In Premium Economy there is a trick with the pillow. The pillowcase is designed with a long slit across the pillow. This means you can put the pillow ONTO the headrest, so the pillow won’t drop out of place. It will even stay jn place when you curve the headrest in. Also, if you have a aisle seat, the external wall can drop down which makes it easier to enter & exit the seat, you can turn to out your feet into the aisle before standing. Saves you grabbing the seat in front of you as you stand.
@@daniyalbbd5281 Just because YOU live in delusional land… don’t presume that everyone else inhabits the same fantasy land that you do. Please, enlighten us as to what SPECIFICALLY I said regarding PE on Qantas was wrong. O won;t be holding my breath, by the way,
The food is great. Flew Syd-Lon return in 2023 and premium economy did not disappoint. Very comfy. My dream flight on the kangaroo route is business class though. I need to lie down to sleep!
Agreed, totally not a reality for someone who doesn't have a camera and is clearly filming for a TH-cam video. *Drums fingers on arm rest while waiting......waiting......waiting.....damn, I'll go to the galley myself.
My father tells the story of being on Qantas in the 1980s. It was a massive 747, and he was the only one in the steward's section. Every 45 minutes, the steward kept offering my father a beer. He became rather insistent. "Sir, are you SURE that I can't offer you a beer?" Not wanting to put up with it every 45 minutes all the way across the Pacific, he caved. The steward gave my father a beer, then sat down next to him to have a beer, himself. Apparently, it was Qantas policy that you're not allowed to drink on the job, but you're also not allowed to let a customer drink alone. The steward REALLY wanted a beer.
I flew premium economy via Singapore to Sydney and back from Perth and was so impressed. Worth every penny I paid. Had a really lovely seat neighbour on way to Singapore, we spent a large part of the flight laughing and watching movies. Slept so well on all the international flights. If available, I’d always fly Qantas!
I flew Qantas premium economy Sydney to LAX and Qantas business class LAX to Sydney last year. Service and experience was top notch, and in business we were given comfy Qantas pyjamas as the LA to Syd flight was overnight. You get to keep these
Paul Lucas bores me to tears and besides if there's better aviation youtubers why are you so bothered it's so short? Concise and to the point- he smashed it.
So you like paid fake reviews? The whole thing is a set up, he has early access to the flight, no one sits next to him in economy, the staff attend to him in less than 13 seconds (when has that ever happened), he doesn’t say one bad word about them. Reeks to me of QF (under the new CEO Vanessa) trying to now spin some good PR after Joyce left

Great comparisons. You really should have included the cost of each leg of travel and comment on whether the difference in price is worth the price difference.
I’m glad he doesn’t show the price because at the moment they can fluctuate madly within hours. I booked two premium economy seats for Melbourne Australia to LAX return a couple of months ago with QANTAS, while I usually fly business I couldn’t justify the costs of the ticket for a 14 year old. Today I was able to upgrade for both of us to business for AUD$1200 each in addition to the original booked seats. Outcome thousands less than it was when originally booked. If he told you the price of the tickets it may either put you off all together or disappoint you when you can’t get the same price. A little bit of research and work can make a real difference with any airline at the moment.
The Australian Government blocked Qatar Airways attempt to launch Domestic Routes in Australia to Protect Qantas' monopoly despite the fact Qantas is a private company.
I'm flying Qantas to Australia next week premium economy there and business back and this video has got me very excited for my flight. Thanks for the review :)
this type of video is fantastic! i love that you packed all 4 seats in one video. much easier than having to look up all 4 seats seperately!! i'd love to see a video like this on different airlines. especially when you're alone. i can watch economy, then it's premium, etc. rathern than everything together!
As an Aussie flying Qantas all the time and passing through Sydney airport, watching him explore a DIFFERENT airline that is just standard to me at this point is very cool.
Nice! though the 1st class looks like SQ business class...these days the competition on the LHR - SYD route is strong - you've got Emirates, Qatar, Singapore Airlines, Etihad? - all of them offering a superior first class and business class product. More space, more privacy - which is the key really. If I was going to Austraila, it would be Singapore Business Class all the way - an amazing hard and soft product.
Fabulous vid. My Dad worked with Qantas then Civil Aviation for many years. My go to airline. Hopefully will get an upgrade to First Class between Singapore and London on the way to Warsaw, Poland. Still haven’t travelled Premium Economy. Too spoilt with Business and First. Thx guys. 👏
They've completely upgraded their products in J, PY and Y! Looks really good. The PY is literally a PREMIUM economy product...almost equivalent to EK's... unlike SQ's PY which is a Y ++ at best.
As an Aussie who fly's many international first and business class flights, QantAss is nothing to be proud of. QantAss is consistently the worst from booking flights until the end of the flight.
@@AnneMB955 Flights are usually not bad, however trying to sleep in their Business class is like being rolled in a sleeping bag with no room to move. Many airlines with more space for business and first. However, that's not the main issue. The customer service is abominable. Just look at all the horrendous reviews of people waiting on the phone for sometimes up to 6 or 7 hours. And you can't send them an inquiry because they don't respond for weeks and sometimes months, and by that time it's too late. If you are not able to make changes online/app, then you are screwed. I fly a lot and have been experiencing this for the past few years. I did like QantAss about 5 years ago, but naw, compared to other airlines they are pitiful. Good for you to have loyalty and good experiences. But when flying dozens of times per year, just having to deal with their customer service even once or twice repels you.
So, the crew was ready for your call bell challenge, but don't expect that lightning speed on a packed flight. Let's be honest, it was unrealistic to think otherwise.
I was expecting to see four people (including Nicky) in this episode, but, I love seeing Nicky anyways. (And don’t tell the other TPG crew this, but Nicky is probably my personal favourite past, present, and future).
I was so excited for this one, and I’m a fan of Qantas even these days with all their recent controversies. But! This video just came across as one gigantic Qantas ad. My guy even gave big ups to the economy headset (next shot he’s wearing his own) Guy was allowed on board before anyone else, crew were ready for call bell, it was all just a bit rigged. Don’t get me wrong, I like Qantas and I like this channel, but this was nonsense.
I love Nicky's reviews and commentary. Very detailed commentary, and his passion for aviation shines through time and time again! I think more people will take to the skies if Nicky did more reviews!!
Qantas are in the dog house in Australia at present on service, reliability and cancellations. After a year of delays cancellations lost luggage etc we are done with them! This was a good representation of what they once were. Glad you enjoyed it but sadly this is not the norm anymore.
My recent experiences have been completely different to what poeple keep saying they are like. So i really question whether its just people repeating ad nauseum the bad crap for some reason. Sure i've had a few cancelled flights between Canberra and Sydney, which is not ideal, but better than other airlines who have cancelled flights and can't fly til a day or two later. Then there was a LATAM flight that got cancelled while taxiing on the runway and i was stranded for over 24 hours. I had no issues with refunds or credits during Covid either. I accept people have had issues though, but don't think its close to being as bad as people make it out to be.
Nope just experienced terrible service from Qantas, they outsourced everything to pay Alan and shareholders and cutting corners has reaped predictable results.
Well done on showing the full product on the ground as well as in the air. So many TH-cam reviewers will ‘review’ an economy seat and spend most of the video in their first class lounge pre flight 😁 thanks!
You missed the best part of Sydney Flounge - Nestor at the entrance! Being based in QLD, hadn’t flown ex Syd Int for 3 years wth Covid shutdowns, and he still remembered me my first flight back could months ago.
As an Aussie I am so happy to FINALLY have one of these videos on Qantas. Also I’m happy you had a great experience. Qantas gets absolutely battered for their onboard experience so I’m glad to see some good reviews of it (I find they also have a good onboard product). I can’t wait to be flying with them to London next year on the a380 in premium economy. It looks excellent!
They get battered? That surprises me, flown with them a number of times and I honestly couldn't fault them, some of the best meals I've ever had in economy!
Just returned from the QF1/2 on Premium Economy. His review is on point. I have noticed the quality of the meal has dropped over the years. Its still good, but just dipped. Otherwise, Qantas PE is a nice comfortable way to travel. Edit: worth noting... for my London-Singapore leg, is was in the bulkhead seat, row 31, and the entire rows screens had no audio. The row rehind row 32, was empty, so after takeoff i popped back a row. The row was empty because those screens were broken. So i read & slept my way to Singapore. I asked about changing my Singapore to Sydney seat. I was given an apology, and comp'd some FF points, and moved to 32F (same seat Liam had). On that flight all six defective seats were sold to unlucky customers. I was disappointed to see Qantas knowingly selling those tickets.
I recently did Qantas to/from Australia from LHR on the Boeing 787 & Airbus A380 in economy both ways and I was very impressed with the product on these flights that were both 16hr & 14hr long!
Really? I flew 787 from PER to MEL and the seats were very small, especially for long haul. Delayed my flight 3 times and by 6 hours. Had a broken chair that didn’t lock into a position. Crew unhelpful.
@@MrNigelFarage I had two good long-haul flights. Did 9x Qantas flights on my trip overall and only had two flights with any lengthy delays which didn't have any major impact on my trip.
Great review mr, cheered me up ! Love the 4 class comparison, and a great product. I have flown Qantas to Bangkok ages ago (and trw in 1997) and already then rated them very high. It would be more interesting with 2 or 4 colleagues on the same flight, but , this is a ghgo review. The food in PE was as you said business class level.
To all those criticising the Economy review for being unrealistic… Qantas is the only airline that has ever brought me business class amenities and business class food back to economy as a regular passenger just for being nice to the FAs. Qantas service can go a long way with the right crew. Plus with surely he would have Oneworld status to get on board first with the first class passengers
I saw u in the plane 😂😂😂 because my dad was the pilot 😂 and because u flew it once takeoff I get to sit on the cockpit floor and watch from the cockpit if your plane has a bitter day thanks to me❤ Thanks for flying quantas fly again
Premium economy looks great I really appreciate your video as you actually show the functions and seating which is really the reason most people pick it. I'll be travelling on a long flight with my kids so couldn't afford premium or business but if I could business and first class looks amazing and my god the comfort with kids would be amazing.
Glad to see Qantas provide an excellent service to you Nicky. Everything they use is environmental friendly. One thing I like from Qantas whether I am in which class is the sense of Home. The cabin crew treat the passenger like part of the family. Especially, the cabin announcement. Nicky if you wanna try something else from Qantas, try out their Domestic flight. It might be a little different but the service are the same.
@@AnneMB955 yeah my experience and many other Aussies. Qantas has been on a downward spiral for a while now. It was really bad for a while over Covid. Had my flights cancelled and they did not even refund me until this year (tried giving me flight credit refunds of the amount I paid but flight prices have risen since so if I was to book the same flight I would have to pay the flight credit refund plus nearly double in actual money).
There is a trick with the pillows in PE. There is an opening on the back of the pillowcase that is the length of the pillow. You can slip the back of the pillow case over the wings on the headrest. This way, your pillow won’t move or fall down. Also, for the aisle seats, the outer wall can drop down, so you can turn & put your feet into the aisle. Makes it easier to get up & down out of the seat… reduces the need to ‘pull’ on the seat in front of you for leverage.
Awesome flight report and all that was missing was Liam. Thanks for the close ups of the food and the lounge tour. #Qantas seems like the forgotten airline that could! No one really needs to shower on an airline but we all want a decent meal and a comfortable seat. Truly outstanding travel vlog - thanks for all the work taken to film, edit, and post. #ThePointsGuy
For the first time in ages, I've actually thought maybe QF long haul could be ok. I've never really had a great experience with them in the past. But glad you have great flights.
SO EPIC! Cannot wait to see the review! After watching my only thoughts! WOW 🤩 JUST WOW 🤩 Talk about an INCREDIBLE and INDULGENT EXPERIENCE that’s for sure! Cannot wait to try QANTAS and their A380 hopefully someday from LAX-SYD maybe in Premium Economy as that’s all I could ever afford! 😂😂
Nice A380 review. To get the real Qantas economy experience that the masses have to endure you can do 10 hours Sydney-Tokyo in a cramped ageing A330 with no legroom and a bulky inflight entertainment screen that is 10cm (4 in) from your face when the person in front reclines which they always do. Give me JAL or ANA any time!
When you were talking to your homies from Yorkshire your accent changed mate! I lived in Australia for 11 years and flew QF often domestically and quite a few times internationally, including Business class to Vancouver and back and LAX economy. The domestic flights were always great service. On the North American flights the cabin crew were often in their 50s and you could tell they were over it.
It’s funny, I’m from New Zealand and you know that our airline is competing with these guys all the dang time, however I really like QF and they have the edge! And I’ve always found the premium economy food amazing! Always have a look at the website after booking as there is usually an exclusive meal you can pre order 😊
@@Tmc3580let’s be honest, all airlines in Australia are unreliable. I’ve had more experiences with Virgin cancelling or delaying flights than any other airline in the last few years.
I've flown premium economy many times over the years Qantas is one of the better offers out there, up there with Singapore and Emirates and the seats are definitely improving. For someone with back issues and my 6 foot partner it's great to have the extra seat and leg room without spending the big money on business.
Great you did all 4 classes as that hits everyone interest, I usually fly economy with Qantas for work and tick near all the boxes. First class seat needs a screen/ door like Emirates etc etc as that would make it in top 3 I think 🤔
Impressive. The last BA Club Class flight I took (Tampa to LHR) would have been put to shame by Qantas Economy. BA's recent announcement that it is aiming to regain its (distant) title as the World's Favourite Airline means it has a mountain to climb, and then some. Hard to believe that any carrier could now better Qantas.
"Hard to believe that any carrier could now better Qantas." Have you been living under a rock? Qantas pales in comparison to ME3, SQ, CX, Asiana, Japan Airlines and many more
Flew from London premium economy with Qantas and the couple in front got on in Singapore. They were British and flew BA to Singapore and were shocked at the difference in premium economy on Qantas,they said they wouldn’t fly BA again.Asked us if it was a one off and we assured them we had done it six times always the same experience.
I recently flew from London and saw the Quantas A380 next to our BA’s A320, and was literally mesmerised by this beautiful giant. I hope I get to fly in an A380 soon. 😊❤
Maybe its just me but I will go out of my way to fly Qantas. I literally just got off my return flight from HKG-MEL (Business) and yes it had a 3hr delay on they way up and a 2hr delay on the way back but the service was impeccable and the seat was super comfy and just overall was a great experience and flight.
The reason that there is no wifi on international Qantas flights is because they are currently working towards being able to provide free wifi for all passengers on those international flights (just like a large chunk of their domestic flights). Hope this answered that! 10:34
He was smart: did economy and premium economy on the shorter legs, and business and first on the longer legs. That mixed it up in the video as he presented by class rather than leg.
I am travelling First Class every time I fly.....ohhh OMG I just woke up... I must have been dreaming...Now heading back to Economy....oh wait I can't even afford that. 🤣🤣Thank you for sharing this video. I am truly looking to go to London and looking at every clip and every hint I can find...It will be a bucket list trip for my wife and I and maybe only a one off...The problem for us is that we live on an island and that means we have to travel to Australia...another set of flight costs, Hotel costs there and back. Then pay for the rest of the trip to London and back. Do they have room in Baggage? Cheers mate for your vidoes.
That was great. I’ve only ever flown in economy Sydney to LA return & Sydney Dallas return. I’m flying to LA again on the A 380 in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait, even though it’s economy
Very nice to see the recline moves the seat squab forward so it doesn't intrude too much on the person behind. I've seen a nasty trend in recent years for premium economy seats to recline more and more, to the point where it's genuine intrusive for the person behind and can even make getting in and our of their seat problematic. This moving squab system should be the standard.
I've got to be honest, the 1st class seat looked very similar to Business Class. Not really wow if you compare to Emirates, Singapore, ANA, Qatar, Cathay Whereas other airlines there would be more of disparity, as there should be with the difference in price
The only difference is it doesn't have a door.. the actual floorspace is still much larger than Business.. In business your feet are under the person in fronts side table. Ultimately you pay for space... The difference in food and drinks is minimal $ wise.
Flew London to Singapore in 1996 on a 744 in economy then on the Brisbane with flight number QF52. 747-200. The service was amazing then with real porcelain main course dish, metal cutlery, menu cards, Australian crew that were so down to Earth and friendly. The seats were also a lot more comfortable in economy back then. Still have the menu cards after all these years. There was no individual TV screens but the crew handed out playing cards and games and there was a movie shown on the main screen., for anyone interested. The crew came round every hour with drinks and you could ask for Tim Tams, biscuits and alcoholic drinks without judgement. What an airline Qantas used to be. Today I dread to think.
What I do not understand this :Ialthough my flight is booked for March ,next year,through a T A ,on economy (it is part of a special cruise deal,which include flight and accommodation) I cannot upgrade it to business .I have quite a lot of points.and I can pay for it…no I have to go back to my travel agent to deal with it…but the travel agent said no you have to tell Qantas…This time it is QF flight,both way to Narita…I had the same problem in 2023 trying to upgrade a flight to Dubai with QF code share with Emirate…Qantas:”check with Emirate…Emirate:”check with Qantas…did not get anywhere…IAM 85yo…and handicap…no empathy none at all from Qantasand furthermore Qantas club life…😢😢😢😢
Great video Nicky. Even Economy looks pretty high end. BTW, what is the record or number of Pluffies in a video? Maybe we need to ask Mr Pluffy himself? Thanks for doing these.

Unfortunately, they never will be as good anymore. It's a shame and embarrassing they just kept plunging down.
Qantas is very much like this internationally still. Don’t generalise your poor experiences as the norm.
My recent experiences have been completely different to what poeple keep saying they are like. So i really question whether its just people repeating ad nauseum the bad crap for some reason. Sure i've had a few cancelled flights between Canberra and Sydney, which is not ideal, but better than other airlines who have cancelled flights and can't fly til a day or two later. Then there was a LATAM flight that got cancelled while taxiing on the runway and i was stranded for over 24 hours. I had no issues with refunds or credits during Covid either. I accept people have had issues though, but don't think its close to being as bad as people make it out to be.
Nope just experienced terrible service from Qantas, they outsourced everything to pay Alan and shareholders and cutting corners has reaped predictable results.
No they’re not! A minority of naysayers just like to be noticed. Ignore them.
Well done on showing the full product on the ground as well as in the air. So many TH-cam reviewers will ‘review’ an economy seat and spend most of the video in their first class lounge pre flight 😁 thanks!
You missed the best part of Sydney Flounge - Nestor at the entrance! Being based in QLD, hadn’t flown ex Syd Int for 3 years wth Covid shutdowns, and he still remembered me my first flight back could months ago.
Your video presentation style is spot on + the video editing makes watching a joy. Well done.
As an Aussie I am so happy to FINALLY have one of these videos on Qantas. Also I’m happy you had a great experience. Qantas gets absolutely battered for their onboard experience so I’m glad to see some good reviews of it (I find they also have a good onboard product). I can’t wait to be flying with them to London next year on the a380 in premium economy. It looks excellent!
They get battered? That surprises me, flown with them a number of times and I honestly couldn't fault them, some of the best meals I've ever had in economy!
Just returned from the QF1/2 on Premium Economy. His review is on point. I have noticed the quality of the meal has dropped over the years. Its still good, but just dipped. Otherwise, Qantas PE is a nice comfortable way to travel.
Edit: worth noting... for my London-Singapore leg, is was in the bulkhead seat, row 31, and the entire rows screens had no audio. The row rehind row 32, was empty, so after takeoff i popped back a row. The row was empty because those screens were broken. So i read & slept my way to Singapore.
I asked about changing my Singapore to Sydney seat. I was given an apology, and comp'd some FF points, and moved to 32F (same seat Liam had). On that flight all six defective seats were sold to unlucky customers. I was disappointed to see Qantas knowingly selling those tickets.
@@ryanwilliamson9578you haven't experienced much then or need to tru other airlines as well to see your money is not worth it with them.
Fly 10 hours Australia to Japan in a cramped A330 instead of an A380 to see a crud Qantas onboard product.
Anyone who batters Qantas is just a serial naysayer. Been travelling with them since the 60s. Nothing but comfort and professionalism.
I recently did Qantas to/from Australia from LHR on the Boeing 787 & Airbus A380 in economy both ways and I was very impressed with the product on these flights that were both 16hr & 14hr long!
Really? I flew 787 from PER to MEL and the seats were very small, especially for long haul. Delayed my flight 3 times and by 6 hours. Had a broken chair that didn’t lock into a position. Crew unhelpful.
@@MrNigelFarage I had two good long-haul flights. Did 9x Qantas flights on my trip overall and only had two flights with any lengthy delays which didn't have any major impact on my trip.
@@MrNigelFarageJust you. 99% of us have no problems.
Great review mr, cheered me up !
Love the 4 class comparison, and a great product. I have flown Qantas to Bangkok ages ago (and trw in 1997) and already then rated them very high. It would be more interesting with 2 or 4 colleagues on the same flight, but , this is a ghgo review. The food in PE was as you said business class level.
To all those criticising the Economy review for being unrealistic… Qantas is the only airline that has ever brought me business class amenities and business class food back to economy as a regular passenger just for being nice to the FAs. Qantas service can go a long way with the right crew. Plus with surely he would have Oneworld status to get on board first with the first class passengers
Very informative flight review, well produced and presented.
I saw u in the plane 😂😂😂 because my dad was the pilot 😂 and because u flew it once takeoff I get to sit on the cockpit floor and watch from the cockpit if your plane has a bitter day thanks to me❤
Thanks for flying quantas fly again
Premium economy looks great I really appreciate your video as you actually show the functions and seating which is really the reason most people pick it. I'll be travelling on a long flight with my kids so couldn't afford premium or business but if I could business and first class looks amazing and my god the comfort with kids would be amazing.
Glad to see Qantas provide an excellent service to you Nicky. Everything they use is environmental friendly.
One thing I like from Qantas whether I am in which class is the sense of Home. The cabin crew treat the passenger like part of the family. Especially, the cabin announcement.
Nicky if you wanna try something else from Qantas, try out their Domestic flight. It might be a little different but the service are the same.
That's if they don't cancel the flight or lose your baggage mate.
Not necessarily, as the domestic flights are operated by other regional airlines under QF branding.
@@mattybaby1116When does that happen? Just your experience?
@@AnneMB955 yeah my experience and many other Aussies. Qantas has been on a downward spiral for a while now. It was really bad for a while over Covid. Had my flights cancelled and they did not even refund me until this year (tried giving me flight credit refunds of the amount I paid but flight prices have risen since so if I was to book the same flight I would have to pay the flight credit refund plus nearly double in actual money).
There is a trick with the pillows in PE. There is an opening on the back of the pillowcase that is the length of the pillow. You can slip the back of the pillow case over the wings on the headrest. This way, your pillow won’t move or fall down. Also, for the aisle seats, the outer wall can drop down, so you can turn & put your feet into the aisle. Makes it easier to get up & down out of the seat… reduces the need to ‘pull’ on the seat in front of you for leverage.
as an aussie i have been waiting for you to fly out of sydney with Qantas (the best airline ever)
Getting decent coffee in Australia is an understatement.
We have great coffee🎉
Awesome flight report and all that was missing was Liam. Thanks for the close ups of the food and the lounge tour. #Qantas seems like the forgotten airline that could! No one really needs to shower on an airline but we all want a decent meal and a comfortable seat. Truly outstanding travel vlog - thanks for all the work taken to film, edit, and post. #ThePointsGuy
The others are jealous of Liam because he alone makes the channel. The others are boring and beige by comparison.
For the first time in ages, I've actually thought maybe QF long haul could be ok. I've never really had a great experience with them in the past. But glad you have great flights.
The thumbnail shows him having a blast in economy and premium, while he seems so formal in business and first 😆
Really love this short comparison, please do more like this!
Qantas get a lot of criticism but I think they do a great job always had a pleasant experience with Qantas
Ohh.. finally got to see the real point guys ...😊
Let's go🎉
SO EPIC! Cannot wait to see the review!
After watching my only thoughts! WOW 🤩 JUST WOW 🤩 Talk about an INCREDIBLE and INDULGENT EXPERIENCE that’s for sure! Cannot wait to try QANTAS and their A380 hopefully someday from LAX-SYD maybe in Premium Economy as that’s all I could ever afford! 😂😂
Glad you are flying the flag carrier of Australia
That was amazing! I live vicariously through y'all! 👍🏻🫶🏻
Nice A380 review. To get the real Qantas economy experience that the masses have to endure you can do 10 hours Sydney-Tokyo in a cramped ageing A330 with no legroom and a bulky inflight entertainment screen that is 10cm (4 in) from your face when the person in front reclines which they always do. Give me JAL or ANA any time!
When you were talking to your homies from Yorkshire your accent changed mate! I lived in Australia for 11 years and flew QF often domestically and quite a few times internationally, including Business class to Vancouver and back and LAX economy. The domestic flights were always great service. On the North American flights the cabin crew were often in their 50s and you could tell they were over it.
Premium economy SYD-DFW coming up..looking forward to it! Thanks for sharing! And especially being able to get up to the snack bar!
It’s funny, I’m from New Zealand and you know that our airline is competing with these guys all the dang time, however I really like QF and they have the edge! And I’ve always found the premium economy food amazing! Always have a look at the website after booking as there is usually an exclusive meal you can pre order 😊
They are on the edge of the edge of being the most unreliable, untrustworthy airline in Australia.
@@Tmc3580let’s be honest, all airlines in Australia are unreliable. I’ve had more experiences with Virgin cancelling or delaying flights than any other airline in the last few years.
Air NZ are excellent, i used premium economy and was very impressed. I would choose them over Qantas any day.
@@Arrwmkr Wish Air NZ would do domestic Routes in Australia.
Love the Air New Zealand ads. Will get there one day, for the 3rd time. 👋🏻
This video was very entertaining. Quality content, never considered flying Qantas till now !
One of the best airlines in the world right now
I've flown premium economy many times over the years Qantas is one of the better offers out there, up there with Singapore and Emirates and the seats are definitely improving. For someone with back issues and my 6 foot partner it's great to have the extra seat and leg room without spending the big money on business.
Thank you sir, last time I travelled on Quaint toss as many called it back then was in 1998. Looks like they have improved a lot.
The fact that you had a row to your self in economy. Count your self lucky
I really loved this video. Great to see all the classes. Just subscribed to your channel. You are absolutely fabulous
Great you did all 4 classes as that hits everyone interest, I usually fly economy with Qantas for work and tick near all the boxes. First class seat needs a screen/ door like Emirates etc etc as that would make it in top 3 I think 🤔
Impressive. The last BA Club Class flight I took (Tampa to LHR) would have been put to shame by Qantas Economy. BA's recent announcement that it is aiming to regain its (distant) title as the World's Favourite Airline means it has a mountain to climb, and then some. Hard to believe that any carrier could now better Qantas.
"Hard to believe that any carrier could now better Qantas." Have you been living under a rock? Qantas pales in comparison to ME3, SQ, CX, Asiana, Japan Airlines and many more
Flew from London premium economy with Qantas and the couple in front got on in Singapore. They were British and flew BA to Singapore and were shocked at the difference in premium economy on Qantas,they said they wouldn’t fly BA again.Asked us if it was a one off and we assured them we had done it six times always the same experience.
I wonder who decides the ranking. Those who are the most easily influenced with handouts? 😉
I recently flew from London and saw the Quantas A380 next to our BA’s A320, and was literally mesmerised by this beautiful giant. I hope I get to fly in an A380 soon. 😊❤
BA narrow bodies fry from terminal 5A. 5B 5C are for wide bodies. How was the Quantas next to your A320?
Just curious
@@charlesjay8818 I think it was T3 and I was flying to Sofia or Bucharest. The A320 was tiny as compared to the A380. I was mesmerised 😍.
It's QANTAS not Quanta's, seriously 😒
@@JoanneBurford09 Is that all you noted ? Hold your horses… It’s a typo !
Maybe its just me but I will go out of my way to fly Qantas. I literally just got off my return flight from HKG-MEL (Business) and yes it had a 3hr delay on they way up and a 2hr delay on the way back but the service was impeccable and the seat was super comfy and just overall was a great experience and flight.
I will too, but there seems to be this thing, where hating on Qantas is all the rage.
Yeah and it's quite sad 😢
@@JustinWatson23When I hear naysayers, I’ll ask them when they flew last. No-one so far.
I loved it when he squished the bread in economy class and the squeaky sound came out 🤣
How was it that you were always able to be on board before anyone else? Interesting video thank you.
He is getting all the benefit for free to promote the Arline !
Exactly no one next to him all a con and false
@@Andrew.-.-womp womp
I’ve been waiting for this for ages! Let’s gooo
The reason that there is no wifi on international Qantas flights is because they are currently working towards being able to provide free wifi for all passengers on those international flights (just like a large chunk of their domestic flights). Hope this answered that! 10:34
When will it happen ?..
@@simonf8902 They're hoping by the time the Project sunrise flights start commercial service, or a bit after that.
Thanks for reviewing our Flying 🦘. What do you rate the Tim Tam out of 5?
I can’t stop watching it
Definitely would have done the economy on a shorter leg....
He was smart: did economy and premium economy on the shorter legs, and business and first on the longer legs. That mixed it up in the video as he presented by class rather than leg.
Oooh zero carb doc. How do you manage food on flights? I am zero carbs too.
I am travelling First Class every time I fly.....ohhh OMG I just woke up... I must have been dreaming...Now heading back to Economy....oh wait I can't even afford that. 🤣🤣Thank you for sharing this video.
I am truly looking to go to London and looking at every clip and every hint I can find...It will be a bucket list trip for my wife and I and maybe only a one off...The problem for us is that we live on an island and that means we have to travel to Australia...another set of flight costs, Hotel costs there and back. Then pay for the rest of the trip to London and back.
Do they have room in Baggage?
Cheers mate for your vidoes.
Save up, it’s well worth it. ✈️
Excellent video, thanks for sharing.
That was great. I’ve only ever flown in economy Sydney to LA return & Sydney Dallas return. I’m flying to LA again on the A 380 in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait, even though it’s economy
I love the business class on qantas A380 I took business class to Moscow and it was great but think that business class is better
Qantas has the best boarding music of any airline
I love flying home to Australia. When we fly into Aus airspace it’s the best place in the world 💚💛🇦🇺
So understand your thought processes. Hearing an Aussie accent as we head home is so comforting.
Brilliant watch as always 🙌
Very nice to see the recline moves the seat squab forward so it doesn't intrude too much on the person behind. I've seen a nasty trend in recent years for premium economy seats to recline more and more, to the point where it's genuine intrusive for the person behind and can even make getting in and our of their seat problematic. This moving squab system should be the standard.
Awesome video, more soon, please 😊
This makes me want to fly Qantas 👌🏻
I've got to be honest, the 1st class seat looked very similar to Business Class. Not really wow if you compare to Emirates, Singapore, ANA, Qatar, Cathay
Whereas other airlines there would be more of disparity, as there should be with the difference in price
The only difference is it doesn't have a door.. the actual floorspace is still much larger than Business..
In business your feet are under the person in fronts side table.
Ultimately you pay for space... The difference in food and drinks is minimal $ wise.
Having flown both Qantas Business and First, they are very different but still amazingly comfortable.
I would love to see more of the outside of the Plane and wing views, etc. in your videos :)
almost expected Liam to appear to do the economy and premium economy seats.
I've never had to wait any longer!
Flew London to Singapore in 1996 on a 744 in economy then on the Brisbane with flight number QF52. 747-200. The service was amazing then with real porcelain main course dish, metal cutlery, menu cards, Australian crew that were so down to Earth and friendly. The seats were also a lot more comfortable in economy back then. Still have the menu cards after all these years. There was no individual TV screens but the crew handed out playing cards and games and there was a movie shown on the main screen., for anyone interested. The crew came round every hour with drinks and you could ask for Tim Tams, biscuits and alcoholic drinks without judgement. What an airline Qantas used to be. Today I dread to think.
What I do not understand this :Ialthough my flight is booked for March ,next year,through a T A ,on economy (it is part of a special cruise deal,which include flight and accommodation) I cannot upgrade it to business .I have quite a lot of points.and I can pay for it…no I have to go back to my travel agent to deal with it…but the travel agent said no you have to tell Qantas…This time it is QF flight,both way to Narita…I had the same problem in 2023 trying to upgrade a flight to Dubai with QF code share with Emirate…Qantas:”check with Emirate…Emirate:”check with Qantas…did not get anywhere…IAM 85yo…and handicap…no empathy none at all from Qantasand furthermore Qantas club life…😢😢😢😢
Great video Nicky. Even Economy looks pretty high end. BTW, what is the record or number of Pluffies in a video? Maybe we need to ask Mr Pluffy himself? Thanks for doing these.
