  • @TheVaughan5

    Thanks for the upload. Looks like a very good product. Whether it’s worth the extra cost depends on your finances, if it’s not a problem then go for it. I always fly business class on my long haul routes and a few years back decided to upgrade to first just to have the experience. Though I enjoyed it very much I decided business was everything I needed and I’d rather spend the difference on something else.

    • @DoorsToAuto
      @DoorsToAuto  Рік тому +5

      Thanks.
      I was in the bizarre situation that, as business class was already fairly sold out, the only business seats were in the ‘J’ fully flexible fare bucket. So a first class seat in the ‘A’ semi-flexible fare bucket was cheaper.

    • @Onthemainline
      @Onthemainline Рік тому +1

      Same here, my family and I always fly business class but one time we decided “why not try the first class for once” so we upgraded and as you said, business class has everything you need and sometimes even more. It only really makes sense to go first class if you can easily enough afford it, so now we go business again which is plenty good enough and then save the “extra for first” for other things..

    I am a totally rusted on Qantas traveller with P status, yet this product compares poorly with the middle eastern airlines at J level. Hoping to book for the first Project Sunrise flight direct from Melbourne to LHR or Paris or Frankfurt, as a matter of principle, but may not be impressed too much as variation with the Melb/ Perth/ LHR service may well be minimal.

      The ground service wasn’t that great! I wasn’t even told there was a lounge at check-in…
      On the next leg from Singapore to Sydney I was told they didn’t make announcements in the lounge, and so was told when I need to be at the gate. Unfortunately there was then a delay boarding the flight, and I sat at the gate for an hour with everyone else. After which they then board First, Business and Premium Economy all at once - 130 other passengers, on top of the 14 first class people, all fighting to get on to the plane…

      The upper deck has Business Class stretching from the front right through to behind the wing. The front cabin on either deck would be the quietest part of the aircraft, being in front of the wing (and engines). Directly above First (aim front of Business) was a lounge area for passengers from both cabins.

    First class Qantas looks like rubbish when compared to Air France who on the same journey put you in a seperate first class lounge, feed you and transport you to your plane in a BMW, then feed you (again) and look after you with personalised service, including taking you to the luggage carousal. Im afraid Qantas are not half the airline it used to be.

    I don't like sharing lounge with business class passengers. Unfortunately, most of them are not well mannered and sometimes behave like they are kings and queens but without the crown. Some don't pay their ticket, some others are crew members and some others will never fly business again and you can see them literally jump on every single items they can possibly grasp for free like their life depends on it. As a frequent first class traveler, I do need discretion, tranquility, space, silence in the lounge. The air France one at the Roissy Charles de Gaule airport , called la première, is one of the best first class lounge I have ever encounteredand you have a car drive you to the plane where the captain himself comes and say hi. I am sorry but after spending a 14000 euros ticket, there is no way you shall wait on a queue line anytime. It may sound awful but it is comprehensible. The air france business class lounge is crap but that is only my point of view. Anyway, thank you for sharing your nice little videos I have always enjoyed watching.
