Happy to see your videos again Rory. Great to see this flight back - used to take it all the time on my return from Perth . Always a great flight to be relaxed and come home.
Wow. This has got to be one of your best and most high quality trip reports you have ever made Rory. Outstanding work! - Look forward to seeing you in Melbourne next week!
Moustache, now Rori ? Good look ! A pity that Virgin stopped wide bodied flights to Perth from Melbourne, a few years back. But that was understandable with the money concerrns in 2020, and trying to restructure. Now qantas is cutting wide bodied flights too ( well, at least from Melbourne)....that takes it pretty much to a 737 duopoly ( with a few A320/321) thrown in. The market is there.....but the costing is so high to have any kind of real comfort....most just end up having to choose being in the sardine cans, that make up economy on these flights. I forgot to add... another great and comprehensive video. Thanks
Thank you! I’m a bit sad that Qantas is suspending its QF9/QF10 service between Melbourne and Perth. It’s my favourite way to fly to the west. Rex and Virgin are having a 48-hour sale right now. Melbourne/Adelaide to Perth for $99 each way is a bargain! 😂
@@RoryDing ....Ah, yes. A bit late for me to grab one of those bargains for my next trip west. I am doing Ool-Adl-Per-Mel-Ool in August...... The dearest leg was Perth to Melbourne...at substantially a helluva lot more than $99.🤣
Hi Rory I only found your channel a few days ago and love it ❤ have watched many of your old videos. Seeing you departed through the international terminal could you purchase duty free? I guess not. You are the best train, plane and ferry reviewer on RU-vid
Thank you, glad you like my videos! ☺️ Officially no, but I have purchased a pair of socks at the duty free before, they didn’t check my boarding pass. 😅
hey rory i think i saw u sunday morning crosing the road at flinder st station, saw ur insta to see if u were in melb and saw ur story. hope ur well mate, sorry to hear about it.
Great vid as usual Rory. I Lol'd at the Gau Bao and it's generous serving of pork. I have a question what do you do with your bags in the lounge? Is there somewhere we're to store them or do you have to carry them around with you?
I find it quite easy to request an upgrade to premium economy or business between Melbourne and Perth on this flight, but it’s the luck of a draw between Perth and London.
Once again expectations not met. Qantas should just get rid of the menus if they can’t be bothered. Slack when they have four hours to complete a service. Our SQ crew did a full breakfast service an hour and a half out of Singapore in J class due to bad weather.
I believe Qantas has just finished refurbishing all its A380s. The business and premium economy are as modern as the 787, but the economy seats are still the old ones. 😅
@@RoryDing Well as a person who probably ain't gonna fly business or premium, that's quite unfortunate. I don't mind the economy seats too much, its just that the entertainment system is pretty outdated, maybe been there since the planes were first delivered to Qantas in late 00s.
Yeah I only just noticed that label! I think you are correct, it is polyester! 😅 sorry This is what’s written on Qantas website about their Premium Economy product: “Look forward to a complimentary amenity kit, offered on selected flights to help you stay refreshed. The stylish pouch contains an eye mask, dental kit and socks. Snuggle up with one of our large cotton pillows and a 100% wool blanket for optimum comfort.”
@@RoryDingNice trip report man:) Unfortunately Qf changed the blankets early this year. The old ones were so much nicer!! The 787 you were on was in much better shape than some of the older ones. My last flight had a footrest that looked well past its due date many seats had broken tablet holders. I find these seats really comfortable and like the recline. row 23 is always my pick as well:) Safe travels dude.
