To (somewhat) answer your question regarding the apparently 'lazy' take-off, there are many factors that dictate how an aircraft departs an airport. There are what's called Standard Instrument Departures which are pre-planned routes which aircraft must follow for safety and/or noise abatement reasons; these will dictate, to an extent, the climb rate. As you can appreciate, the A380 is a big old heavy beast so it's not as spritely as smaller airliners. Then there is what airlines refer to as a 'Cost Index'. A CI is a calculation used to take into account the relationship between fuel costs and time costs. A faster climb may increase fuel cost (and also usually generates more noise) so the airline will try to balance all these factors while also considering passenger comfort. Hope this helps!

Loved your video. We did the same flight in November 2024. We also booked Premium Economy, and I was really excited as I was going to have a window seat. I will always try to get an aisle seat on a long haul flight. Sadly (just kidding) I lost the window seat - we ended up in the middle seat right at the back of the cabin 🤤, in Business 😀. I am just as unco as you with the luggage tags, so one of the perks was one of Qantas staff did it for me at check in (which is with a real person). But of course no help with the loo doors, which I also struggle with. We came back from LAX (it was a round the world flight) in Premium Economy. While not as good as business (naturally) my own view is it is comfortable enough to justify the extra dollars, but the step up to Business is not. It is about $5000 extra (which can be used on better accommodation at your destination). We upgraded with points, which I think is justified (use them or lose them), but I wouldn’t spend the extra dollars for Business unless I became really wealthy

A premium economy seat gives you access to the business lounge?

I love you so much and you are the best friend Al from hummy

Singapore airlines are the stingiest as far as amenity kits go

It looks so nice! ❤

I am doing the same flight as you at Easter time, I am very excited. Great video! 🤍

Oh I could so travel with you. Loved your video. I’m crazy early for flights, I relax more once there. Have a long flight booked Melbourne-Brisbane-Taipei-Toronto, about 26 hrs flying time. Eva air though. Longest Qantas was 33 hrs - Mel-Syd-Singapore-KL-Bahrain-Damascus-Orly-London. OMG it was when entertainment was via a projector and the bulkhead was where you viewed the film on.

Lovely report, thank you! Very good meals on Pr. Econ. Good to see QF maintaining the standards on the London run. Last time I did that flight 10 years ago, the crew were wonderful.

Great flight vlog - or should that be a flog? And Qantas Premium Economy looks excellent. Those airline white waste/sick bags are brilliant for the flight debris - I end up using them to put all the wrapping, plastic bits and so on that ends up in my seat pocket or floor area on longhaul flights.

Great video. I'm off to Sydney next Christmas with my family using Quantas and premium economy. Did you like that seat at the back? Do you get full recline? I like the idea of no one behind you, so you can fully recline when you like. We will be flying back from Perth, which will be 17hrs non stop!

What's the longest flight you've taken before? Have you been on QF1 before? Do you get nervous flying too?

Hyper bien est ce que je trouve un travail dans le domaine de la pâtisserie ? Abdoo

Out of all them only 1 of them roasted their own coffee... Check out the coffee barun at sefton park, also have a shop at St Agnes where there roastery is

Great bakery the Dulwich Bakery. There are photos of Uncle Robert coming out of that bakery with two maybe 3 pies for lunch.

Wonderful content and so well presented. They say that talent is inherited.

🤤🤤

I went there last week and it was amazing! I recommend arriving early to snag some amazing pastries.

Would love a pair of the green!!

Where in Sydney is it please?

❤

I am going to Auckland, so I will check this out! Thanks!

The answer to the cream/ jam debate depends on who you ask. If you ask a Cornish person, they'll tell you it's jam first, cream second. If you ask a Devonian person, they'll tell you that it's cream first, jam second

Penso che sia un'esperienza costosa, ma se ne fa tesoro a lungo e sicuramente saltare il pasto precedente

Real comfortable server.

Butter first to melt into the scone then strawberry jam and last cream.... Yummmmmmmy 😂

hello YT video watching people

hint: 37 C is about 99 degrees F

Very good! Well done! Wish it was longer

Cheers...☕🍵👌👍❤🙂

So enjoyed your video. I will probably never get toHarrods but feels like i've been there with you

Now you should mention whether or not it was well air conditioned in 37 degrees because none of that opulence would matter if you don’t have AC in the first place.

I love your content… your videos are so well done. I hope you get more views on this as it an excellent vid. I didn’t know much about Pirate Life Brewery, but now you’ve got me intrigued.

Your command of the English language is primarily in composition... Literacy skills is seen as a upheaval to yourself. Try try try again in defenition. Well done 🧐

You're so polite, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the best.

Thanks for the recommendation mate! Will definitely try these when I get back to Melbourne

its called jam not jelly !!!!!!!!!!

Very lovely ☕🥰👍

You are confusing high tea and afternoon tea. High tea is just supper. Afternoon has all the lovely sandwiches and sweets

First visit here. Enjoyed.

I really like this colourway! Compared to other sacai nike ldwaffles, this is winter friendly coz of the nylon upper.

I'd love to see Rodney Dangerfield walk in if he was still around, what a skit that would be! "Hey lady you must've been hot before electricity was invented"! Oh yeah!

Wow looks like a blast! "Another pot of tea, oh you scallywag you! "Hey barkeep where's that jug of draft and the pepperettes I ordered? Bring me a lighter too I feel I've got a lot of gas building up! Oh behaaaave!!!!

PS- cream on bottom, it melts into the scone, then the jelly can go on...I like tasting the fruit...I actually prefer mine, as stated before, with clotted cream and lemon curd....amazing!!! Booked the tea for August when we're there! (I'm really torn between F & M, Claridges and Ritz...) We ARE having another tea at Ting in Shangri-la (Shard).

Will they give you lemon curd if you ask?

I put jam on the bottom. Nice video.

Don't you mean Afternoon tea?

this is cool :)
