Let me know what you think of the review and Qantas business class. Would you fly Qantas on the Kangaroo Route? Comment, like and share. And please do subscribe for future reviews.
It looks very good. I expect it will get even better later in 2024 as Qantas starts taking delivery of its brand new A350-1000s (part of Project Sunrise) which will offer non-stop flights to London and Paris from Sydney and Melbourne. Its new business class will feature private suites with a door (similar to Qatar's Q-suites) and I am very much looking forward to that.
I'm living in Queensland, Australia, and I'm happy to make the transfer in Singapore. Still, I would rather take Singapore Airlines and Lufthansa (if visiting European continental countries) than take the Qantas. But I will reassess Qantas after they have added WiFi onboard services to their international flights.
Just returned on the London-Perth-Melbourne route in business class last week and had the very same menu you did London to Singapore. I had the fish too - lovely - and totally agree that the breakfast (and eggs especially) was superb.
An intelligent review and the schematics were a clever addition. No mention of turbulence but those drinks seemed to rock throughout.Good to hear more about the travel experience as well as thoughts about dining.
I appreciate your comprehensive and relaxed presentation. Safety video certainly captures attention with the “welcome to country” introduction. Loved it.
Excellent video Anthony. The quality of the videos and the reviews get better each time. Thanks for the wonderful preview of Qantas Business Class A380
Thank you for including that bit from the safety video honoring the original inhabitants of Australia. As much bad as I see people talk about Qantas in the aviation RU-vid space, I thought that was actually pretty cool of them.
Ovaj video samo potvrdjuje moje ubedjenje da Qantas nema dobar ketering i izbor hrane.Prilicno siromasno i jednostavno i jos na platou....Prezentacija prilicno povrsna .....
Good video and review. Thanks for sharing. Qantas and BA still have a long way to go to reach the gulf carriers standards. The staff are always decent enough though.
A great vlog and very useful as am flying for the first time with Qantas from LHR to Perth on the dream liner and then back from Sydney on the 380 shortly. I have flown a lot on the 380 with BA and always select the first row upstairs.
Thanks 🙏 A lots of the flying is through the smart use of miles redemptions etc. Credit cards and even supermarket shopping can help accumulate those points. So it’s not as unachievable as you might think.
A good review thank you. I did this trip in reverse last year. I wish there was more lounge time in SG especially for having a shower without rushing. QF have a good business class product but they are quite expensive especially if you book online with them on their website. And chapeau to you for respecting dry January when you were flying business class, I certainly couldn’t resist the temptation!
They’ve always been a good airline in all classes. Not the best but well above average. The launch of non stop flights to East coast Australian cities will give them a real edge. I’ve never enjoyed the Far East change overs as I’m usually tired.
Excellent review. Thank you. I watched a Qatar first review before this. My pride was high when your Qantas biz review beats Qatar first. Interesting that at least one of those Finnair flights is a Qantas wet lease for additional Syd flights to Sin and also BKK.
Great video, I'll be travelling to and from Australia via Qantas business over the next 2 weeks. It looks much improved from the last time I was down under. Fingers crossed I get the same quality/service you had. The food the last time I travelled on Qantas was the worst I've ever had on any airline even in economy.
Thank you for the novel schematics. Having travelled on Qantas since Noah was a pup, I must admit that their food/ drinks routine has not changed. Business travellers know to eat well in the various world lounges and have a drink on board and go to sleep especially the last 7 hours. Nothing novel, it is like a bus service going home, prefer the direct flight LHR to Melbourne via Perth.
Thanks for the comment. With hindsight on the second leg I would have been better to stock up in the lounge. But then I wouldn’t be able to film the onboard experience. I agree the London Perth route is far better, but always seems to be a lot more expensive.
As a long-time high volume and distance flyer on both Qantas and Emirates on business and economy, the quality of Emirates far exceeds Qantas. I stopped flying Qantas once I had experienced Emirates. And I have not reverted!
Thank you for your review. This refreshes my memories of the same QF2 business class flight I had in November 23. I was sitting on the same seat 11K too. The only criticism I made for my flight was limited option of food for the dinner departing Heathrow which only had a main and dessert. It is nice for Qantas to include a starter and appetizer courses similar to day flight. Agreed that the hearty breakfast I had was great as yours prior landing in Changi. Your flight arrived 1 hour earlier than schedule and you should go to Qatar Premier Lounge instead of Qantas Business lounge as Qatar is first class standard and I had a top notch steak before hoping back to my flight to Sydney. Also welcome to see choice of dessert in the second leg as there was no choice on my flight at all. My flight was as great as yours, however I used my point to redeem it and rather paying with a high cost as there are better airlines on this route with better hard and soft products. My next flights are 2 mid haul on SQ business class and I am looking forward to comparing it with my Qantas J Class experience.
Hope you enjoyed the 380 experience, it may not be new to you but it's something any longhaul flyer should try, Qantas seem to be returning from their lows but food quantity and presentation looked pretty ordinary and that 2nd breakfast service looked poor, for the price paid I would of hoped for more and travelling in dry Jan was a mistake :) Lounges looked good, I wonder how would BA compare.
I like your style of review, factual and to the point, with no waffle. As for the flight, well, not a patch on the creme de la creme of Emirates, was it?
@@DoorsToAuto I was commenting on the delights of you flying with the Qantas experience, not on your choice of route. Personally, if I wanted to get to Australia via Singapore then I would choose Singapore Airlines, but I suppose you had your reasons for the way you went.
Your ticket was 7500 pounds ? Thats a bit pricey I looked yesterday and it's under 9 grand for two of us Syd to London via Singapore QF 1& 2.. The London lounge does look better than the buisness lounge in Sydney though... great video cheers !
Qantas seems to be really slack with its WiFi. Our first experience with their business class was getting into the terminal at our destination and our bags were the first on the carousel. My wife came out of the toilet to find me standing there with the trolley all loaded up already.
Thanks for the comment. 🙏 I think it was more expensive than usual as I was flying to Australia just as their school summer holidays ended, so peak demand.
The question that comes to mind is how tall are you? as I am not short and am worried that the space will not be long enough? How much extra space did you have whilst laying down? Graeme
I am not a fan of airline food offerings as I dislike what I would call 'fancy food' using ingredients I would never eat but those meals looked great and would have been my choices (other than blue cheese and diet coke). Looked like a good product from QANTAS... shame they don't go anywhere I would care to visit. Great review
A “fridge fall of drinks and snacks”? That’s because you can’t find any cabin crew between the fixed meal service! Dated interior/tiny TV screen/ making your own bed - I could go own but any of the ME carriers do it far better.
Odd announcement was intended to remind passengers with children & babies that putting them to sleep on the floor was & is endangering the child. If the aircraft hits turbulence it can cause the child or baby to bounce causing injury. It’s a big no no to place children & infants on the floor of an aircraft as they are not secure.
I disagree, it looked like edible food, well presented... too many airlines offer damp and bland fancy food that most people would never eat. Usually pretentious crap that is chef inspired and made in am industrial estate. Simple food done right should always be the starting point of good service and value and not warmed up slop
I’ve heard that QANTAS is waiting for the introduction of a new more reliable inflight system being introduced this year and strangely I have also heard that it may be at no additional cost to passengers 🤞🏻. QANTAS hasn’t been my choice for the last few years but I’ll be using their business class service from Australia to LA later this year and hoping for better things.
Why did you show the acknowledgment of country when it has nothing to do with this video and nothing to do with the safety video? Of all things to show from the inflight video, you show that. Politically motivated. Stay in partial if you are doing a flight review.
I showed the flight experience. The acknowledgment of country formed part of the safety video. To remove that from the review would not be an impartial act.
@@saab340driver it’s an over kill the way it has been portrayed. At official government events, it’s fine. Landing into another city airport within Australia, no.
@@timtam20292considering indigenous peoples culture of 60,000 years have been absolutely destroyed in the last 235 years, having some respect and acknowledgement is a good thing. I guess I’m not offended by everything though…
