Maybe you caught this when it went public by accident a few days ago! Oops! Well, it's back for good now. Enjoy this Qantas A330-200 trip in their flagship business class between Sydney and Denpasar, Bali! Read my written review ONLY on Simple Flying: simpleflying.com/qantas-a330-business-class-review-2/ WATCH NOW: Amazing CrossCountry HST train trip in England! th-cam.com/video/aA6MoteaJwU/w-d-xo.html
BTW, When you flew from AKL to SYD on QF140, It was most likely operated by Jetconnect which is a New Zealand company wholly owned by Qantas. They do this for, money of course since New Zealand's Labour/Labor costs are lower than Australia's.
I did indeed see when it went live a few days ago, but it had been removed by the time I got to click on it. Now I can finally see what I missed out on!
Love flying with Qantas. I was leaving Manila when parts of the city & the Shangri-La hotel was raged with gun fire by extremists. When I saw the Qantas aircraft arrive at the gate, I heaved a sigh of relief knowing I would be home safe now.
I also took Qantas's A332 in economy right at the start of the pandemic in March. I was only flying from MEL-SYD so I couldn't justify flying business but I took the opportunity to make a review of the economy seat. Also I do agree, Qantas has some of the most friendlest staff around! Excellent review Paul!!
On any other airline I would've been nervous with all that turbulence at the end of the flight. But, Qantas has one of the most sterling safety records on planet earth, their pilots take enormous pride in that fact. Another nice report, Paul. I hope you got to see more of Bali than the airport.
Great to see a new Qantas review after a long absence.... apart from the turbulence and the tech delay at the start, it looked like an extremely comfortable experience! Thanks for sharing 😀
Howdy, amazing trip report as always Paul! QANTAS is a decent airline, and I loved the shade you threw at British Airways! Also, that was a cool looking storm!😸😻😸
Hi Paul. Always love your content. Now that us Aussies are finally free to leave the country again after nearly two years locked in, I have booked to fly Qantas to Singapore on A330 200 in BC which is why I was watching. Before changing over to Emirates A380 to Europe. 19th March will be 2 years since this travel nut stepped on a plane. And that was to scurry home from OS before the border shut. Can't wait for this trip. Longest I have been grounded since a kid.
"Braced" ? Yikes, I cannot imagine. Made me think of brace for impact. It's not often you speak of turbulence, so this had to be horrible. Admittedly, my nerves can't handle well a lengthy period of turbulence. Love to see another video... you've been missed.
Paul mate I'm so sorry about your delay. I'm a massive subscriber and I'm extremely awesome on your honest opinion. I can't wait to view the rest of your opinion on the rest of your trip. And mate you have given my counties airlines an awesome review . I'm so proud of them and mate Cheer's 👍
It's in how they manage delays and cancellations that the truly good carriers distinguish themselves from the lot. Qantas didn't do too badly, it would seem.
As an Aussie, it is nice to see videos and reminisce on when we could be proud to fly internationally, with two great airlines (Qantas and Virgin Australia). Hopefully, those days will return. But first, the individual states still have very different restrictions to deal with first!
Love your videos man, it brings me back to my childhood fearlessness of flying, loved the whole airport to destination feeling. I am slowly starting to like flying again and cannot wait to get back up there when all of this Covid madness has stopped.
Such great news Paul that you have a few in the bank! Haven't been on a plane in months - well nine actually. I had 7 flights (for work) booked prior to our lockdown. Pretty sad, but awesome to see parts of my country that I feel so removed from with the current Victorian restrictions. Your timing couldn't be better! :) Thanks so much, I used to take so many of these views for granted - how sad. Love your work!
I sat in the same seat as Paul on one of my SYD/AKL flights on an Qantas A330-200. Qantas was operating their A333-200's between MEL/SYD and AKL until Australian and New Zealand boarders closed. Using their A333-200's was Qantas between Australia and New Zealand is the airline's shortest international flights using this aircraft type.
Maybe useful to know for future reference - that when a leg(s) on a Qantas flight is operated by Jetstar (including Jetstar Asia) the same Qantas entitlements (baggage, food etc) apply. Took me a while to fathom that out earlier this year
Happened to me going to HNL. Don't count on it. Was not on their list for meals movies etc even though I was a QANTAS passenger. Asked to buy a meal and was told they only carried enough for pre paids.
I know what you mean about locals bashing their own domestic airlines. I've never had anything but great service from Qantas and I first flew with them in 1971. BA have always given me decent service too. Maybe not in the top echelons of international carriers but nowhere near as bad as Brits would have you believe. Keep up the good work Paul!
I love turbulence, Last year i was on a flight from Gatwick to Amsterdam and from takeoff to landing it was non stop turbulence, brief moments of 0G, constant up and down, left right, diagonal. Its not for everyone, especially those with motion sickness but i loved it
Great video. Liked the glimpse of the Qantas "retrojet". Really a class act. Qantas was indeed not only "Australia's Overseas Airline", but is likely now Australia's best domestic airline. Were air travel to ever come back, it would be nice to see the three-point belts adopted in all passenger seats. It would be a serious improvement to customer safety and comfort. Interesting to note the flickering from the florescent lights as you were getting ready to board. Reminded my of the old 25 frame flicker on CRT TV's when going from the U.S. to Europe. I'm glad you've been able to chronicle air travel before it was taken away or, at the very least, actively discouraged.
Qantas more or less abandoned Perth for international flights years ago although they did start the non-stop to London before COVID. We flew with Garuda to Bali a year ago and it was a lovely flight with great service. Note: for Australians Bali is like Majorca etc for those from the UK.
As an Indonesian, Bali is too expensive and overrated I mean roadside fried rice costs twice as much in bali than in Jakarta Everything is also more expensive I actually recommend you to visit Jogjakarta or Lake Toba in North Sumatra
@@noobplayer_23 Yes, but tbh Most Tourist Destinations ( looking at you, New York ) are very expensive, if you look ay any expensive city over 50 years ago, it might of been more affordable if it wasn’t for air travel
So true Graham. Only other international is Singapore, or at least I hope so. Booked on Qantas to Singapore for August. After 2 years grounded I can't wait to smell those jet fumes. My fifo hubby is great, another airport, another plane lol
I'm an Aussie and I love Qantas. I'm booked on a QF A330 to Hawaii next year from Sydney. Let's hope we get there! At the moment, all I get to fly is the QF 737's.
Glad to hear you're okay. I worry when we don't hear from you. I am fairly home bound. When it comes to travel, I am a shut-in. I greatly appreciate what you do as I am unlikely to travel in this lifetime.
Thanks Paul, a really enjoyable vlog. I catch your written thru Google News as they often relay good items from Simple Flying. Nice stuff pls keep going!
great review and thanks for posting. Glad your experience with Australian hospitality was good, I feel that we are proficient while also being kind and genuine (mostly). Service on Qantas and Virgin Australia is always great! I'd even say Virgin Aus is even better! Qantas is great also tho
Hey Paul, always enjoy your travel videos. I noticed you made it Auckland in the NZ summer, did you travel at all in NZ? I was hoping on a trip review on the Northern Explorer train between Auckland and Wellington, if you ever get a chance an amazing journey.
Mate, ima kiwi in uk and been subscribed to your channel from before you went full time. Watched everyone of them and you have come along brilliant. Looking forward to binge watching all your “COVID saved” vids. Keep up the amazing, professional work your doing mate. 👍👍👍
I always look forward to watching your videos Paul. Although they tend to make me want to go somewhere hot on a plane which I'm envious of! Most of us aren't going much further than Tesco right now. Oh well Cheers!
Now I know where the food came from on your Tweet! I am desperate to get to see my family in Australia. As a Brit, when do you see travel Down Under resuming? I so miss travelling.
Unfortunately, Australia will be closed for some time, at least until summer 2021 and I do not foresee any appetite for the country opening up sooner than that.
Aus borders will be closed for at least 12 months from now. QF announced today UK US flights unlikely until xmas 2021. Only exceptions maybe special covid bubble travel routes to NZ South Korea Singapore and Taiwan. All those airport shots in the video are now filled with parked smaller aircraft. Most long haul long gone to California.
Spectacular footage, Paul, you're wingin' it and I'm lovin' it! Nope, haven't seen peas in business class recently either (that being said, it's been a looooong while)...
And G'day to you Paul! Hopefully you can come back once this is all over! And yeah, I've given Qantas a miss for a while now, but think I'll be going back to them next time I can go from Perth to Melbourne, given how it's looking for Virgin these days.
Thank you for your content! I’m currently planing to be a transit agency worker in the SF Bay Area as well as continuing my journey as a YT- ber. Keep posting!!!!
Great video, i really liked how you explain things clearly. I also in enjoyed your Singapore/Narita/LAX video, some great advice there. I am Star Alliance member tragic and still find it all a complex equation at times, it is though the best thing to do, join a program, One World, Sky Team ,though i skimp , suffer and save all my loose pennies to fly business whenever i can.Do you have any Asiana or Seoul ICN videos in the pipeline?
Because there’s no point in burning through content unnecessarily when there have been fewer opportunities to travel and make videos - now I’ve managed to film quite a few more, it’s the right time to burn through a bit of the backlog.
Glad to see that you’re back Paul! I really love watching all your business and first class experience videos and especially at night :) idk why though 🤷🏼♂️^^
There was a lot of old aircraft on display in this video (including the one you were on). I didn't know that any flag carriers were still flying the A300, I'm surprised it wasn't more scruffy than it was. Any flight with good service and a thunderstorm to watch is a superb flight in my books. Thanks for a great Video.
@@barvdw Hi Bar. The old plane you saw was a relatively new one. It was painted up to celebrate Qantas history. It was their 100 birthday last year. How Qantas plane looked back in the day.
I do like QANTAS, they tend to be my preference. Glad you had a good experience with them. I don't know how other people's experience tallies, but my impression has always been that Virgin has a bit more pizzazz, however QANTAS tends to get the basics and little stuff down better. I think a mate's summary was quite good: Virgin will have a slicker cabin, but QANTAS will remember to bring you your drink. So it's down to preference, I've had generally good experiences with both. That being said, well, standing in the airport on a Friday afternoon, with a cyclone blowing in, everyone else has ceased flying because of the weather but QANTASLink is somehow still managing to land Q400s so you can go home? That will buy A LOT of loyalty. :P
Hmm…..Qantas cabin crew are renowned for keeping business class meal options for themselves. And if you make enough fuss or appear to have some influence in the industry the option that was not available is in the end available.
I am a subscriber to your channel on TH-cam and want to tell you how much I enjoy your postings.

Unfortunately, Australia will be closed for some time, at least until summer 2021 and I do not foresee any appetite for the country opening up sooner than that.
@@Paul_Lucas That’s what I thought, sadly. Are there any long haul destinations that you will be trying during these strange times?
There is pretty well zero chance of Oz being open to Europe and the US until at least April 2021

great review as usual. Thanks Paul
Seeing the youtube notification from Paul and not clicking is now punishable by law.

This was an A330, not the A300! The aircraft in the video is less than ten years old :-)
@@Paul_Lucas and the plane with the old livery? A heritage livery on a new plane, or an actual older plane? You can tell I know nothing of planes...
@@barvdw That’s a retro livery on a bog standard 737-800 👍🏻

Cant wait and very much looking forward 👍
UK certainly going "through it" right now. Had to cancel our flights to LHR.🙄
I do like QANTAS, they tend to be my preference. Glad you had a good experience with them. I don't know how other people's experience tallies, but my impression has always been that Virgin has a bit more pizzazz, however QANTAS tends to get the basics and little stuff down better.
