Another interesting video :-) Yep, first class does need a refurbish. The arm rest has seen better days but I'd be happy enough if I could be in first class :-) So part one is the appetizer and part two will be the meat and potatoes with the long haul. I am looking forward to this part of your flight :-)
Hello Doug. Working on part 2 as we speak! Part 2 is essentially the Qantas Singapore Lounge, then supper on the plane, followed by the first class bed experience. Then there's a little surprise towards the end of the review :)
@@eddiekhoo2046 Excellent - even better, I'm looking forward to that. I recently got an upgrade to business domestic with Qantas and enjoyed my first time ever in a Qantas lounge at Adelaide Airport which was nice (has nothing on Sydney lol). It was timely as it was a 6.05am flight so breakfast in the lounge and a comfortable snooze in a business class seat. :-)
Unlike the majority of the RUclips aviation channels out there, this is one of the most pleasant and most straight-forward out there. Love how simple this is, and the subtitles and all that leading onward also! There aren’t a lot of channels out there that just deliver a good trip report like this, and Eddie is one of those guys! Majority of the others have become tiresome or straight out obnoxious!
Thank you for the lengthy feedback. One day I'd like to narrate my reviews, but I really don't like the sound of my own voice. Perhaps I can hire someone to do the talking for me :p I don't have the time to watch many other vloggers on RUclips as there seem to be a million out there...but I hear from fans they are self-absorbed and more about them flying first class, rather than the product itself. Anyways, I just keep doing what I love doing :)
Eddie Khoo waiting for your reviews are absolutely worth it honestly. I just prefer a simple, pleasant experience and you definitely deliver that in your trip reports. I’m sure if you did narrate them, it would be great as well! I just appreciate the humility you bring in going on these flights, excited and enthusiastic but yet still humbled and wanting to bring that journey along to your viewers. It makes waiting for your next videos super worth it, especially considering the time gap between one video and the next coming out! You are spot on about the majority of aviation channels on here. This translates even on economy reports I’ve seen from certain channels, just really bothers me if it’s considered to not be that big of a deal, but in their view it becomes such. I just find it extremely obnoxious if it’s literally not that big of a difference maker.
Eddie, You never deliver a boring video... they are always great! I truly enjoy watching them. If you don't mind me asking, what is your line of work and are these trips for business purpose or pleasure? Thank you and keep the great work coming in. :)
Thank you JP S for your feedback. I like to throw work and pleasure into the same travel to make things productive and enjoyable at the same time. This one, however, was mainly for a conference/workshop. Stay tuned for part 2 - SIN to LHR! :)
Thanks Eddie another adventure you allowed me to travel with you. I certainly appreciate that. Enjoyed every moment. You travel, I travel, many thanks. Scotty.
Great video, you are actually my favourite reviewer. Asking you for your boarding pass twice but not even bothering to show you your seat shows typical Aussie obsession with bureaucracy combined with lax service.
Luvly vid as always. When I see a notification from Eddie I must watch the vid straight away. I love the way you describe the different amenities even telling us who designed what. Amazing stuff!! I love it lots. You are a man of impeccable taste and thank you for sharing these wonderful upmarket trips with us. Love from Malawi
Aww...thanks Viviano! Glad to see I have followers all the way in Malawi too. Perhaps I should do a review of some of the airlines in your continent one day. Take care! :)
You're welcome Larry! The Qantas shop does sell retro roo merchandise, but not sure if that includes the bag I have. I got the passport wallet and T-shirt at the same time :)
We had caviar for a short time left over when I start flying. Then our first class service went with the greatly sliced deli Prosciutto meat with a nice selection of cheese, soft bread and crackers with the meal service on international long haul and US trans con.. You had a good flight...Take care...
Thanks Marcus for watching and leaving a comment. I've yet to try first class (FC) to the US or US trans-con, but it looks like many of the US carriers are cutting back int'l FC altogether. Domestic US FC is similar to what we have to business class here in Aus.
Thanks for the feedback. Part 2 should be online soon - it features the bed, Singapore lounge and the service experience on the longer sector to London :)
Thanks Eddie for another great and very detailed review. The Qantas First hard product may be a decade old now but still remains unique and is very spacious and comfortable. Looking forward to the onward leg to LHR.
You're welcome Pierre. It's always a pleasure to churn these videos for my followers :) It's going to be interesting how QF will revamp this product. I think it's going to be a mere touch up (ie. different colour scheme, better IFE system, new upholstery), rather than anything ground-breaking. Part 2 to be online soon!
Aspiring "RUclipsrs" take note...this is how you do a review! There's no need to drone on endlessly and constantly parade in front of the camera when making your vids Great to have you back Eddie!
Excellent TR! Looked like a very comfortable flight. Food looked quite good. How was cabin service by FAs? Thanks as always for your always superb videos with that almost-there feeling.
Hello Francis! Thanks for your comments. The cabin service was professional but with a bit of a relaxed attitude. I noticed on QF1 the crew seem to be British-based rather than Aussie. Feels different to flying domestic QF or the int'l flights to Asia where the crew are very Aussie.
Very awesome video my friend Eddie.I liked so much the first class lounge to the airport,amazing view outside.The first class suite was very nice.Very comfortable,big space,tv,the food as always so delicious.Amazing video Eddie.I ll watch of course and the new video from Singapore to London.Keep up the great job as always my friend
Simply Fantastic absolutely love the program the organisation of running an airline & business thank you great content love it thank you Peter of Geelong 😀😁
Enjoyed your review so much that I am a new subscriber! Hopefully the refurbishing of the A380 will have private suites in First Class. I will not pay for First Class these days and not have a private suite. There are many airlines already that offer more privacy in their Business Class. Don't wish to sound like a snob but I have sleep apnea and just don't feel comfortable sleeping on a long haul flight unless I am in an enclosed area. If it's not available I tend to stay awake the entire time. I am sure this sounds ridiculous but I'm always afraid I'll start snoring and another passenger will throw water on me! LOL! Thanks for your comprehensive program Eddie, and Happy Travels!
Hi John, hopefully you have a CPAP machine to keep your sleep apnoea under control! Sadly the refurbishment will not involve a private suite like on EK, SQ or EY. QF have hinted it will be a touch up of the current product (ie. new colour scheme, new seat fabric, more modern IFE system, etc). The first class product is a very nice business class plus product (much better than BA's), but needs to be priced accordingly. Take care!
@@eddiekhoo2046 How kind of you to reply! Have you tried Air France's La Premiere Class? It's got curtains that remind me of the old sleeping berths on the PanAm Clippers that flew across the Pacific in the late 1930's. That to me was the golden age of aviation. Wish I had a time machine to visit that era! Take care.
Welcome back Eddie...could not agree more about the Qantas 1st Class lounge in Sydney...brilliant!! Great to see you are still travelling with the Retro Qantas carry on bag !! And the RM Williams are still travelling though not the best when going through security.. I usually wear Rockport shoes when travelling and don't have to remove them at the security point...but always have the RM's in my luggage. Were your nuts warm ? Great review as always Eddie and Qantas have a great 1st class product etc!! Looking forward to Part 2 !!
Yeap, Retroroo bag and the RMs still going strong. I don't mind the RMs going through security as they're easy to take off and put back on. They also make good all purpose wear at my destination so I don't need to pack more than one pair of shoes :) The nuts? Hmmm...I don't think they were warm :p
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment Golf Golf. I understand QF will be refurbishing the A380s from Sept until late 2020. The new First Class will be a touch up, rather than anything revolutionary. I agree SIA's one looks great. Too bad they didn't install a shower though...
I saw that retro Qantas bag. Demm son. Mind share more details about it like is it actual vintage product or modern reproduction? Like some other pointed. The format do stand out and the subtitles can do wonders too without some speaking to the mic👍👍👍 Any chances flying asian based carrier soon like MH/NH/CX/JL etc?
I know some viewers want me to speak, but if you don't want to read the subtitles the video should speak for itself! The retro roo merchandise can be purchased from the Qantas online shop - I bought things like a T-shirt and passport wallet at the time. Not sure if they're still available though... I've got some CX and SQ reviews coming up soon. Stay tuned.
@@eddiekhoo2046 chill man, i have no issues reading subtitles 👍. For me as viewer it make it stand out compared to other video😀 Being said u have good music choice to put into your video instead of some funky music😂 Noted about the vintage goods from Qantas shop. I cant see myself using it if it is actual vintage item😂
Amazing lounge. Cabin crew service doesn't seem to be as polished as SQ, where even in J you get escorted to your seat IIRC. But food looks delicious. How can you keep having these three course meals and supper and not burst?? 😉
Well done Kenny - you'll have a great flight on QF 2. Make sure you get to the airport to enjoy the Qantas London lounge - heard many great things about it! Safe travels.
Wow so cool i can't wait for next video You didin't slept in full flight from sydney to singapore or you have trimed the video i hope you rest in next flight thank you for the video
Thanks for watching Fathima. It was an evening flight so I decided to eat, watch a film and do a bit of work. I was saving the snooze for the longer flight to London. This review will be online soon. Stay tuned! :)
Those 10 year old seats are really showing their age. I'd expect a faster "refresh" schedule for the first class cabi n. To my eye they doesn't look a lot different to the business class suites on Qatar.
The refresh is due to happen in Sept and should be complete by late 2020. QF haven't mentioned what this refresh will entail, but I think the changes will be fairly superficial. The big change will be in business class where they're finally replacing the last century Skybed Mk2s with the latest Business Suites. Finally direct aisle access for all in business class!!! :)
Love your videos Eddie. Have you ever looked at some of the old flying boats in museums? They were real first class. If your ever in Auckland there is a solent in the museum there.
Nope, never seen those old flying boats. I've only ever seen photos of them - I didn't see any in-flight entertainment screens, wifi or lie-flat massage beds ;) Haha
An interesting fact about the "old school departures board" in the foyer of the First Class Lounge: it is actually the original departures board from the old Kingsford-Smith International, pre-1992. It was appropriately nicknamed the "rattle board", and is heritage listed!
I shared this video over to my Facebook account...I am Lemard Mays on the Facebook side of things...Yes, Lemard is my first name..Marcus Lee are middle names....Thanks...
I last flew MH business class back in 2017 and they were OK. Bit pricey I felt and the service/quality of product wasn't well-polished. I feel safer and better cared for on Qantas. My thoughts...
The price does not equal the value perhaps after refurb but not with that config. Current price return to singapore $6105 first and business is $6328. so first is cheaper lol
The discount business is probably all sold out, so you're being quoted the flexi ticket. That's normally a fraction cheaper (or occasionally more expensive) than discount first!
Oh - and please correct me if I'm mistaken Eddie, but does the amenities pack not seem a bit "sparse" when compared to other carriers? The business class amenities packs on Emirates seem to be much better than the QF First Class version?
I don't recall the EK J class bag...I'd need to see my old review of that, but I think the QF kit is OK. It has pretty much everything that I'd need...just not as uber lux as some other carriers...
Eddie Khoo Ah, indeed you may need to take a look back! I have my amenities bag from a recent J class flight on EK, and it is very nice! It seems to have a lot more “stuff” in it, all from Bulgari (please forgive the use of the technical term there!!). QF used to have great amenities kits many years ago with l’Occitane “stuff”, even in J class.
The catering was alright - Neil Perry has been with QF for over a decade, and many find his menus bit stale these days. The FC cabin is undergoing a refresh at the moment, and surprisingly QF have kept the exact some product (albeit with a cosmetic touchup). I guess they think this FC product should be able to keep going strong for the years to come...
Just ok.I personally do not like the P class seats on QF and the food is not nearlly as good as other carriers like SQ or JL first class.Neil Perry's menu is out dated and a new young chef needs to re-excite the taste buds of passengers on QF in all classes. Personally I'd rather be pampered on SQ in First Class the Japanese Kyo seki menu is in my opinion the best in the sky.
Completely agree that I'd preference SQ F class any day. It will be interesting to see if the revamp later in the year will come with a change in chef?
thanks a lot for providing this Video. QF should really upgrade their plates and glasses. That plain White Looks so poor. Love AF`s crockery and Emirates with that golden touch.. Meal looked good though
A pleasure to do so claus. These plates/glasses, believe or not, are relatively new! The plates are also designed with some grey marks on them that look like a stain or smudge...I've seen people using their thumbs trying to wipe them away, but later finding out it's part of the plate's design :s
I appreciate the feedback Steven. Sometimes a first class product has a lot of delve into and it's hard to condense < 20 mins as I tend to cover everything from check-in to leaving the destination airport
@@eddiekhoo2046 I get that Eddie and having flown First Class a few times, the overarching information is useful (exactly why I looked at your video in the first place) but the video could be 'snappier' ie: the points are laboured and the travelling between points eg: up escalators, down escalators, walking aerobridge, multiple welcomes on board etc don't add value to what the point of the review is - the on board service, with a quick overview of the lounge being used. You have a good number of subscribers but the best channels do have their reviews down to 15 maximum 20 mins and have subscribers in the hundreds of thousands. It really depends on what you think the point of your Reviews are: 1. Are they for people wanting to know about a product and don't want the varnished version from the airlines (me and others that use First and Business)? or 2. Are you trying to be a travel channel? If 1, then you need to edit much much more or 2. Well, then you have many hundreds or thousands of competitors doing exactly the same thing plus actual travel channels. Good luck Steven
I can't afford to fly, so I sit in an vibrating armchair drinking beer and watching VHS- movie 'Airplane!'. My girlfriend gets five euros for dressing like an air hostess.✈
At 1.48 the reception lady can hardly be bothered to even look at you. Your friendly “hi, good morning” is what you’d expect every good customer service to be saying but none of them seemed very interested. Poor service, let alone for a first class experience. I cringe each time I hear you greet them so politely, only to be met so often with an attitude of indifference.
Amazing lounge. Cabin crew service doesn't seem to be as polished as SQ, where even in J you get escorted to your seat IIRC. But food looks delicious. How can you keep having these three course meals and supper and not burst?? 😉

Another great trip report. I was a little surprised that you weren't escorted to your First Class suite.
From past experience, QF don't normally provide an escort to your seat in 1st class.
Great video, you are actually my favourite reviewer. Asking you for your boarding pass twice but not even bothering to show you your seat shows typical Aussie obsession with bureaucracy combined with lax service.
Thank you Karl for your feedback!
Only if the effort going into the bureaucracy could filter into the service... ;)
Absolutely love Qantas a380 first class it is my favourite great review on it

Wow. I wish I could get back massage as well here haha. Nice video.
A machine massage in a seat is never a replacement for a real one. Only if they could have a masseuse on a plane! :p
best first class lounge of the world lol!!!!
The ground experience was very good, but I wish the crew had been more caring and at least escorted you to your seat.
Those 10 year old seats are really showing their age. I'd expect a faster "refresh" schedule for the first class cabi n. To my eye they doesn't look a lot different to the business class suites on Qatar.
The refresh is due to happen in Sept and should be complete by late 2020. QF haven't mentioned what this refresh will entail, but I think the changes will be fairly superficial.
The big change will be in business class where they're finally replacing the last century Skybed Mk2s with the latest Business Suites. Finally direct aisle access for all in business class!!! :)
I've requested first class for our flight on Monday...
You mean as a points upgrade? If so, good luck! :D
@@eddiekhoo2046 no harm in asking... flying business class anyhow
Love your videos Eddie. Have you ever looked at some of the old flying boats in museums? They were real first class. If your ever in Auckland there is a solent in the museum there.
Nope, never seen those old flying boats. I've only ever seen photos of them - I didn't see any in-flight entertainment screens, wifi or lie-flat massage beds ;) Haha
An interesting fact about the "old school departures board" in the foyer of the First Class Lounge: it is actually the original departures board from the old Kingsford-Smith International, pre-1992. It was appropriately nicknamed the "rattle board", and is heritage listed!
And apparently there's only 1 guy in the whole country that is still qualified to service that board (that's what the lounge lady told me...)
Bruh, you got an Alienware 13 for work laptop. That's dope bruda.
Great and detailed video as always.
Lol. Work...games...work....games.... ;)
The lack of time given to read the menus makes it impossible to comprehend the content of the information contained therein.
Apologies for rushing you through the menu. I suggest pausing the video when you want to read it at your own pace.
Pause it. The video would be 45 minutes long, otherwise.
I shared this video over to my Facebook account...I am Lemard Mays on the Facebook side of things...Yes, Lemard is my first name..Marcus Lee are middle names....Thanks...
Thanks for the share!
9:25 Nice R.M. Williams boots 💁🏼♀️
They are so comfortable and durable. Had them since 2013! :)
Eddie Khoo You’ll have them forever. 👍🏼
Next Stop ……………….. Hollywood I think as a movie director :)
Lol!!! I'm happy with my little amateur studio for now Matthew. But thanks for the praise!
@@eddiekhoo2046 I was a video & film producer for 10 years so I enjoy viewable video reports & yours are informative & NEVER boring
Eddie based on your experience in all terms, MH or Qantas is better ??
I last flew MH business class back in 2017 and they were OK. Bit pricey I felt and the service/quality of product wasn't well-polished.
I feel safer and better cared for on Qantas. My thoughts...
no more first class on MH a shame
The price does not equal the value perhaps after refurb but not with that config. Current price return to singapore $6105 first and business is $6328. so first is cheaper lol
The discount business is probably all sold out, so you're being quoted the flexi ticket. That's normally a fraction cheaper (or occasionally more expensive) than discount first!
did the staff check and tag the hand carry bags before boarding?
Oh - and please correct me if I'm mistaken Eddie, but does the amenities pack not seem a bit "sparse" when compared to other carriers? The business class amenities packs on Emirates seem to be much better than the QF First Class version?
I don't recall the EK J class bag...I'd need to see my old review of that, but I think the QF kit is OK. It has pretty much everything that I'd need...just not as uber lux as some other carriers...
Eddie Khoo Ah, indeed you may need to take a look back! I have my amenities bag from a recent J class flight on EK, and it is very nice! It seems to have a lot more “stuff” in it, all from Bulgari (please forgive the use of the technical term there!!). QF used to have great amenities kits many years ago with l’Occitane “stuff”, even in J class.
Ok i see saving time and energy
Yup!
I had to laugh, Eddie, when I read the name of that meal "Humpty Doo"! What the heck was that?
I think Humpty Doo refers to a suburb in the Darwin area of the Northern Territories. Aussie places sound funny....like Woolloomooloo in Sydney :p
I just luv aviation and I subscribe to many aviation channels but urs feel like am travelling 🧳 honestly it’s so simple always forward Eddie khoo,,🇩🇪
Happy for you to be on board Villa :)
Anything less than first class must be like slumming it now. I had to notice that the tableclothes could have done with ironing.
Nice video. Would have been excellent if you'd supplied value judgments on yr food.
The catering was alright if you want to know. It wasn't outstanding like the food on Singapore Airlines, but it wasn't crap either.
nice video, but more business class is n't it? worn interior; skip first Q or make it MUCH better
I was telling a few friends that it's like a business "plus" product, but at first class prices.
nice, find the cabin a bit BC alike...(but great catering I think)
The catering was alright - Neil Perry has been with QF for over a decade, and many find his menus bit stale these days. The FC cabin is undergoing a refresh at the moment, and surprisingly QF have kept the exact some product (albeit with a cosmetic touchup). I guess they think this FC product should be able to keep going strong for the years to come...
This first class seems so old ... Even though it has nothing to do with coach, it doesn't seem that cosy to me
You haven’t seen the 747’s first class, that’s Qantas’s vintage product. Even though this design does have around 10 years of history?
Just ok.I personally do not like the P class seats on QF and the food is not nearlly as good as other carriers like SQ or JL first class.Neil Perry's menu is out dated and a new young chef needs to re-excite the taste buds of passengers on QF in all classes.
Personally I'd rather be pampered on SQ in First Class the Japanese Kyo seki menu is in my opinion the best in the sky.
Completely agree that I'd preference SQ F class any day. It will be interesting to see if the revamp later in the year will come with a change in chef?
Good vid. Pity Qantas 1st class has no privacy and is little better than a good business class seat. What a shame.
thanks a lot for providing this Video.
QF should really upgrade their plates and glasses. That plain White Looks so poor. Love AF`s crockery and Emirates with that golden touch..
Meal looked good though
A pleasure to do so claus. These plates/glasses, believe or not, are relatively new! The plates are also designed with some grey marks on them that look like a stain or smudge...I've seen people using their thumbs trying to wipe them away, but later finding out it's part of the plate's design :s
Thanks for showing us all the information but 30mins is way too long for a review. maximum 15mins.
I appreciate the feedback Steven. Sometimes a first class product has a lot of delve into and it's hard to condense < 20 mins as I tend to cover everything from check-in to leaving the destination airport
@@eddiekhoo2046 I get that Eddie and having flown First Class a few times, the overarching information is useful (exactly why I looked at your video in the first place) but the video could be 'snappier' ie: the points are laboured and the travelling between points eg: up escalators, down escalators, walking aerobridge, multiple welcomes on board etc don't add value to what the point of the review is - the on board service, with a quick overview of the lounge being used. You have a good number of subscribers but the best channels do have their reviews down to 15 maximum 20 mins and have subscribers in the hundreds of thousands.
It really depends on what you think the point of your Reviews are:
1. Are they for people wanting to know about a product and don't want the varnished version from the airlines (me and others that use First and Business)? or
2. Are you trying to be a travel channel?
If 1, then you need to edit much much more or 2. Well, then you have many hundreds or thousands of competitors doing exactly the same thing plus actual travel channels.
Good luck
Steven
WTF THERE PLAYING SANTA 🎅 CLAUSE IN JULY SMH 🤦♂️ GREAT 👍 VIDEO THOUGH
a still decent first class product? it's gorgeous ya spoiled boy :)
Voila QF
Thanks for watching Saral. Stay tuned for part 2 :)
@@eddiekhoo2046 Part 2,Where are you going Uncle?
London
@@eddiekhoo2046 Ok,Any Plans for India,Uncle?
My mom work at Qantas as a fight atendent
That's awesome. Does she do domestic or international flights? :)
vintage first class ,far from SQ or Emirates product. As usual, your review is outstanding Eddie
Thanks Pierre. It's like a business plus product if anything. It's nice, but it's no SQ or EK experience.
When is qantas going to try to match sq or ek 🙇🏼♂️
I can't afford to fly, so I sit in an vibrating armchair drinking beer and watching VHS- movie 'Airplane!'. My girlfriend gets five euros for dressing like an air hostess.✈
Sounds like you're having a ball :D
At 1.48 the reception lady can hardly be bothered to even look at you. Your friendly “hi, good morning” is what you’d expect every good customer service to be saying but none of them seemed very interested. Poor service, let alone for a first class experience. I cringe each time I hear you greet them so politely, only to be met so often with an attitude of indifference.
,
The food is AWFUL
Time for Neil Perry to move on?
That is First Class ????? OMG 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎😭😭😭😭😭
Yeap, this is what Qantas offers as first class these days ;)
Great review Eddie. Thanks
Thanks again Steve.
Back to the editing for part 2... :)
Amazing lounge. Cabin crew service doesn't seem to be as polished as SQ, where even in J you get escorted to your seat IIRC. But food looks delicious. How can you keep having these three course meals and supper and not burst?? 😉
Do you get escorted in SQ J class? That hasn't happened to me yet...hmmm :s
To be honest Paul, the pants are slowly slowly getting tighter...haha :p
