The recline and general seat dimensions of the new seat have not increased from those of the current PE seats which I have never found to be a problem when the forward seat is fully reclined.

Clapped out indeed Some of these 777 relics are over 25 years old and 3 over 27 years. Of the BA fleet of over 50 X 777 aircraft  the average age is 21 years !

I understand  from one of our customers based in Amsterdam that work is underway and that the lounge area is being expanded taking in some sq footage from the adjacent once Aspire lounge.I can find nothing published on this but all seems to make sense given the many OW airline customers curr...

After giving the subject some thought I suspect that the arrangement will be revised and the PJ given away or the idea binned altogether. To do otherwise generates I believe just too many negative reactions and online negative comments in such a competitive market. The savings generated by c...

It seems to me like a very sound and progressive idea which I hope works well for them.

Many happy hours and "Happy Hours" spent in this iconic lounge and it is great to see it returning

The Qantas lounge certainly has a different vibe than the Cathay lounges but to suggest that they are 'MUCH nicer' I cannot agree. It is in all respects a very decent lounge and well worth a visit  - if only for the early evening cocktails (that I hope are still a feature) prior to perhaps d...

Whenever I have popped into the Qantas 1st lounge (I am normally next door at CX ) it has seemed full of Americans. from what David mentions I suppose refugees from the American Airlines place.  Brits go to the BA lounge because they are Brits

Nice report David however your info on 'Lifetime membership' is incorrect. Cathay a couple of weeks ago informed me that my Lifetime club  membership (that I had until this was replaced in about 2003)  was being restored and would replace my current 'Invitation Diamond' membership. Card...

As the majority of the demand for travel between Australia and Europe comes from people in Eastern Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane etc.) for most pax Perth - London is not 'non-stop' at all as they need of course to get to Perth.Perhaps I am missing something but could someone please expla...

Parrickk By what critatian are you measuring this 'great success' of Perth -London please ? Its common knowledge that the route is not making money.Why do you believe that Asian routes are high yield - they are not.

Already there is the A350-ULR that has a range of 18000 km. It has larger fuel tanks and can fly for 20 hours plus with up to 250 pax in mixed cabin.Singapore already use this aircraft on non stops from Singapore to New York a distance of 15,350 km. The distance from Sydney to New York is 15,980...

The cabin temperature on CX flights I am told by senior crew should always be kept at between 21 and 23 degrees C.I also have found the J cabin to be warmer than this but a word to the ISM or senior crew has alway remedied the situation within ten minutes without issue. The cause of the 'warm' ca...
