Does anyone know what row one of the food choices usually runs out is?

seat number?

Some people on airplanes are totally obnoxious in economy. Great vid

I fly Batik Air back in 2024 flying in PK-LBK (also 737-8GP) on OD2108

Really professional! We are headed to Seminyak from Perth, mid Feb 2025. 3 adult sons too. We have an Airbnb 5 bed 6 bath. Have always avoided Bali .....we favour Fiji and have been 3 times. XXX

Welcome to my hometown.

It’s a little bit late but I’m going on the same flight from Adelaide to Brisbane Same flight number

My Uncle and his wife had cause to fly some Long-Haul flights between Sydney and Tokyo, then Tokyo to London Heathrow with JAL aka Japanese Airlines, and back again 3 weeks later. I believe that there flights were okay, a mixture of 777 and Dreamliners, but my uncle had been looking forward to trying some Japanese food and was sadly disappointed when there wasn't really any Japanese cuisine to choose from on the menu and they had to opt for Fish and Chicken (not on the same flight).

I didn't see the seats

I really like your videos - you seem really down to earth and I like how you just provide relevant info without any drama (cf Cahill/non-stop Dan etc...). The flight looked pretty empty, hopefully business picks up or we end up losing them! Cheers

Wow I pls thank yes those who know I born in Canberra snow I Melbourne can me meet you 😮😮😅😅😢😢😢

hi where to stay in kamala ? near beach but also near some bars

Way better Australia plan ,Australia greedy, they can't even update their seating

Jesus. Bleurgh.

Wondering which guesthouse you stayed in this video.

Have been to Bali many times. But first time in October to Sanur. It’s now our new favourite. Just love it. Planning a month in October this year

Doing this flight in September... then on to London A380

10/10 on those emails, making your case in a polite yet assertive way.😃

Thank you for the great detailed video, it's really helpful :) 😃

I keep seeing 900 and 1000 videos. What’s the difference between them? Seems like they interchange the planes on longhaul routes all the time.

Compliments of the season to you Luke and all those precious to you. Another dinkum Aussie from the shoulder (warts and all) flick. Mt takeaway is 1 you must have a very understanding employer, and 2 Qantas' wonderful culture was poisoned decades ago first by Dixon. Then the Irish midget., therefore rebuilding what was once was may prove impossible in our current cultural shifts and political self-interested soft koks, Captain Longe bribery not the least of it. The insidious infiltration of all things Emirates and QATAR are also factors DNATA bought catering and ground services, Qatar playing both sides on various shareholdings and frequent flyers each way bets now with code sharing with Virgin. The average punter through no fault of their own is now the prisoner of the big end of town . Unfortunately, still being involved in lots of areas relating to aviation, happily people not knowing what they don't know are led like lambs to the corporate slaughterhouse.. Your insights honest from your perception are refreshing, sadly not read widely enough. Keep on being a diamond in the rough mate. The truthful perception will always give its own rewards.. Again stay safe and employed (grin) as a sh$t storm is coming worldwide. Drop a heads up if/when approaching Perth ( not when its 44c in the waterbag though) merry Xmas from a cranky old fart

Nicely explained Luke. I found myself in a similar situation back in 2022 when a big storm in Perth meant my overnight flight to Sydney was cancelled due to the terminal loosing power and then I subsequently missed the connecting flight to Wellington. This meant an overnight stop in Sydney. Think it took them nearly 2 months to finalise my reimbursement claim at the Citadines near the airport which I think you also once showed in a previous video and that pretty much maxed up the supposed allowance and that wasn't exactly even at a peak time. With the way prices are going I can really sense people getting caught out of pocket big time in this situation. It's good that they eventually covered it even if they tried to bluff their way to a higher but still not enough amount first. It's really hard to tell though if they wouldn't be so accomodating of those without status or leverage such as a name or channel! Considering Qantas have a Hotels website they should really have a list of hotels or a criteria of what properties that would be considered reasonable to book in the circumstance regardless of price volatility. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year mate!

Worse places you could get stuck eh

Nice video mate! Also good to see things are starting to get quite streamlined over at QF in regard to these cancelations which used to be absolute headaches! Also, a heads up, if you booked with AMEX, you'll usually get access to domestic and international travel insurance for free (granted you paid with a rewards amex). I've always found them to be really handy to call in these situations as they often find and cover a hotel for you.

There is possibly legislation going through parliament pending agreement that airlines must assist customers (or refund) with hotels/flights. It cannot come soon enough.

Ive not been a fan of Qantas lately. I so go contrarian though and say if you had gone on Jetstar you might be totally on your own. No reimbursement and no re-route

A great informative video. Luckily, I have never had this happen to me, but it's good to know what to expect and how to handle the situation. Just goes to show what a few polite emails can do. I think the outcome was quite reasonable in the circumstances. Look forward to following you around the globe in 2025. Season's greetings.

I Don't know why but I feel like Qantas is slowly going downhill don't you think? I'm from Adelaide myself and I love watching your video's :P

合肥发展太快了，20年前我还是小孩的时候，合肥市中心还有农田，现在变成了cbd

are you here now？l may entertain you if you are still in hefei❤

Great video - very informative on the Emirates A380 business class … wifi info 👍bed info in relation to height 👍 - articulate with a well modulated speaking voice👍 All really great- we’re planning a bus. class to Italy in 12 months or so.

Great video, Luke. Beautiful views on takeoff! It's nice the crew was able to pull together some gluten-free snacks for you. Sorry your connecting flight got canceled. That's always painful. I hope you got your reimbursements without too much hassle.

Thanks Luke for this video - really enjoyed it . I appreciate your honesty and unfiltered reviews. I was lucky enough way back in 2017 to visit The Pier, and loved the whole lounge and onboard CX experience ! We had fantastic customer service both on the ground, and in the air. Staff were amazing.

Just came across your video so well done, you definitely get the thumbs up from me (I don't like vlogs where they don't speak and just put sub-titles, a big turn off in my opinion). I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing more of your adventures. Well done mate.

ANA and JAL are both famous for their soft product especially the famous Japanese hospitality and the catering service. Meanwhile, they rarely upgrade their planes which results in many planes still having dated cabin. I'm glad that they have just done it not so long ago and the new seats are brilliant

Can you tell me where the lounge was in Syd airport? Where you walked after security. I’m familiar with the airport just not where the lounge is. Thanks Michelle

Nice filming and editing.😀

Lucky you... Last time I flew in NZ I missed all the views! Looking forward to the next video. Never knew they used regular QF to NZ in the 737, thought they used JetConnect.

great video. How was the customer service. Did you check in a bag> Were they strict with the weight

The 737’s are gonna be gradually replaced by A321XLR

Nice one Luke...The 737 does the job but compared to Air nz narrow body they feel tight and tired. Looking forward to their new aircraft.....but in typical qf style they announce new things and take FOREVER for them to deliver on said 'new things' lol. Interesting the retro roo was named James Strong. I remember his iconic bow ties when he was qf ceo. A bit shite that you had to book your hotel for their cancellation stuff up.....would have expected them to sort it out for you! Safe travels man:)

I flew the QF flight from Christchurch to Sydney on 15 November and had mixed experiences. Ups: I enjoyed the early dinner on board the flight - the chicken with potato, carrot and beans with a mild sauce. Downs: I was disappointed they got rid of the cd library, and radio. They removed some movies and tv shows. Unfortunately they had limited choices on the 737-800.

Great Trip Report

Great video, don't stress about the talking, it was great as it was. Geez, $500 for a hotel, I hope everything's worked out for you mate. ADL - CHC direct would be nice but as previously discussed we need to be happy that we're getting China Southern back after Emirates came back last month. I heard Cathay has not enough flight equipment and is delaying coming back to ADL but I look forward to having them back too. Greetings from a hotel room in NTL, just arrived from ADL via BNE today, (BNE to NTL in a Fokker 100, that bird was 33 years old, was pretty cool.) Cheers!

Another great video - informative for any type of traveller. Great for us travel agents 😉

$500 a night for a Service Apartment in Sydney cough cough. As a Sydneysider, that is disturbing. Air New Zealand should be great Luke, they often rank right up the top for customer service. Your next vid sounds interesting. Oh great camera work too - NZ mountains looked great.

G.Day Luke is actually a great info vid and I love the retro scheme on any aircraft. . Speaking with my mates in QF it is a bit of a bun fight for all 737 8NG operators, look up 737 pickle fork inspections, Even with the pressures of quick turnarounds I agree QF has to lift its game on cleaning, The Irony is Donata (owned by emirates) are cleaning and catering contractors for last few years. lucky that you were on a shorter leg regarding meals. take care bloke

i never fly qantas international
