economy class

So, I am a first time poster and have no idea where this post rightfully belongs. I am visiting a friend in HK in July and flying CX, because my friend works for them, he is flying to Aus on my return, and I get QF points. Trawling through the QF T&C, it says that you earn 1 point per mile on...

Hello! I need to travel to Taipei in May, and I would like to take advantage of the J sale fares that just came out. I'm thinking that if I fly MEL-HKG-TPE, I could fly in J for the MEL-HKG segment at least. Now, my work will only pay for Y, and I'd like to be able to upgrade it myself by...

I Travel to BKK a lot for Business and always book the ex BKK fares as a result which has helped me with a lot of savings (usually getting J for $2700 to 3k return) and the added benefit of no fare difference for booking changes with fares purchased in BKK. I just went to purchase airfares then...

Hi I recently booked a return flight to the US. My return leg was on QF12. When selecting my seat, I noticed I could choose upper deck. So I did. I selected a seat and it was accepted. I didn't think much of it at the time because I heard QF was getting rid of first class on some flight so just...

We are planning to travel MEL - ZRH for a holiday. There will be 2 adults, a 6 year old and a 16-17 month old infant. We have enough points for 3 business class tickets or 4 economy tickets. Is having an infant on your lap/shoehorning the 2 kids into a business class seat workable? Reluctant to...

Is there anyone in here who has never flown Economy class? I'm happy to put some extensions to the question - Haven't flown Economy on a route where a higher class is available. Haven't flown Economy in the past 15 years. (Things were different back then sonny!) Haven't flown Economy long...

Hi all, I'm new so please be kind =) I'm due to fly on Qantas QF93 MEL-LAX in August and noticed theres a few economy seats upstairs now. I'm able to advance select seats 34 F/G but worried how close it is to the toilet and even people grabbing onto the back of the seat while they mill near the...

I am a QFF WP flying on a BA16/BA12 in Y to London Heathrow next week. I will be arriving at Heathrow's Terminal 3 and want to freshen up before heading into town. I also need to kill a few hours before I can check into my accommodation as the flight arrives at 5 am. Researching my arrivals...

First up, I'll admit I tend to tune out when it comes to on board announcements. I also don't drink on domestic flights. Tonight I was actually paying attention and caught the announcement that beer and wine is $6.50 each in economy. Since when has this policy been in place? Thanks, pw.

Hi guys, Apologies if this has been brought up before, I am sure it has but couldnt locate it!! I have booked an international return flight for my partner and myself and have booked the return leg on a "Super Saver" applicable fare (above Sale & Red E Deal) in an attempt to get a business...

Hi everyone, Can anyone confirm that in the first 4 or so seats in economy (rows 3 - 6) I believe have slightly extra legroom? I've just ticked over from silver to Gold and finally had the chance of sitting in row 4 instead of row 8 and beyond and noticed there is definitely more legroom than...

Ive heard that VA have just launched a 'refreshed' Economy menu today, which does not include Banana Bread. Anyone know what else is new/different?

On a leisurely return from Solomon Islands yesterday with Mrs Jada, Little Jada's 1 and 2, we arrived at Brisbane International 30 mins behind schedule and made the quickest dash through Customs, Immigration, Virgin Check In / Transfer desk and across to the Domestic Terminal.:lol: Albeit I...

Hi everyone Looking at going to NZ later in the year, will use a QF I-Class sale for the way back, but over I will go LA economy. It's cheap as chips and the booking class is "O". QF website doesn't list "discount economy" as an option for LA - so I presume this fare will earn full Y status...

I'm heading to North America with Mrs Tork and Little Miss Tork (now aged 2). I'm booking a one way LA-Toronto leg. With the small person, I'm only interested in nonstop flights. The different options I can see are: Economy on AA for USD244pp with free bags as I will be OWE by the time of trip...
