In Premium Economy there is a trick with the pillow. The pillowcase is designed with a long slit across the pillow. This means you can put the pillow ONTO the headrest, so the pillow won’t drop out of place. It will even stay jn place when you curve the headrest in. Also, if you have a aisle seat, the external wall can drop down which makes it easier to enter & exit the seat, you can turn to out your feet into the aisle before standing. Saves you grabbing the seat in front of you as you stand.
Call bell in 11 seconds in Economy: they definitely knew your RUclips channel.
Ye of little faith…
You’re lucky if they come at all, and if they do be careful of the snarl on the face of the flight attendant
So, the crew was ready for your call bell challenge, but don't expect that lightning speed on a packed flight. Let's be honest, it was unrealistic to think otherwise.
Do you have to be the bearer of bad news? Compared to other flight reviews this is first class.
Iv had that lighting speed on a Qantas flight before on the 380 (full flight) don’t know what ur on about buddy, every flight is different
If you get special treaatment it will never be a fair or good review
i’ve flown all 4 classes on QF A380 and the call bell challenge was accurate in my experience
There’s always that one troll 🧌 and it had to be you.
I watch a lot a flight review shows, but this…this is amazing. He squeezed every detail for four flights into twenty minutes. Nice job.
The fact that he squeezed it into 20mins IS THE PROBLEM. It should have been an hour long review.
Paul Lucas and Josh Cahill are much better
Paul Lucas bores me to tears and besides if there's better aviation youtubers why are you so bothered it's so short? Concise and to the point- he smashed it.
So you like paid fake reviews? The whole thing is a set up, he has early access to the flight, no one sits next to him in economy, the staff attend to him in less than 13 seconds (when has that ever happened), he doesn’t say one bad word about them. Reeks to me of QF (under the new CEO Vanessa) trying to now spin some good PR after Joyce left
@@majorrush81 you're not wrong, does have a bit of Sam Chui vibe to it. It entertained me after an exhausting day at work, I'm not gonna get too het up about the integrity of an AV youtuber
What about price compared for each seat?
The premium economy food looks legit. Better presentation than some business class reviews I've seen throughout the RUclips world.
Qantas are in the dog house in Australia at present on service, reliability and cancellations. After a year of delays cancellations lost luggage etc we are done with them! This was a good representation of what they once were. Glad you enjoyed it but sadly this is not the norm anymore.
Unfortunately, they never will be as good anymore. It's a shame and embarrassing they just kept plunging down.
Qantas is very much like this internationally still. Don’t generalise your poor experiences as the norm.
My recent experiences have been completely different to what poeple keep saying they are like. So i really question whether its just people repeating ad nauseum the bad crap for some reason. Sure i've had a few cancelled flights between Canberra and Sydney, which is not ideal, but better than other airlines who have cancelled flights and can't fly til a day or two later. Then there was a LATAM flight that got cancelled while taxiing on the runway and i was stranded for over 24 hours. I had no issues with refunds or credits during Covid either. I accept people have had issues though, but don't think its close to being as bad as people make it out to be.
Nope just experienced terrible service from Qantas, they outsourced everything to pay Alan and shareholders and cutting corners has reaped predictable results.
No they’re not! A minority of naysayers just like to be noticed. Ignore them.
I took the A380 from Sydney to Singapore and it was the best economy class seat I've ever sat on. It was spacious and super comfy
Great comparisons. You really should have included the cost of each leg of travel and comment on whether the difference in price is worth the price difference.
As far as I'm concerned, there's never a reason not to list the prices. It always makes the video more interesting
I’m glad he doesn’t show the price because at the moment they can fluctuate madly within hours. I booked two premium economy seats for Melbourne Australia to LAX return a couple of months ago with QANTAS, while I usually fly business I couldn’t justify the costs of the ticket for a 14 year old. Today I was able to upgrade for both of us to business for AUD$1200 each in addition to the original booked seats. Outcome thousands less than it was when originally booked.
If he told you the price of the tickets it may either put you off all together or disappoint you when you can’t get the same price. A little bit of research and work can make a real difference with any airline at the moment.
this type of video is fantastic! i love that you packed all 4 seats in one video. much easier than having to look up all 4 seats seperately!! i'd love to see a video like this on different airlines. especially when you're alone. i can watch economy, then it's premium, etc. rathern than everything together!
Thanks for doing this video, it's so needed since I will be flying Qantas soon!
The moment I have been waiting for as a Aussie it’s good to see our airline featured on the points guy. Hope you enjoyed your time in Sydney ❤
Qantas is 💩
We really should be so proud as Aussies of our airline
As an Aussie who fly's many international first and business class flights, QantAss is nothing to be proud of.
QantAss is consistently the worst from booking flights until the end of the flight.
@@J.J.J.J.J.J.JTotally disagree - as someone who’s travelled Qantas for 6 decades, they’re my fave airline. ✈️
@@AnneMB955 Flights are usually not bad, however trying to sleep in their Business class is like being rolled in a sleeping bag with no room to move. Many airlines with more space for business and first.
However, that's not the main issue. The customer service is abominable. Just look at all the horrendous reviews of people waiting on the phone for sometimes up to 6 or 7 hours. And you can't send them an inquiry because they don't respond for weeks and sometimes months, and by that time it's too late. If you are not able to make changes online/app, then you are screwed. I fly a lot and have been experiencing this for the past few years. I did like QantAss about 5 years ago, but naw, compared to other airlines they are pitiful.
Good for you to have loyalty and good experiences. But when flying dozens of times per year, just having to deal with their customer service even once or twice repels you.
Having flown all classes on qantas - business is ❤❤❤
I flew premium economy via Singapore to Sydney and back from Perth and was so impressed. Worth every penny I paid. Had a really lovely seat neighbour on way to Singapore, we spent a large part of the flight laughing and watching movies. Slept so well on all the international flights. If available, I’d always fly Qantas!
Excellent report. Great food. Glad you enjoyed the onboard experience. ❤ One of the best first class products currently available. Thank you Nicky.
That was good fun!! It was great seeing you take all four classes.
My favorite travel channel! Excellent video and review. Thanks!!
Omg I missed this format so much! Nice to see the gang (aka Nicky) back together again 👏🏽
😛
Nice! though the 1st class looks like SQ business class...these days the competition on the LHR - SYD route is strong - you've got Emirates, Qatar, Singapore Airlines, Etihad? - all of them offering a superior first class and business class product. More space, more privacy - which is the key really. If I was going to Austraila, it would be Singapore Business Class all the way - an amazing hard and soft product.
Love flying qantas back home from uk to perth nonstop cant beat it
Really love this short comparison, please do more like this!
These are my favorite videos. Can you do ANA or JAL next?
Stay tuned...
I love Nicky's reviews and commentary. Very detailed commentary, and his passion for aviation shines through time and time again! I think more people will take to the skies if Nicky did more reviews!!
Great review mr, cheered me up !
Love the 4 class comparison, and a great product. I have flown Qantas to Bangkok ages ago (and trw in 1997) and already then rated them very high. It would be more interesting with 2 or 4 colleagues on the same flight, but , this is a ghgo review. The food in PE was as you said business class level.
Qantas is one of my favourite to fly with along with Qatar. So happy you finally did a Qantas review! I love the A380!
The Australian Government blocked Qatar Airways attempt to launch Domestic Routes in Australia to Protect Qantas' monopoly despite the fact Qantas is a private company.
Brilliant watch as always 🙌
The QF first class lounge is amazing. I use it when flying with any one world partner
I'm flying Qantas to Australia next week premium economy there and business back and this video has got me very excited for my flight. Thanks for the review :)
How was it?
I would love to fly Qantas, hopefully next year !
Thank you sir, last time I travelled on Quaint toss as many called it back then was in 1998. Looks like they have improved a lot.
I really loved this video. Great to see all the classes. Just subscribed to your channel. You are absolutely fabulous
That looks great! Thanks a billion for sharing! I will take a flight next month to SYD🇦🇺 :)
That was amazing! I live vicariously through y'all! 👍🏻🫶🏻
They've completely upgraded their products in J, PY and Y! Looks really good. The PY is literally a PREMIUM economy product...almost equivalent to EK's... unlike SQ's PY which is a Y ++ at best.
Your video presentation style is spot on + the video editing makes watching a joy. Well done.
I flew Qantas premium economy Sydney to LAX and Qantas business class LAX to Sydney last year. Service and experience was top notch, and in business we were given comfy Qantas pyjamas as the LA to Syd flight was overnight. You get to keep these
Well done on showing the full product on the ground as well as in the air. So many RUclips reviewers will ‘review’ an economy seat and spend most of the video in their first class lounge pre flight 😁 thanks!
Fabulous vid. My Dad worked with Qantas then Civil Aviation for many years. My go to airline. Hopefully will get an upgrade to First Class between Singapore and London on the way to Warsaw, Poland. Still haven’t travelled Premium Economy. Too spoilt with Business and First. Thx guys. 👏
Very informative flight review, well produced and presented.
This is so cool! So glad you featured our wonderful airline. The flying kangaroo! 🇭🇲👏😘
As an FA for Qantas, this was great to see, thank you for your video, you’re welcome anytime ✈️
This video was very entertaining. Quality content, never considered flying Qantas till now !
My father tells the story of being on Qantas in the 1980s. It was a massive 747, and he was the only one in the steward's section. Every 45 minutes, the steward kept offering my father a beer. He became rather insistent.
"Sir, are you SURE that I can't offer you a beer?"
Not wanting to put up with it every 45 minutes all the way across the Pacific, he caved. The steward gave my father a beer, then sat down next to him to have a beer, himself.
Apparently, it was Qantas policy that you're not allowed to drink on the job, but you're also not allowed to let a customer drink alone. The steward REALLY wanted a beer.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing.
As an Aussie flying Qantas all the time and passing through Sydney airport, watching him explore a DIFFERENT airline that is just standard to me at this point is very cool.
I’ve been waiting for this for ages! Let’s gooo
Ohh.. finally got to see the real point guys ...😊
Let's go🎉
I saw u in the plane 😂😂😂 because my dad was the pilot 😂 and because u flew it once takeoff I get to sit on the cockpit floor and watch from the cockpit if your plane has a bitter day thanks to me❤
Thanks for flying quantas fly again
I can’t stop watching it
Glad you are flying the flag carrier of Australia
I've never had to wait any longer!
You missed the best part of Sydney Flounge - Nestor at the entrance! Being based in QLD, hadn’t flown ex Syd Int for 3 years wth Covid shutdowns, and he still remembered me my first flight back could months ago.
SO EPIC! Cannot wait to see the review!
After watching my only thoughts! WOW 🤩 JUST WOW 🤩 Talk about an INCREDIBLE and INDULGENT EXPERIENCE that’s for sure! Cannot wait to try QANTAS and their A380 hopefully someday from LAX-SYD maybe in Premium Economy as that’s all I could ever afford! 😂😂
When you were talking to your homies from Yorkshire your accent changed mate! I lived in Australia for 11 years and flew QF often domestically and quite a few times internationally, including Business class to Vancouver and back and LAX economy. The domestic flights were always great service. On the North American flights the cabin crew were often in their 50s and you could tell they were over it.
I recently did Qantas to/from Australia from LHR on the Boeing 787 & Airbus A380 in economy both ways and I was very impressed with the product on these flights that were both 16hr & 14hr long!
Really? I flew 787 from PER to MEL and the seats were very small, especially for long haul. Delayed my flight 3 times and by 6 hours. Had a broken chair that didn’t lock into a position. Crew unhelpful.
@@MrNigelFarage I had two good long-haul flights. Did 9x Qantas flights on my trip overall and only had two flights with any lengthy delays which didn't have any major impact on my trip.
@@MrNigelFarageJust you. 99% of us have no problems.
I'm flying Qantas to Australia April 2024 and wanted to see what the seats looked like, I learned a lot, thanks!
same! going LHR-SIN then SIN-SYD :))) but aus is my home country
For the first time in ages, I've actually thought maybe QF long haul could be ok. I've never really had a great experience with them in the past. But glad you have great flights.
Excellent video very informative 👍👏
I was expecting to see four people (including Nicky) in this episode, but, I love seeing Nicky anyways. (And don’t tell the other TPG crew this, but Nicky is probably my personal favourite past, present, and future).
I was so excited for this one, and I’m a fan of Qantas even these days with all their recent controversies. But! This video just came across as one gigantic Qantas ad.
My guy even gave big ups to the economy headset (next shot he’s wearing his own)
Guy was allowed on board before anyone else, crew were ready for call bell, it was all just a bit rigged.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Qantas and I like this channel, but this was nonsense.
The world’s best airline and I have watched this video millions of times ps my favourite RUclipsr is you
Awesome flight report and all that was missing was Liam. Thanks for the close ups of the food and the lounge tour. #Qantas seems like the forgotten airline that could! No one really needs to shower on an airline but we all want a decent meal and a comfortable seat. Truly outstanding travel vlog - thanks for all the work taken to film, edit, and post. #ThePointsGuy
The others are jealous of Liam because he alone makes the channel. The others are boring and beige by comparison.
Awesome video, more soon, please 😊
wow very interesting experience friend
I loved it when he squished the bread in economy class and the squeaky sound came out 🤣
I wait so long for Quantas im happy for it i ve only have one flight in bussines at quantas
This is the best channel
as an aussie i have been waiting for you to fly out of sydney with Qantas (the best airline ever)
I love the business class on qantas A380 I took business class to Moscow and it was great but think that business class is better
Tell you what, I bet Liam is cursing the fact he didn't get that gig! I was impressed, particularly with the Yorkshire cabin crew!
they were fab!
That’s the wonderful thing about flying Qantas, the familiarity of home. 🇬🇧 🇦🇺
As an Aussie I am so happy to FINALLY have one of these videos on Qantas. Also I’m happy you had a great experience. Qantas gets absolutely battered for their onboard experience so I’m glad to see some good reviews of it (I find they also have a good onboard product). I can’t wait to be flying with them to London next year on the a380 in premium economy. It looks excellent!
They get battered? That surprises me, flown with them a number of times and I honestly couldn't fault them, some of the best meals I've ever had in economy!
Just returned from the QF1/2 on Premium Economy. His review is on point. I have noticed the quality of the meal has dropped over the years. Its still good, but just dipped. Otherwise, Qantas PE is a nice comfortable way to travel.
Edit: worth noting... for my London-Singapore leg, is was in the bulkhead seat, row 31, and the entire rows screens had no audio. The row rehind row 32, was empty, so after takeoff i popped back a row. The row was empty because those screens were broken. So i read & slept my way to Singapore.
I asked about changing my Singapore to Sydney seat. I was given an apology, and comp'd some FF points, and moved to 32F (same seat Liam had). On that flight all six defective seats were sold to unlucky customers. I was disappointed to see Qantas knowingly selling those tickets.
@@ryanwilliamson9578you haven't experienced much then or need to tru other airlines as well to see your money is not worth it with them.
Fly 10 hours Australia to Japan in a cramped A330 instead of an A380 to see a crud Qantas onboard product.
Anyone who batters Qantas is just a serial naysayer. Been travelling with them since the 60s. Nothing but comfort and professionalism.
Liam is in spirit because of the word ‘Pluffy’. We miss you, King!
I recently flew from London and saw the Quantas A380 next to our BA’s A320, and was literally mesmerised by this beautiful giant. I hope I get to fly in an A380 soon. 😊❤
BA narrow bodies fry from terminal 5A. 5B 5C are for wide bodies. How was the Quantas next to your A320?
Just curious
@@charlesjay8818 I think it was T3 and I was flying to Sofia or Bucharest. The A320 was tiny as compared to the A380. I was mesmerised 😍.
It's QANTAS not Quanta's, seriously 😒
@@joanneburford6364 Is that all you noted ? Hold your horses… It’s a typo !
YAY Nicky!! Love Mr. Pro-fessional
Loving the content
I would love to see more of the outside of the Plane and wing views, etc. in your videos :)
almost expected Liam to appear to do the economy and premium economy seats.
good ad for Qantas
I've flown premium economy many times over the years Qantas is one of the better offers out there, up there with Singapore and Emirates and the seats are definitely improving. For someone with back issues and my 6 foot partner it's great to have the extra seat and leg room without spending the big money on business.
Definitely would have done the economy on a shorter leg....
He was smart: did economy and premium economy on the shorter legs, and business and first on the longer legs. That mixed it up in the video as he presented by class rather than leg.
Oooh zero carb doc. How do you manage food on flights? I am zero carbs too.
Thanks for reviewing our Flying 🦘. What do you rate the Tim Tam out of 5?
Getting decent coffee in Australia is an understatement.
We have great coffee🎉
How was it that you were always able to be on board before anyone else? Interesting video thank you.
The thumbnail shows him having a blast in economy and premium, while he seems so formal in business and first 😆
Amazing video👍
Glad to see Qantas provide an excellent service to you Nicky. Everything they use is environmental friendly.
One thing I like from Qantas whether I am in which class is the sense of Home. The cabin crew treat the passenger like part of the family. Especially, the cabin announcement.
Nicky if you wanna try something else from Qantas, try out their Domestic flight. It might be a little different but the service are the same.
That's if they don't cancel the flight or lose your baggage mate.
Not necessarily, as the domestic flights are operated by other regional airlines under QF branding.
@@mattybaby1116When does that happen? Just your experience?
@@AnneMB955 yeah my experience and many other Aussies. Qantas has been on a downward spiral for a while now. It was really bad for a while over Covid. Had my flights cancelled and they did not even refund me until this year (tried giving me flight credit refunds of the amount I paid but flight prices have risen since so if I was to book the same flight I would have to pay the flight credit refund plus nearly double in actual money).
I am travelling First Class every time I fly.....ohhh OMG I just woke up... I must have been dreaming...Now heading back to Economy....oh wait I can't even afford that. 🤣🤣Thank you for sharing this video.
I am truly looking to go to London and looking at every clip and every hint I can find...It will be a bucket list trip for my wife and I and maybe only a one off...The problem for us is that we live on an island and that means we have to travel to Australia...another set of flight costs, Hotel costs there and back. Then pay for the rest of the trip to London and back.
Do they have room in Baggage?
Cheers mate for your vidoes.
Save up, it’s well worth it. ✈️
Maybe its just me but I will go out of my way to fly Qantas. I literally just got off my return flight from HKG-MEL (Business) and yes it had a 3hr delay on they way up and a 2hr delay on the way back but the service was impeccable and the seat was super comfy and just overall was a great experience and flight.
I will too, but there seems to be this thing, where hating on Qantas is all the rage.
Yeah and it's quite sad 😢
@@JustinWatson23When I hear naysayers, I’ll ask them when they flew last. No-one so far.
I love the Qantas soundtrack that you can hear snippets of throughout the video. I know, I'm strange 😂🤷♂
Great video Nicky. Even Economy looks pretty high end. BTW, what is the record or number of Pluffies in a video? Maybe we need to ask Mr Pluffy himself? Thanks for doing these.
For starters, you’re uber cute and your presentation style is adorable. Loved this presentation. Thank you.
It’s funny, I’m from New Zealand and you know that our airline is competing with these guys all the dang time, however I really like QF and they have the edge! And I’ve always found the premium economy food amazing! Always have a look at the website after booking as there is usually an exclusive meal you can pre order 😊
They are on the edge of the edge of being the most unreliable, untrustworthy airline in Australia.
@@Tmc3580let’s be honest, all airlines in Australia are unreliable. I’ve had more experiences with Virgin cancelling or delaying flights than any other airline in the last few years.
Air NZ are excellent, i used premium economy and was very impressed. I would choose them over Qantas any day.
@@Arrwmkr Wish Air NZ would do domestic Routes in Australia.
Love the Air New Zealand ads. Will get there one day, for the 3rd time. 👋🏻
Awesome qantas A380 good job
This is very interesting to watch, would have been useful to compare the London to Sydney via Singapore offereing with the London to Perth non-stop offering. One is the A380, the other the 787, my thoughts are that the A380 will give a better journey but the idea of the video is to find out if this is the case.
I expected that in the economy class there would be the company logo but instead they are simple seats but overall Qantas is a beautiful airline you will surely have spent a lot of money traveling in the 4 classes
Impressive. The last BA Club Class flight I took (Tampa to LHR) would have been put to shame by Qantas Economy. BA's recent announcement that it is aiming to regain its (distant) title as the World's Favourite Airline means it has a mountain to climb, and then some. Hard to believe that any carrier could now better Qantas.
"Hard to believe that any carrier could now better Qantas." Have you been living under a rock? Qantas pales in comparison to ME3, SQ, CX, Asiana, Japan Airlines and many more
Flew from London premium economy with Qantas and the couple in front got on in Singapore. They were British and flew BA to Singapore and were shocked at the difference in premium economy on Qantas,they said they wouldn’t fly BA again.Asked us if it was a one off and we assured them we had done it six times always the same experience.
I wonder who decides the ranking. Those who are the most easily influenced with handouts? 😉
More Aussie content please!
One of the best airlines in the world right now
Qantas has the best boarding music of any airline
You should do what you did with United, American, and Delta. Economy, Premium Economy, and Business + first with British Airways, Lufthansa, and Air France
Btw could you do LOT Polish Airlines (I would love your opinion about this airline). Also, love your vids
