What's Your Favourite Flight?

[TonyHancock]

Mine is QF9, it invariably leaves on time for me, the QF team on board have been excellent, and the new route, via DXB, has opened up access to my favourite F lounge. The only bad thing is that London is at the other end.

Second would be QF1.

Interesting question Mine was QF5 to FRA before they got rid of it. Now, probably QF1. That being said, the majority of my flights are domestic or trans-Tasman; at the moment QF49 seems to be my most common flight - and the Jetconnect crew are always good.

Can I assume this topic is not restricted to Qantas/Australian flights?

 

[serfty]

Used to be the evening QF83 SYD-MEL, then QF133 when it departed 7:30pm.

These days QF94 as I'm coming home (generally recently flushed with SC's )

Mine is any morning (but not too early morning) international flight that is not QF, JQ or EK. I like the idea of majority rule, and with 67 per cent of travellers opting to choose other airlines, majority rule is met.

SQ238 ex MEL at 1025 which is a B773 for SIN is good: excellent departure and arrival times. PR210 ex MEL at 1000 to MNL was good, but is now an older A343 so that's made it go a bit downhill, but there's PR212 ex SYD at 1045 as a good substitute as it's operated by a B773ER - with the proviso that this means an early start ex MEL to connect. NZ124 ex MEL at 1145 (B773) for AKL means a not too early start from the remotest suburb of Melbourne and a reasonably convenient arrival time at one's AJKL CBD hotel or other accommodation.

I've always like QF9 too Tony. hate morning OS flights, and Lunch in the F lounge is always good before setting off.

Couldn't agree more. I have two more QF9's this year. Very much looking forward to some time in the F lounge and the excellent F service on board.

QF27/28. Flight timings virtually solve jet lag for me on those flights. Have a nice big meal and crash almost straight away. Wake up for breakfast at around 8:30am SCL time on QF27, then wake up for lunch at around 1:30pm SYD time on QF28. Full night sleep, jet lag sorted and still time to enjoy the service!

 

[QF2220]

For me QF108. Get to JFK in the afternoon, a little time in the airport, takeoff and then a quiet flight across to LAX with enough time for dinner and a movie. LAX is LAX, but then get onto 108 to SYD and doze off right away. ZZZ right through the night and land in the morning after an extra long sleep cycle. Very little jetlag. Also, this trip is even better if in J! Was better on the A330s though.

Footy99 - would love to have your ability to deal with the jetlag SCL-SYD, for me it is horrible!

QF107, esp as last time I took it I ended up have an absolutely wild drunken weekend with some mates...

 

[vitagen]

I liked qf67 per-hkg before they canned it. Leave at 10 and arrive in hkg at 6.

 

[Brisbane Flyer]

QF51, late morning departure from BNE, arrive SIN just after 4p local.
Plenty of time to hit Club Street for some good food and drink.

And, its on a 744

 

[spudseamus]

Any flight that's in J or F! Sigh !

 

[sinophile888]

I love CX 136 (PER -> HKG), departing PER around 8am and CX 171 (HKG - > PER), departing HKG around 3pm. Great to get to and from HKG with no stops. And neither of the flights are overnight.

 

[amaroo]

As a QFF I have two.....BA10 (ex-SYD, now deceased) and CX100.

Using QFF points - I am/was always shoved onto these flights

 

[trytofly]

EK415 SYD-DXB
EK051 DXB-MUC
arrive same day then good nights sleep ready to work next day

 

[blackcat20]

QF93 for me; leave Australia at a reasonable hour and arrive in LA in time to enjoy the same day I just left behind.

 

[dragonman]

CX 879 in F from SFO --> HKG best flight of my life.

 

[dfcatch]

QF93 for me; leave Australia at a reasonable hour and arrive in LA in time to enjoy the same day I just left behind.

Traditionally this was mine - for the same reasons.

Now it would be QF11 - decent time in the F lounge, decent flight to enjoy, but the downside is arriving a bit late for some connections.

 

[Milboo]

VA1 from SYD to LAX.

Means it is New York time again!

i like the mid afternoon departure as sets you up nicely to relax then sleep before hitting LAX around 9.30am.

QF108 nearly killed me earlier this year... Mind you I was in the veeeerrrrry back of the plane- I slept for 12 hours once I made it home, then was awake from 2am!
