Hi Paul – quite so, but the R series pics supplied don't lend themselves to the type of photo we prefer as the feature image of an article, so we've gone with the pic you see atop the piece.

Onboard service can vary widely and wildly from one flight to the next, so there's simply no way to accurately say service is X, Y or Z based on just one or two flights.  Meals, WiFi etc are more consistent between flights so can be more of a reliable marker. Some people will say Qantas has ...

Nope.

No special insight, airlines can choose to have all three seats on the right-hand side the same width for either/both the reasons you mentioned. Also it might be the case that while the Safran seats designed and offered on the A220 have this wider-middle-seat config, that might not have been an o...

Hi Tour_contact: yes, there's an option for airlines to specify the middle seat as being a bit wider (19" instead of 18"), but Qantas is among the airlines which chose not to do this, in order to give that extra inch to the aisle.

Dgoody, you are absolutely right and I am absolutely wrong here – will revise this article accordingly. Mea culpa!

Interesting idea, albeit couldn't be done in that back-to-back way, but one I can take it under advisement...

Hi PK – that's a good suggestion, we can certainly ask for that information if it's a seat we've not yet reviewed, and try to incorporate it in reviews.

Hi s4077786 – if we've stayed at a hotel we will write a full review of that property, this article (and others in the series, for different cities) serves more as a roundup of hotels for the quick reference of readers.

Hi dkd – indeed we do realise that push-back time is officially the mark of departure time, but I hope that in return you'll realise and appreciate that Executive Traveller is not an aviation blog, and that we write for a very large and more mainstream audience and so we choose and use lang...

You'd best speak with the airline about that.

Absolutely we'll review these if the opportunity arises.

Nice catch, thanks – will definitely update the article with this – great to see everything falling into place as the A220 delivery draws near!

Lack of charging ports goes back to the era when the lounge was designed and built. If Qantas designed a new Sydney First Lounge today there would be a lot more charging ports around the place – look at the Singapore and Hong Kong lounges for example. There are AC sockets along the walls in...

The policy is 'active' now, but as to when it applies to the person who has passed away, you'd need to contact Qantas and ask them.
