Haha the second strong coffee was hilarious! It’s a shame the Emirates A380 doesn’t fly between Auckland and Sydney anymore. Qantas A330 and 787 product is definitely the next best.
Qantas have been serving the same rare beef salad on Domestic J class...I had it on the Australia day long weekend between Sydney and Brisbane. I enjoyed it!
Great trip report! You came up with a brilliant solution to the strong coffee! ;-) [QantasPJs] Edit: adding this (QantasPJs). I just noticed that this was shown on the video! For the record, what I had originally posted is literally "QantasPJs in brackets"! These ( ) are parentheses. These [ ] are brackets!
Just thought I’d let you know I’ve worked in airlines and aviation for 35 years and I really enjoy your videos, very thorough and very well presented 😊
Paul Stewart pleasure mate, not just me, my Dad did 30+ years with Qantas and even knew and played cricket with Sir Hudson Fysh. I worked for various airlines and aviation related companies and now work for myself.
LOL the "American coffee" is literally a droplet of espresso in a cup of hot water. That's actually not too far from the truth! I love it when you take cheeky swipes at other countries but I was expecting you to pick on NZ in this one. I wouldn't mind the Qantas PJ's but I always win them, so I've been selling your pre-worn ones out of a vending machine in Shibuya, Japan for $20k a pop. Making a killing on 'em mate, those salarymen love sniffing the things. So yeah, if you wouldn't mind sending me these ones I'm happy to accept (QantasPJ's please!)
hahaha the coffee!! Another great video Paul Stewart! Beautiful views just after takeoff too! Looked like an uncharacteristically pleasant say in Auckland!!
Thanks for showcasing a great Auckland take off 😍 I like your tips for getting the best out of the trans-Tasman experience. Cheers, Paul. Enjoy your next trip. 👍
Comprehensive commentary and video of the Auckland airport facilities - impressive for a smaller city... then some great footage flying over the NZ coast before winding down for Sydney. As a few have commented - we appreciated the method of diluting the coffee and so reducing the "jitters"!
What an amazing flight review Paul. So informative. Gives me as a single mum of one great insight when I take my son on his first EVER flight. Love the PJs
For a person that has never been on Qantas before, it is nice to see how different airlines treat the customers & the types of food they have (QantasPJs)
The first time I went to Australia in 1988 I was shocked that every time I ordered coffee I was given a little packet of instant coffee and some hot water. I'm glad to see that the coffee culture has come a long way since then. 😁
In 1988 I went to the USA on a Continental aircraft, and asked the flight attendant for a white coffee. The response was "We have black coffee and coffee with cream".
Phil Young We might have been on the same flight as I flew Continental on that trip.🙂 Australian coffee culture has made great inroads here (luckily) although you still might get some stares ordering a flat white. And to be fair, my parents were still drinking instant coffee in 1988. 😄
Paul Stewart good man. I only started drinking coffee at 40 after being reintroduced by a friend (yea a late bloomer) because my first couple of goes in my twenties was with instant stuff and it was like dirty dish water. So it took 20 years before I was convinced to try again a proper barrista made cup.
A smoking deck ! Magnificent !! The 380 may look like an "ugly duckling" but I love flying in them...especially in Business or First...so much room !! It is such a shame that many airlines are going to phase them out of operations in the coming years...but Emirates will still be flying them for many years to come !! A most excellent short haul Business Class flight with QF ! I have flown the "new" a 330 Business class and indeed found it to be one of the best seats in the air. Not sure I could do Perth to London and vice versa to be honest !! Thanks again mate and I always look forward to your flights etc !!
Another wonderful video. Some useful tips about the lounges! I wouldn't have even thought about the Emirates lounge, as you said they're not One World. (QFpyjamas)
The trans Tasman has a great choice of airlines, I flew Sydney to Auckland on Virgin business recently, crew were absolutely amazing no need for IFE, landing once the meal service is completed. Still miss seeing those 4 Emirates A380's at Auckland. (QantasPJs)
another great video Paul. look forward to your videos. flying Qatar from Edinburgh to Perth in 4 weeks time(cant wait).keep those great vids coming. (qantas pj's)
Thanks for another very informative video Paul. Watching your video's is about as close as I will get to traveling by air. I always wanted to travel to Tassie or New Zealand but financially will never be able to afford it. Thanks again and I look forward to your next video. (Qantas PJ's)
Hi Paul, another wonderful capture ✈️. My favourite is still the 330-200 on trans-Tasman flights, but if I end up on a Jet Connect 737 with a great Kiwi cabin manager, I just sit back and enjoy. What I do like is that Qantas are now serving 4 wine options - two Aussie, two Kiwi. Next time skip the over-hyped Squealing Pig Sav Blanc, and try a Kiwi Pinot. I had the Giesen Small Batch last week - sensational! The 787 service to AKL ends in March, but it was a nice use of their 787 assets SYD-SFO-SYD-AKL-SYD-SFO.... Hopefully Qantas will do the same next year. Here’s big thinking for 2021 - if Qantas retain a Queen, they can do the Antartica charters, and also get all us Kiwi’s back to see Emirates Team NZ retain the America’s Cup...... very happy to be a featured guest if that pans out haha.......
Another outstanding vlog which doesn’t disappoint. Hope the passenger who needed help is back to full health. Auckland Airport is looking very modern these days, but I really appreciate all the in-depth tips. You’re so lucky to fly the Dreamliner as most flights are 737, I’ve never been in a wide bodied across the Tasman, but I hear Emirates has cut back now, as they have their one direct flight from Dubai. Keep flying and producing more fab vlogs! (Qantas PJ’s)
Good on ya for traveling in our region and help the economy. I totally agree with your description of aircrafts, Im yet to fly on the A350 in April on Qatar Airways -1000 and -900 so I will be able to compare with the 787. You have overeaten but hey its only for one day and as for the coffee..yeah we can teach the yanks a thing or two. (QantasPJs)
Hi Paul! Greetings from Indonesia. I love everything about aviation, so of course I love to see your trip report. Also I think that 787 is a very nice looking aircraft, hope to fly on one of them someday. (QantasPJ’s)
Thanks Paul for the great review. BTW I thought the strong coffee idea was hilarious! I always enjoy your flight reviews, particularly the ones where things are not what was expected, lol! I agree, the food looked a little lacklustre for Qantas business class! (Qantas PJ's)
cheers! Enjoy! The A330 is certainly the right Qantas aircraft to fly to Tokyo in. I've also got a video on my channel in the A330 business seat too which you might find interesting and help select a seat :)
Entirely fair coffee comment :) (it’s easy to type that after 4 double espresso today. I did find a couple of decent coffee places on my recent US trip). A nice review, and it seems a pleasant way to cross the ditch. Cool tray table!
Awesome video Paul. Nice business cabin, especially compare to the 737-800.The dimming windows are curious. I personally prefer the A350's decision to leave it the passenger. Beautiful production and your choice of music is always complimentary. Thanks for sharing these flights with us!!!
Great review. Very thorough - appreciate the tips. 👍 You helped with a minor medical emergency?! Impressive. Are you a doctor or health professional? 🤔
If you don’t want the caffeine jitters when drinking coffee, either take 150 mg of l-theanine (amino acid from green tea) or drink Yerba mate instead. 😎
Enjoyed your unbiased appraisal as always . Like you I am a fan of the A380 . I’m very much an economy cabin traveller , but have flown in quite a few types , and in honesty I try and avoid the 787 due to its cramped cabin width . If only all 787’s were in the JAL 2-4-2 configuration . Cheers and thanks .

Another great video Paul. Some great memories for me having spent a lot of time commuting to Auckland for work. Sadly it was always on a Jetconnect 738. Does Jetconnect operate this service?
Haha the second strong coffee was hilarious!
It’s a shame the Emirates A380 doesn’t fly between Auckland and Sydney anymore.
Qantas A330 and 787 product is definitely the next best.
Yep those were awesome flights on the A380. It was my first ever time in Emirates First Class and it was an amazing experience :D
But Emirates A380 flies between Christchurch and Sydney
They still fly between *Christchurch* and Sydney
Qantas have been serving the same rare beef salad on Domestic J class...I had it on the Australia day long weekend between Sydney and Brisbane. I enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it. tbh I'm generally not a huge fan of cold mains.
Great aviation report Paul! Nice cabin seat!

I saw the 787 Qantas the other day. Can't wait to try it out.
It's a great aircraft. Where did you see it?
Paul Stewart just days ago on radar
Their new seats look way better than the old ones, though out of most our price ranges
Yep it's a huge improvement.

So it took 20 years before I was convinced to try again a proper barrista made cup.
I’ve a got a question Sir. Paul, how many countries have you been too?
Lost count I'm afraid. :)
Haha, let’s just say, *Alot* !
Okay the coffee joke killed me 😂😂 🇺🇸

787-9 is the most beautiful plane in the skies IMHO
Yep it's a great airliner
The 787 is a beauty and the new seats look way better than the older seats on other Qantas aircraft. (QantasPJs)
Just recently did this on the QF787 and I reckon it’s the best way to make the trans Tasman hop!
cheers Chris! I though you might have taken a cruise ship across the tasman instead!

Another great video Paul. Some great memories for me having spent a lot of time commuting to Auckland for work. Sadly it was always on a Jetconnect 738. Does Jetconnect operate this service?
Cheers Tim. Yep Jet Connect operate the 737s but not the A330s and 787s. My crew usually flew on long-haul 787 and A380 routes.
My favourite aircraft to fly in A380, very comfortable and super quiet.
The A380 is a wonderful piece of engineering. It's a pity there wasn't more interest although it seems the 'big twins' just make more financial sense.
