Once a while ago I booked classic reward on Qantas website on JAL aircraft in business. Then JAL changed something and kick me back to economy. I called QF and said that it is unsuitable for me.

Anyone have first-hand experience? Location looks awesome for early flight when you cannot get there from interstate. However reviews is very mixed bag - basically either 5 star mainly for convenience or 1 star for room size and overall facility. Any comments?

Not sure about Australia, but you indeed can early check in Singapore and Hong Kong.
