGK would be swapped over permanently to them

From memory, the initial roll-out of QF A321's are only recliner not lie flat @jase05 ?
Am flying MEL- CGK on Sunday be interesting to see how (s)coughpy that 330 is.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the a330 business. The seats are great. I don’t find any major differences between the a330 and 787 or 380.

Economy is a little tired however.

The seats were comfy but just a bit tatty which is to be expected of something that has done the mileage.
The IFE had to be reset a couple of times which caused all units to be blank for a little bit several times. The one J loo is probably the biggest fault with it though.

Any decent seats on the A321 in biz?

Another downgrade in hard product.

I'd still prefer the most tired A330 business product on QF (still very functional though) over a shiny new business seat on the current A321XLRs.

You simply just can't compare a lay-flat seat to a recliner.
