I for one, hate the sound of these Project Sunrise flights. Being 'fed' carbs and protein at specific times according to some magical formula that is supposed to reduce jet lag is patent nonsense. So much for all being about 'how you spend your time'! You will have no choice in reality - if yo...

From my own experience, China Airlines business class is a very solid value proposition - offering style, comfort and service. Shame we can’t earn QF points when flying with them onwards from Taipei to Europe and return.

Agree with the above negative comments about QF ‘first’. Flew to London return last year. The forward flights were very disappointing - food and wine were very average, athough the crew tried hard. One return leg ex SIN was reasonable and that was it. Neil Perry’s catering ha...

No mention of soft product upgrades, which is currently possibly the worst there is. BA crews generally are not well-trained and vary from over-familiar to downright rude.

Funny, he didn’t mention the catering! With Mr Perry’s J class dishes already in short supply on the Dreamliner to London due to weight restrictions and QF’s cost-cutting meanness, I wonder what culinary delights AJ is planning to declare ‘best ever catering’ on...

Regardless of whether it's a Trans Tasman or longer, this seat is dreadful. And having travelled in it, I felt peculiar sitting there, and seeing other people's heads in a line along the cabin - apart from the ergonomics with a window behind - it simply looks odd. Cathay got rid of their so calle...

Yes that's true - however I find I noticed it on all lie flat seats. The reason being, I was once told by a pilot who was 'passengering' adjacent to my seat, is that as all aircraft fly in a slightly 'nose up' position, this means that people lying flat will often notice this slight incline also....

Some Shengen countries have separate arrengements with Australia over and above the standard 90 days in any six month period. Germany for example, offers Australian travellers an additional three months after the initial 3 months in Shengen. This year, I spent 4 months in Shengen on an Australian...

As a result of this story, I cancelled my SYD/LHR return with Qatar in business class to fly on CI - and still saved a bundle despite the steep QR cancellation fee. I'm happy to report that I was not disappointed with CI in any way. The cabin and seating are great (I did not find it uncomfortab...

Actually, if you're going to give German tips, then use 'ich hätte gerne' when asking for food, rather than 'ich möchte'. The former is more usual while the latter can sound a bit childlike. Or better still, just stick to English on board, as the LH FAs are of course, fluent and don't necessari...

Looks marginally better - but CX are you seriously going to use a plastic tray? At least put a cloth on the tray - if for no other reasons than hygiene! I’m a germophobe and I cringe to see cutlery sitting on a plastic tray, which cannot be washed at the same high temps as crockery. Lyst...

Fix the bus class catering for a start!

But seriously, who can stand 20 hours of Qantas in-flight service - it's so variable. Just came back from QF first class to London. Going over the food in the SYD First lounge and on board was, let's be polite, 'ordinary'. Coming back was better, but not to other airlines' first class standards...

Yet another reason, if any were needed, to travel via HKG on a CX/OneWorld flight. Cathay's J lounges really are the best in the world and CX/OneWorld travellers are really spoilt for choice at Hong Kong airport, especially if you throw the QF lounge into the equation - though personally, I head...

Being a former long-time resident of Frankfurt, all I can say is that it tries hard, but it's still perhaps the least attractive major German city. If you have to be there over a weekend, do yourself a big favour and hire a car and drive to Alsace in France for the day. Barely a 2.5 hour drive ...
