I was hoping for […]

When booking a trip from Bangkok to Koh Samui recently, I had the choice of flying with Thai Airways or the boutique airline Bangkok Airways.

Review: Qantas A330 domestic business class ‘Business Suite’

Kris — Tue, 22 Aug 2017 14:05:44 +0000

Qantas set a new benchmark for domestic business class travel in 2014 when it launched the ‘Business Suite’ on its refurbished A330s. I often fly between Perth and Melbourne in the Business Suite and, when it’s coupled with good meals and service (as it usually is), it’s a fantastic experience in the air. Upgrading or […]

Qantas flies the A380 to some of its most popular overseas destinations including Los Angeles, Dallas, Singapore and London – and naturally many customers want to know what to expect before they board.
