I get your frustration, however, always assume the equipment could change.

Great stuff
stick to jetstar next time, heathen.
If you had to choose between qantas and velocity (virgin) frequent flyer programs, which would you choose?
Gday! It depends on if you’re in a place to achieve status (ie lots of work travel or not.) Qantas can be easier to find reward seats on (on Qantas flights) if you have status, as well as opening the door to upgrades on Qantas flights, but partner flights are still available to any members. In saying that, Virgins new agreement with Qatar is shaping up to have a lot of the same ideas. There is no reason not to try and accrue both in Australia. I always flip-flop my credit cards between Virgin and Qantas, with plenty of extra opportunities (insurances, hotels etc) where you can earn both and give you wider options to choose those services from.
Dude are u serious I left before u I took first class
I bet it was a great flight!
mate, just booked my first business class flights from Johannesburg to England thanks to your videos!
Absolutely love to hear this!
An hour ago we left ek407 and flew on first class
What did you think of it?
5 seconds is way too long for platinum members. With platinum plus ,the call centre rings you before you ring them,saving you seconds
Just took this flight and even though I knew very well 2 hours into the flight I still kept tapping the screen 😂 nice vid, it’s a great seat!
I know exactly what you mean!
if this goes ahead, i might have to start collecting velocity points.
No reason not to be collecting anyway! Plenty of great partners already and plenty of places to collect.
IF QAYAR AIRLINE BUYS OR JOINS VIRGIN AIRLINE THAN NO ONE WILL FLY ON QATAR AIRLINES !!!
What makes you think that?
Skytrax best airline is always dubious - Qatar are good but not best. They also said Doha is world’s best airport, like seriously, you have to get bussed out to your plane - hardly worlds best practice.
We will never know who gets to decide this but having flown Q-suites and their A380 First a few times, I wouldn't disagree! Ive only ever used Aerobridges at Hammad but sometimes bus gates are a necessity!
On a shorter flight maybe okay but longer flights when you’re trying to sleep it’s shit with that footwell off to the side like a contortionist. The A380 and A350 are the same. Only exclusion are some bulkhead seats if you’re lucky ! I’ll be flying another airline in future thanks.
Yeah its a hard sell sometimes! I love the witch and the space compared to almost every other business class seat in the world, but the footwell just ruins it! Which airlines BC seat do you prefer?
Im going to have to agree with you, nothing worse than the flight that arrives back in Mustralia early from Singapore. I know opt to arrive later in the day, and feel much better for it
I certainly wont be making that mistake again where it can be avoided!
The reward space seats will almost always put you on the early arrival flight tho 😭
Ive just landed today, from a return international business trip, which i csn only drscribe as lacklustre. Im really questioning whether or not I bother maintianing my status with QF next year.
Thats sadly what Ive been hearing! I was hoping they would've gotten their act together by now!
Hope it makes Qantas think twice.
The Minister has welcomed the offer. The previous Qantas-induced blocking of Qatar produced an outcry that the Government wouldn't want repeated. Virgin Australia has been foreign owned for a long time so a 25% Qatar stake wouldn't be anything new. And Virgin Australia ticketed flights to Doha using "wet leased" Qatar aircraft would open up a huge network of destinations in competition with Qantas, possibly forcing Qantas to improve its present degraded service and lower its prices so it doesn't lose business.
These are all good things in my eyes!
agree. if this happens its a win-win for travellers.
🤞it gets approved as it can only be an improvement for the flying Australian public. Let’s see what Qantas do about it though, if they call in the favours from the politicians they give chairman lounge access to and the free upgrades for them and their families, it might not be such a done deal.
The corruption is real!
What's concerning ,is brains capital purchased VA years ago for 3.5 billion and it has been speculated that Qatar airlines paided 700 million for a 25% stake in the airline. Doesn't say much for VA growth .😂
I suppose they look a bit long term, if this is a success it will result in more profit for VA which will increase the remaining percentage sales for them when they are put out there. Say what you want about Bain Capital, but they know how to make money.
@@JO-pz6uf crawl away
@@halitosis75 wow, you’re obviously a very insecure person, simply offering a possible explanation. Don’t be in such a hurry to be a dick.
I have to agree with Jo!
@pointyend-secrets not sure who brains capital is 😆 .
Qatar has been the best airline I have travel on, so more access to use them will be great.
Agreed!
25%
If I ever travel in something resembling Business Class it will probably be the Premium Flatbed option on Air AsiaX. This video helps to confirm that view. Edit: I wouldn't have called that Jetstar service though. On one international Jetstar flight to Indonesia I found the cabin crew quick and cheerful and our vegetarian food order was brought promptly. We don't drink alcohol but our tea and coffee were also on time. Juices had to be purchased of course, being Jetstar. Overall not disappointed at all.
The AirAsia seat is actually pretty cool! But dont sell yourself short, you're only 67k Velocity Points away from Singapore Airlines Business our of Australia.
Hi Pointy End Secrets! I took QF20 a few years ago and it was not a great flight at all. It was similar to your experience. The crew were rude and didńt care when they were serving dinner. I also rode Business Class. I refuse to fly Qantas Business until a significant change happens.
It seems that despite the criticism, not much has changed over at the Red Kangaroo!
You are a lot of food !!!😂😅. I am in my 40s now so when I travel, I am very careful about what time I eat especially on board as sometimes they serve food in very odd time like 4:00 am brekky which I avoid now days to rest my stomach.
Sometimes I cant say no, but I always regret these weird, midnight meals! If I didnt eat, I wouldnt have a lot of information to document though!
The cabin light in the 777 looks terrible.
I can’t find anywhere that confirms that a Singapore business class ticket gives you access to Air NZ’s lounge. An anyone confirm please?
It certainly does, its my biggest peice of advice to anyone flying, know the airlines youre flying on and its partners & alliances. A Business Ticket on most airlines will entitle you to Lounge access at their own lounges, but also those of their partners (and vice-versa.) Flying SQ Business out of Melbourne? Use the Air NZ Lounge, not the SQ. Flying Qantas Business out of Manila? Use the Cathay Lounge, not the Marhaba.
You were just incredibly unlucky on this trip. I have had nothing but wonderful experiences on SIA in biz class. I have to say, I don't think I have ever seen or heard of goodie bags being given out to apologise for a late flight. That right there shows you what kind of airline this is. Have another trip in biz with them this Dec and cant wait!
Definitely, thats why i thought it was well worth reporting on! Ive only ever had A++ trips with SQ and this wouldnt make me want to stop flying them. Their bad day is what someone like Jetstar dreams of being!
I flew before that day
What did you think of the experience?
You lost me at membership
Sadly nothing good comes free! But for something to save me >$10k on flights, its worth it for me!
Thanks for sharing. Getting out of Perth on points in BC is near on impossible. Made worse it seems by classic plus seats introduction. A year out you cpuld usually gets seats. Ie. Perth Singapore was i think 50k points. Good luck getting those now. We are looking for July next year. 112k points. 99k coming back.Cant justify that. You paid 100k Melbourne to LAX in this video. Tried for feb of this year. Nope. Long haul. Zero. In 6 trips to Europe doesnt matter where i fly into i can never bag a seat. We now fly economy and buy our seat and try for upgrade to Singapore. Nope. Never had any luck. Then buy BC seats from Singapore to Europe. Much cheaper option than iut of Aus. Usually around 4k. Flying east good luck also. With Qantas only really flying 737 there just arent the seats. Ive given up chasing seats and just keep banking the points and pay for the privilege of flying up the front. When it comes time to retire in a few years we maybe able to get point flights last minute. I honestly feel its all just become a big con if im honest. But it costs me nothing as i earn points as part oc my everyday so no biggie. Sorry to be negative but just my experience trying to get out of Perth on points.
It can definitely be hard and Im sorry that you dont find it useful anymore! I have to agree that its getting harder and harder. Do you only collect Qantas Points or also Velocity? Id say a neat trick for you might be to use Velocity points to fly BC from Perth to Singapore and then use Qantas Points to get a partner flight from Singapore to Europe or the US. Honestly, Velocity has far better seat availability, and its only getting better.
How do you earn points by paying your tax? Do you have to use a third party payment service? If so what do you use?
Gday! Yes I generally use SNIIP or B2BPay for these to earn full points & to meet the minimum eligible spend on new cards for bonus points. I have a full explainer video on my channel, as well as some referral codes if you're interested in doing the same!
did Qantas respond to this? they should at least learn from this video.
Never heard anything back from them!
Was your costing at the end $3182 return or just for one way?
Hi, the cash price is $3,182 one way. But I Booked this with 67,000 Velocity Points and paid $236AUD in cash for the taxes.
Don’t waste your money on Qantas
I wouldn't! But my points I will if they are the only option!
For a moment there I thought you were whinging POME carrying on like that about a delay and equipment change 😂
did qf19 a couple of weeks ago in the exact same seat. price had dropped to 54k points and i really couldnt fault the service. either you had bad luck, i had good luck, or theyve improved. was on qf20 in cattle class a couple of months ago and even for economy the service left a lot to be desired.
The sound drop out 😢
What’s your height?
Right on 6 foot!
@@pointyend-secrets what's a foot ? strange measurement, are you from America ? 😂 I'm 164cm, and the seat is perfect for me 😆
Great video - thanks Cal
Glad you enjoyed it
The new boss of Qantas is focusing on customer service and you got well serviced
Shafted.
Mate your a big unit😂no.wonder your feet aren't.fitting in the foot hole
Haha yeah granted, I don't fit in most seats!
Disclaimer is weird…
Damned if you do, damned if you don't it seems!
I got a better service flying Jetstar instead of Qantas and will go out of my way to avoid QF after a horrid experience. QF never fails to disappoint.
Agreed!
No, it's not nightmare, the airline Feels like home to me!
And it usually does for me, too!
In my view mate, no need to put the disclaimer at the start. I’m looking for reviews of business class services, I want all the things you like and don’t like. From that I’ll make my own view as to whether I want to fly them or not. From my personal experience I’ve found SQ business flights to be very good but not the great I was expecting it to be and I found the lounge at Changi to be so busy and loud that after I got my fill of food or drink I look for a quieter place in the airport. All be it with a bag full of snacks and some cheeky travellers that I can drink on the sly.
Agree, was strange
Singapore all the way, but Ill definitely avoid this again!
Thanks for the video. I’m a larger person, and I would find it hard to sleep on the business class bed
Being 6ft its pretty terrible and not enough room around the shoulders! For a nap, sure. For a full sleep, look elsewhere!
