Reply to this G'day mate,
Well I am not too sure on the airlines as I go for the cheapest flights I can find which puts me in economy section above.. It is going to vary greatly for each airline also which seating you choose. I have flown economy with several airlines and each time it is different and I am pretty sure it would be the same for premium economy, business class and first class. For example Etihad airways economy would be more like premium economy on Air Asia,
But the more you pay the more comfort your going to get.. I was lucky enough to fly first class twice, once with Thai and the second Etihad (travellers tip: I always ask for a free upgrade and it worked twice! if not ask for seats with extra leg room for the long flights as I am fairly tall and smile and say please. No harm in asking 😊) and it was perfect.. I sort of felt out of place sitting up the front getting champagne before takeoff but I did get a great sleep.
Premium economy would be great for me but I am not too fussy with seating etc but as I said you may need to check with each airline to see the differences with premium economy, business class and first class.
I am a little worried about Qantas also.. even today the Herald Sun Headline 'Crash fear in Qantas drama'..
Reply to this If you can afford 1st class do it!!
Most airlines have great service in 1st class so I'm not sure that is a concern. You should fill out there frequent flyer card and accrue air miles.
Reply to this well wont be going 1st class!
Sydney to Newyork(which i found out is 24 hours long!! as it stops at LAX first..) was the origional plan.. but now sydney to LAX(13hr flight) $1300 by NZ airlines or V AUSTRALIA economy. 1st class? $9,000!!!!!!!!!!!! talk about expensive! lol
Im just worried because i am terrified of planes, but dont want that stopping me from travelling. ive only been domestic once, and it was about 2 hours?.. that was ok.. but getting hard enough!! with a 13 hour flight.. im hoping it goes well 😞
my partner said to me, you know V australia (which i beleive is virgin correct me if im wrong) are old qantas planes.. but you never heard of crashes back then! in faxt qantas used to be the only plane that hadnt crashed.. now.. so much is going wrong!!
my partner has a frequent flyer card!! :D :D :D i just realised! woo hoo!
Reply to this if the money things do matter for you..you could choose...China Airlines economy class.. A few years ago i've been travel to US by that airlines. Quite cheap and worth it...
