Ahhh, Auckland. One of Sydney's most beautiful suburbs. :-) Seroiusly, NZ a beautiful country with wonderful people. Flew that route a lot when I lived in Australia.
Wait I thought Auckland was a suburb of the Gold Coast...
haha
Michael Occulto 😂
@@unknowntraveller8633 think youre confusing auckland for samoa bro
Again interesting commentary and video preceding and during the flight to Auckland, also handy hints for new chums, great to hear the spooling up of engines on take-off before ascending into the sky and viewing the sunset at the end of another day .. Thanks Paul again!
I love your videos mate, always keeping us updated on your flights, love it!
Great sunset views. As always another brilliant review. Thanks Paul (QF Amenity Kit )
god i miss EKs A380 between AKL and BNE/SYD,,,, was always great flying F even for a short haul...
Definitely
yep AKL-SYD was my first ever experience in EK F :)
Yeah you would

Great video Paul! Love the Qantas Livery, and that Wing/Engine view. May I also say that the Winglets are absolutely beautiful! Great video quality too! Keep it up
cheers mate. Yep the winglets look mint.
Gosh New Zealand is such a Beautiful place I love watching videos about travelling and I’m happy your channel is about travel. Keep up the good work. 😁
Really want to visit oz and New Zealand , have family in both so one day soon . Great report and thanks again . Loving your channel
Beautiful sunset Paul! Cheers
Thanks for another great flight review, Paul. 👍 You're right about the sunsets/sunrises from the plane: I often think how lucky I am; my great-grandparents never flew, so never saw this, but I get to several times a year. Cheers, Paul. ✈️
cheers Michael
We thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Keep up the good work, Stewart. From your fellow health care colleagues, Renee and Stan :)
Great video Paul! Loved those sunset views.
cheers mate
What a fantastic sunset view!
cheers Olivia
Amazing Sunset view.~ Lovely.
Excellent video quality!
cheers Alex
Man you always eat a full meal and drink a lot of stuff I'm amazed. I hardly ever eat anything on flights, you're a champ.
Another great video! Thanks Paul!
cheers mate
Thanks for this review Paul. Flying Qantas business class on the 737 from SYD-MEL in September so I know what to expect. 😊
cheers Elizabeth
Excellent video Mr Stewart.
cheers mate
WOW!!!! Felt like the seat design was really well done with the amenities of the seat accessible. Food looked amazing, and Paul I agree with you, any chance I get, I try to get on a 747 while they are still in service. Great review
Cheers. Yep, I just flew to Melbourne for 2hrs yesterday to catch one of the domestic 747 flights haha.
Great video mate
cheers my friend
Amazing Vid mate!!
Cheers Tobi
Great Video! 👍
cheers mate
Loved the video again Paul! One day I need to fly this route 😜
cheers Adam
I like that he bought some chocolates for the crew. That’s so sweet (no pun intended)!
Really going to miss the queen of the skies, she really is a beaut.
(QFamenitykit)
yep :(
Hey Paul! The views of the sunset are exquisite. You are 100% correct about watching outside the window and seeing the majestic skies at dawn and dusk! I really like when you film those moments.
(QFamenitykit)
Cheers Tammy
another great flight report Paul. really look forward to them. keep up the great work.( QFamenitykit)
cheers Davy
Your starter was the Same as me when I flew Qantas businesses class to Wellington 😁. I had the bulkhead wall in front of me so plenty legroom which was a blast
glad you enjoyed it!
@@PaulStewartAviation very much so. Nice treat for myself
Hello , Paul I hope you remember me great video as always (QFamenitykit).
Great footage Paul but that seat looks pretty subpar! It's a good tip to get fly in the A330s although I didn't realise that Emirates even had a lounge at Auckland! Cheers
Good to get the chance to see what the current business class offering is like on the B737 Paul. I always feel there should be a price difference between that and the new seat on the B787 and A330. I see many airlines now offer ice cream as a dessert in their business class, but I think it is just a lazy option! I understood Jetconnect ceased operations in 2018, with all trans-Tasman routes now being operated by Qantas. I believe this was because Qantas wanted these aircraft to fly domestic routes within Australia as well as across the Tasman, but as the Jetconnect aircraft were not registered in Australia, they were unable to do so, opting instead to transfer the Jetconnect routes back to Qantas in order to give the airline greater flexibility.
Jetconnect is still around and only provides NZ based flight and cabin crew for the B737s that overnight in AKL and WLG and occasionally on Qantas long haul services. Jetconnect AOC was cancelled in 2018 and the NZ registered B737's were re-registered in Australia under Qantas AOC.
you love coffee martini! I'm inspired by you to try that out😝Great and enjoyable video Paul!!
haha cheers mate. Send me a message next time you're in SYD.
Awesome video
cheers
Maybe I might get one of these in the future, great video as always Paul 🙂
(QFamenitykit)
Awesome! I really like Qantas’s 737 businesses class. Very good food!
cheers Henry. Love the sunset in your profile pic.
Paul Stewart Thanks so much! It was taken in America
Great video as usual. Love the QF 747s, classic look! (QFamenitykit)
Cheers Steffen. Yep the 744s look great
I remember seeing my first sunrise in the air. I was flying on an Air Canada L-1011 (yes, old) from Calgary to Toronto and the sun just literally popped up over the horizon. The engine lit up. There was just something about that moment and all of the world was right.
Yes it's amazing when the engine is lit up in that warm orange/purple/pink glow.
I live in northern England love your channel
Glad to see you hopping over the Tasman again, hope you had a good stay from all us Kiwis :) (QFamemitykit)
I did. I attended a wedding near Bombay and picked up a rental car and drove around the region :)
Nice video
Paul you're the real Queen of the skies.
haha
Great review
cheers
No problem
Crap duck! Me early! Hello from NZWN airport (my fav spotting place but I’m sadly not there right now) 😜
haha
Great video! Interesting to compare Qantas trans tasman Business on different aircraft. And a bonus to see the 747 in Sydney! (QFamenitykit)
Cheers Thomas
Yesterday I took my first flight from Brisbane to Cairns
Virgin VA775
8:50-11:30
I'm enjoying my stay in Cairns it's so beautiful and green with tons of trees in mountains in the area we are staying
Thanks Paul - not a frequent traveller across the ditch, and your report shows why the narrowbodies wouldn’t be my first choice for the trip. I love those sunset shots! Sometimes poor electronic ife isn’t a problem :)
Cheers mate
Feel free to check out my channel. I'd appreciate it if you could subscribe as well :)
Great video Paul! Always appreciate the details in your videos (QFamenitykit)
cheers mate
Nice flight...😀
cheers Johan
Hey Paul, always fly Qantas and had flown Qantas to Wellington in the past. My recent flight to Auckland was booked by a third party on Air New Zealand and I upgraded to premium economy. Amazing service, comfort and the food was outstanding. Cost of the upgrade was minimal ($200 AUD). i would travel with Air new Zealand in a heartbeat again. I've always had One World membership and joined Star Alliance just for this flight. Well worth it.
Price was on par with Qantas but larger plane Airbus 330 and overall, much more room.
Yeah Air NZ are pretty good :)

Great vid Paul, totally agree, sad to see the end of the 747s. (QFamenitykit)
Cheers Austin
I am going on a qantas 737 from Sydney to Melbourne tomorrow and then flying back to Sydney on Monday morning on a 747 domestic route! I managed to get one when you made your last qantas 747 video it reminded me to, I’m gonna video the plane and I’ll send one to you😁
Enjoy my friend! I'm on board tomorrow too.
The same flight as me? Or if not where you going?
@@yssyaviation781 yep the 1400 syd-mel 747 flight tomorrow :)
Yay are you flying in business, I can stop by and say hello
nah back in economy. I need some 4K footage from behind the wing :)
Nice
Cool mate
cheers Luke
Great sunset QFamenitykit
A couple of those coffees and I’ll be set for the whole day!🤪
absolutely!
That Hot and Sour soup with noodles on the menu makes me drool! Sorry Paul going through the back catalogue so to speak....
haha enjoy David. Reminds us of better times
@@PaulStewartAviation Better times indeed!
Thank you, Paul, for sharing another great flightreport with us.
(QFamenitykit)
cheers Fred
Great video Paul. Yeah that seat looks vastly inferior to the 787 you posted up last week. Nice views, though!
cheers mate
I'm flying delta from ewr to dtw today. First time on a a220.
that's so sweet. chocolate for the crew
it's the least I could do for many wonderful flights with Qantas
Enjoyed the video Paul . The Sunset was very nice , but what happens to the Sun . Does it drop off the edge , because as we all know the Earth is flat innit 😀. I do like Maggie Beer ice cream , but I do think it’s a bit stingy as a Business Class desert . Cheers mate and keep em coming .
Cheers David
Hi Paul, not sure if you are aware but a little fun fact about that particular 747 is that it was the one which was used to fly in and out of Wuhan picking up our fellow compadres who couldn’t get out! I work for Qantas in Melbourne so I might see you on arrival tomorrow!
Yep I hope they washed OEE well. :o May see you tomorrow :)
Linda demais esse modelo 737800 QANTAS 🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏25/7/20 várzea grande MT Brasil
Great as usual
A couple of things ... the plate looked very small on your tray table, or was there too much food on it ?
The second is that you do not pronounce the "C" in Sauvignon blanc; your cornichon was not too bad !
Love your version of "coffee"
(QFanenitykit)
Great video on an ordinary product. I assume they don't charge any less for the 737 than they do for the 787 or A330?
Cheers Dennis. Nah same price so it's really worth searching for the A330/787s on this route.
Love the video, Paul! You’re right about Sydney Airport, the check in needs a refurb! (QFamenityKit)
Cheers Keiran, yeah it's showing its age.
Great flight and top quality video
(QFamenitykit)
(QFamenitykit) I prefer wide body service over narrow body as well
QF amenity kit...you should take a flight from BZN sometime
Another great video Paul thanks for sharing. Need to catch up for a coffee next time your over buddy. #QFamenitykit
Chur Timathy! I'll sing out next time I'm over as I hope to catch an NZ ATR one day. Which route do you think would provide the best views?
@@PaulStewartAviation perfect mate sounds great, and although the ATR is a beautiful craft, I'm on the Q300 Dash8 beauty. I would recommend either a Gisborne return, just stunning and coming back over Tauranga, White Island or New Plymouth, just breathtaking views buddy.
@@timathyrawiri5691 ah yes either of the turboprops. Actually the Dash 8 looks better :)
@@PaulStewartAviation I would have to agree my friend cant wait
I was relieved to see there were no awkward hand brushes with your neighbour this time!
haha
N747ER was a Qantas Aircraft built for Qantas as it was a 747-438ER and Boeing were very strict on customer numbers, refusing to change them even if an airframe was on sold from the production line (MH first two 747-200Bs were 747-236B as they were in the process of being built for BA when purchased by MH.
However, it’s likely Boeing said to Qantas that the first aircraft would be flown as a demonstrator and for publicity amd marketing and they would receive an appropriate discount, if it were otherwise it would likely have been built as a 747-420ER.
Well, there goes my career as a Qantas flight attendant. I can't remember people's names, not even my clients'.
haha
Fantastic you could get BBC down their Paul ! Hopefully they put subtitles on for the Aussies so they can run their finger along next to the long words and try and speak them out loud ... hee hee. When are we down there again to win the ashes?
Joking aside, great review, I think anyone would prefer getting a bigger plane in summary. Interesting the demand is so that that they need different sizes depending on the flight, what days are most popular?
haha yeah now that EK have dropped there trans-Tasman A380s there would be a lot more pax wanting tickets on other airlines. I believe that's one reason why QF have started putting the A330s and season 787s on the route.
Ahhh good old Jetconnect. So many bad memories!!
oh no, what happened?
Paul Stewart I used to commute to Wellington/Auckland for a 2 year period and just often had delays. Glad to be done with that!!
I've heard of Australia, isn't it a small island off the coast of New Zealand? ;-) Having said that this Kiwi loves Qantas!!
haha well played.
Another great video paul! I'm on the 747 flight from SYD - MEL (QF439 ), are you taking it?
Tomorrow? yep :)
@@PaulStewartAviation Yes, hopefully I see you!
Hey Paul👋 I used to be so scared of flying that I would almost have panic attacks until we landed. I came across your channel and saw how much you flew and decided maybe flying isn't that bad after all. I've realised I shouldn't be worrying about crashing (or anything for that matter) until it actually happens.
Thank you for helping me realise my true dream of becoming a pilot.
(QFamenitykit)
Cheers mate, glad you enjoy my videos :)
@@PaulStewartAviation no worries😁
Looks like the same 737 (or at least identically configured) to the one I flew ADL-BNE just after xmas.
Yep this aircraft also flies domestic routes
Would have to say QF catering has declined over the last few years IMO
Yeah you're prob correct
@@PaulStewartAviation what are your thoughts on QFs International catering consider you fly so much
Danny Kelly I know I’m not him but there food is usely fine on long flights but the breakfast is always terrible
It never was much. 30 years ago they were absolute crap
By the way have you been to Albury airport
Awesome video (QFamenitykit)
I would say comparing this to BA or any European carrier this business class product on QF’s 737 is amazing. In Europe as I’m sure you’re aware we only get a blocked middle seat and relatively poor catering not to the standard you had. Overall, this is a very impressive product considering it’s only a few hours flight plus does domestic Australian flights too, European carriers need to learn! (QFamenitykit)
Cheers Sam, you're right that this is vastly superior to Club Europe (or most/all other intra-Europe business seats) BUT this is considerably more expensive.
Feel free to check out my channel. I'd appreciate it if you could subscribe as well :)
Made me happy that I only fly that route in economy section. Does not appear to be much of extra value in paying for the business upgrade.
To be honest I'd never use points or pay for business in a 737 on a 3hr flight. Economy is perfectly adequate for such a short flight.
What was the aircraft name?
Last time I was this early a jet was invented....
Thumbs up, great report.
(QFamenitykit)
Cheers Jason
Question for you Paul, would you rather fly Air New Zealand's "world's best premium economy" on the dreamliner to Auckland or would you prefer Qantas Business class on the 737?
ohh yes good question. I imagine that the service would still be better on QF but otherwise the seats are prob fairly much the same.
@@PaulStewartAviation very true, so would the improved aircraft be enough to sway you if you had no ties to either one world or star alliance?
Sunrises and sunsets in-flight are always an amazing thing. I've photographed a few, and even have one as a computer background. :)
(QFamenitykit)
absolutely
Wow for perspective, I'd be visiting Canada a lot more if we had a proper 787 or A330 business class option there from the States (QFamenitykit)
Hi Paul, what's the best QF 737 Business class seat? I'm flying Melbourne to Wellington in business coming back from the Avalon Airshow, will you be there?
First row has better leg room. Sadly i will be in the uk when the show is on
@@PaulStewartAviation Any preference when only 2 or 3 is available? Enjoy the UK!
nah 2 or 3 are a much of a muchness. 3 has a better view of the engine as 2 is too far forward
I thought Jetconnect were no more?? I need to get back to NZ, I love that country
actually you may be right I've since been told :)
You are correct! Jetconnect are no more! Aircraft are back in mainline with Australian reg.
How far east of Lithgow is Auckland? We need FACTS Paul.
Great vid, as usual though.
haha 3hrs west of Wollongong!
EAST not west!
I’m loving your videos the insight into our beautiful country and our beautiful airline thank you💜💜. (QFamenitykit)
cheers
Poor catering seems to be theme with QF lately. On board and in the lounges are suffering from the same drop in standards.
(QFamenitykits) nice short flight. The 737 business seats are essentially a large lounge chair.
Feel free to check out my channel. I'd appreciate it if you could subscribe as well :)
Flying a 747 Syd-Mel tomorrow! Seat 72j
Enjoy Tim. I'm on board too.
Paul Stewart I’ll say hi if I see you! My son’s a big fan- although not on this flight!
Great flight!
The sunsets are the best! And of course only the discerning watch Family Guy 😊 (QFamenitykit)
haha
Ah the old country again, must get over soon & see my sister, will take your advice on the business class options, QFamenitykit)
