Budget Business Class? AirAsia X Premium Flatbed | Airbus A330 (KUL - SYD)
Join me as I fly from Kuala Lumpur, back home to Sydney on an AirAsia X A330, in "Business Class."
Can a low cost carrier really offer a Business Class product? Well AirAsia X is disrupting the market at the pointy end of the plane, offering Premium Flatbed seats at a fraction of the cost. How does it stack up? Let's go gate to gate together, passing through check in, (I forgot the lounge), terminal and of course the on board experience on this trip across to Sydney.

    Fantastic video, and thank you for sharing. Overall, this product looks highly outdated. Outside of the spaciousness of your seat, the food looked arguably inedible and incomparable to even American Airlines international business class, which is also nothing to write home about, save for what looked like decent food offerings in the lounge. I'd rather fly Emirates through Dubai and onto Sydney. Even if Emirates disappoints, I'd rather be able to shower it off mid-flight. Thank you again for this informative post! I'll book my travel next month to Sydney not on Qantas.

    • @LeisureFlyer
      @LeisureFlyer 13 днів тому

      Thank you for watching! Indeed, the seat is quite old and has only had a refresh with new materials. But I'd have to disagree with the food aspect. I flew AA out from LAX to SYD and the food was absolutely horrendous compared to QF out of SYD. But in general, catering out of LAX has never been amazing I've found. That being said, I don't think the QF First food is any better than the Business offering (as my mate got the same meal on a flight to DFW). EK is definitely a level above, but it's quite a scenic route to get from USA to Aus via the middle east 😂 Then again, in First.. who cares right? Let me know how you go :)

    A very informative review... the lights you see in the ocean are ships... those waters are pretty busy channels for ships as this region is the only thoroughfare from the West to East. If the flight was during the day you can clearly see the elongated shape of the ships from the window. Once the aircraft passes over Bali to continue further south you will see very few of these lights.

    For Sydney Thai Airways normally fly the 777-300er and then change to an A350-900 from the 1st of April this year. But the A350 was the best because they are newer aircraft. There was some article in 2018 that Thai Airways wants to retrofit it’s Boeing 777-200er and also have premium economy on that aircraft. But that didn’t happen and I don’t know when will it actually happen or not. But I would like to see they retrofit it more because they still got a few years left before retirement. Also if it’s already been done this would been better. I also agree with you the 787 seats are better and newer.

      @LeisureFlyer it might seem a long time away but when you are a single parent of an autistic child you have to plan in advance

    For first class meals, I must say they looks displeasing and pathetic. The bathroom looks ordinary, nothing luxurious about it. For $10K+ one way is not worth the money. I don't see how Qantas can compete with the like of Etihad, Emirates, Qatar, Singapore, etc...

      I agree it's not the same level, but realistically they don't need to compete with the ME3 as the route network is different. With AA discontinuing Flagship First, there is no other option for First to USA. Even within Asia it's only SIN and sometimes HKG that get the QF A380, and to Europe it's only LHR I believe. That being said... I am keen to see how the new A350 First Class goes once it launches.

    Really enjoyed taking this flight with you! I'd be happy to take this trip anytime second only to Emirates first class on their 380.

      Not on the A330, but the A350 does offer wifi.

    Anyone got any feedback on whether this has improved in more recent times? Say, the last 6 months?

    Loved “The Business” on these 777’s. We flew to LA from Brisbane back in 2016 and had an amazing experience. Still one of my favourite flight experiences to date. I miss it 😢

      Hopefully VA can find their way back! This was (and still would be) a seriously competitive product.

    A disappointing business class product of Qantas...

    100% agree with your assessment. I recently flew Business Class from Melbourne to LAX and there were no welcome snacks, dinner was barely entree size and I wasn't offered anything else for the entire flight. I had to make my own bed with no offer of help and had to wait 5-6 minutes for an attendant to come when I pushed the button. I asked for a bottle of water and she said all she could offer was to refill my original bottle. It's only a small thing but there was also no mood lighting. I flew Business with Virgin a few years back and they were far superior to Qantas. They really went out of their way to make you feel special. Qantas are now inferior to pretty much every other airline which is a shame for our national carrier.....

      Old VA was awesome, I have a video on that as well (looking back at it) from BNE-LAX if you want to reminisce together haha. The funny thing is, I've done Qantas First a few times and it really is a step above Business. Just not sure it's justifiable cost-wise. Thank you for watching :)
