      Hi GT, found your review interesting because I am always eager to explore alternative flights from Australia to the US ( son in Memphis). Have flown United in Business and naturally Qantas in Premium and business. By the looks of it, Delta will be ignored in future as well as the 'service' offerings alone have put me off, so thank you!

    Numerous trips in A350s with Qatar, both in Q-Suites and in the back with the regular folk...
    The A350 config provides just a tiny bit more space than the 777, and if you are lucky enough to fly them back to back, it's actually noticeable.
    But, every second in a Q-Suite is a blessing and I will never complain

The short flight from Korea to Japan on 787 was really nice. The flight home on the A350 was really comfortable. To be honest the A350 was the best ride for me. The A319 from San Antonio to LAX and A321 we took home from Atlanta were very nice. Delta has a very good product. All their flights were very nice. The A380 and the 787 were through Korean airlines. Overall, it was an awesome experience !

    Great shots of Sydney on your departure. Looks like Delta has really declined in their on board service. The "dog food in the sky" menu was disappointing, to say the least. What did they serve Economy Class passengers, ramen noodles? I find it hard to justify paying a surcharge for this class as it doesn't seem to offer anything spectacular from Economy. After years of flying, I will stick with Asian airlines as they consistently have superior on board service with flight attendants who seem to love their jobs and are happy to make their passengers feel welcome. Looking forward to your upcoming vlogs.

I don't like to think I am that particular on inflight meals but it does make a difference and won't eat the food. It really says a lot about US carriers and it is a shame when food could be so good!
