With the use of reverse thrusters, it’s much cheaper to maintain/replace aircraft brakes than it is to maintain/replace aircraft engines. If the runways long enough and conditions are favourable, some airlines might have a procedure where they only use Autobrskes to save the engine from having to spool up again and provide reverse thrust
Thank you, good question. I think they are similar to last year in terms of service, maybe a tiny bit better, but worse in terms of delays and cancellations. Still not close to what they were before covid though. Just not worth the money tbh.
hey mate! I need a tip from you. On your virgin australia trip reports, how do you screen record the entertainment system? I was thinking I would do it on my upcoming trip report to Launceston on wednesday. If you can help me, great, otherwise don't worry about it.
Question: you often talk about airport security being "automated" (or not) - what exactly do you mean by this? The trays being more or less on an automated system (like at Gold Coast) or something else? Thiught: you mentioned pricing. Not sure when you shot this - prior to Dec at least. I note WMQF over the last month or so have dropped J one way to $450 with a few weeks AP(not a sale fare, but limited inventory in I class) - probably the Rex and VA effect. Maybe when you give pricing examples to give an approx date? People viewing in the future of course will be put of date (always a problem with giving such comparisions of course). (In general though you are right that QF price at a premium over the others for sure. Glad you really enjoyed the experience though! Good to see a pretty positive QF review)
Fair question, I realise that would be confusing so I’m working my on that. Correct, the vast majority of security these days is automated to some extent, but when I say that I mean compared to the basics, for example if you have to take laptops out, shoes of or stuff like the trays yeah. Yeah wow, I just checked and saw that too! That’s a big difference, hopefully that price is here to stay. I don’t think it was like that when I filmed this in August. Yeah good idea, with my newer videos though I speak about the price in a different way, because prices are changing all the time atm. Thanks!
@@Aviation763 Really? Oh ok. I know it feel during the 2-3 years of covid however, I thought it had regained that. I will look it up now and follow up with a reply to my own comment with the current top 10 :)
@@Aviation763 It seems you are correct unless things have changed in the past 9 months. The number of scheduled seats on the world's busiest air routes in April 2023: 5. Melbourne -> Sydney 763,636
You are doing a great job. How about First Class domestic. And I repeat First Class it does not exist today. What you experienced in Qantas having is a poor economy meal service, In respect to you as you are a young child. Today is mass travel. Ansett 1970 - 1990 B727 737 flights were better economy hot meals and booze. Ansett 727.
A bit patronising there imo. Yes I too remember the days of 3 class service on the AN 727 (flying F MEL-CBR was ridiculous lol) but reality is yes much has changed.. some for the better.. some for the worse.
@@RichardMEL-777 Not patronising just stating facts and experience. Flew AN CBR-SYD on Boeing 737-377 First Class 1987 wow what service it was super on a short flight hot meal with booze and smoking allowed. They were the days! AN cabin crew were efficient fast and accommodating on this short sector! The term First Class is a seperate to Business Class. Yes 3 class service was around at the time with AN and TN domestic and flew TN TAA in those days in Business that was 15% surcharge on full fare economy. First Class was 50% over full fare economy with AN and TN both two airline policy at the time. The other end of the scale there was Super Apex Fares discounted 45% return off economy fare but book no later than 45 days in advance. I can go further Apex fares 30% off and more Standby fares whoo and more. They were the days simple and carbon tickets and save great service. I will stop here. Ansett 727.

Yeah makes sense, thanks for the info!
Great video, what do you think of qantas for 2023

@@Aviation763 your honestly correct we just hope they move forward and try and do better

If you’re on iPhone, go to control centre and click the plus on screen recording for it to appear in the swipe down menu. Hopefully that helps!
@@Aviation763 thanks! Since I have a google pixel I will have to do some research but thank you so much!

Do you have any plans to fly into Hobart
Not atm. I’d really like to though, there just hasn’t been a time where jt made sense.
I got a question, can you keep the cutlery, because they seem pretty nice.
If you asked they might let you, not sure though because I didn’t ask.
Second busiest route in the whole world!
Not anymore, I think it’s 5th or 6th now
