I suffered through a 15 hour Qantas flight from Sydney to LAX in the back end of a giant, two-story Airbus A380. It was the last international/intercontinental flight ever took in Coach, upgrading ever since to Business or First Classes. It was the most intelligent decision I've ever made in my career of flying. Yes, it makes all the difference -- and it's worth the extra expense.

The A380 is a meat market in Coach. Avoid at all costs. Lufthansa, Qantas, even Emirates….it’s a horrible experience. Premium economy or Business for flights longer than 8 hours. You can use mileage and awards to get an upgrade. I flew Qantas first class and slept like a baby. I arrived so rested that I checked-in my hotel, took a shower and went out to town immediately.

Was recommended this clip. As an Aussie, I use to fly SYD - LAX & SYD - SFO quite a bit for holidays. I only ever flew on United. Never had a problem with them. The reason your flight is overnight is that SYD closes between midnight and 6am for curfew, and most flights from the US land around 6am. The new Western Sydney International Airport (code: WSI) will be a 24 hour airport when it opens in a few years time.

During my 20-year career in the Army, I flew Continental, TWA, Pam Am, Eastern, Northwest Orient, Braniff and took a 7-day R&R trip to Sydney from Vietnam on World Airways. I figured I flew a total of about three trips around the world (at the Equator). Unfortunately, all my flights (except Northwest Orient from Seattle to Seoul via Tokyo) were military charter flights, so we didn't get any extras and there was only one class: We were packed in like SARDINES!!

We'll be flying on one of Delta's A350s later this year out of Atlanta - on our way to Athens, Greece. Can't wait to try Delta's Airbus fleet for the first time. The lone drawback: Our bird's configuration (the A350-900) is 3-3-3. Was hoping for the 2-4-2 so that my wife and I could be alone in our row. We chose row 36 which is an exit row with a lavatory right in front of us. At least we wont have anyone in front of us for the 10 hour flight.......

I'm from the American South and, as we say down here because every DL flight we take requires a change in ATL: "If you go to h*ll, you go through Atlanta!" A little humor from over this way. Delta has really improved the last 20. years, both in service and quality of aircraft. I've flown it internationally from London and Paris, and round-trip to Buenos Aires. It's pretty "Meh.' Quite boring and average, but it "gets you there" (as the slogan of one of it's dumb ad campaigns said in its short-lived life). Tickets are not as inexpensive as they once were. My first flight as a teenager was $25 one-way to New Orleans from our state capital.

I admire your courage to fly a US carrier international from a food/beverage service point of view. With prices as high as they are, I don't think it is wrong to expect decent food options and from what I am seeing from your videos and others, that isn't what you are getting! I had the privilege of flying when meal service was top notch but it was mainly on International carriers, not US carriers, with a couple of exceptions. No, I have not been to Australia even though it is at the top of my list, if and when, I do but I will be flying either Quantas or Air New Zealand with Air New Zealand being the 1st choice! Was DL really going to charge you $16,000 to upgrade to Business???? Thanks for your review....hope you had a good time!

In answer to your question, yes, I have flown to Australia, but not from the USA. I traveled to Sydney on U.S. Army R&R (Rest & Recouperation) leave from Vietnam in January 1971. The flight was on a military charter Pan Am 707, leaving from Da Nang, South Vietnam. About 8 hours later we were in Sydney Australia. The leave was for one week. I loved the country and the people, and would love to go back one more time, though its very unlikely to happen.

I've made this trip a number of times, having flown Delta, United, American, Virgin Australia, and Qantas. In order of preference based on my experiences, I would choose (in this order) Qantas, United, Delta, American, and then VA last. Haven't flown the A350 (when I flew DA it was a B777-300ER) and would like to, but my present destination is MEL and Delta doesn't fly there. The food on my DA flight was subpar, too -- in fact, the only decent food I've had on going to OZ has been on QA and UA. My favorite aircraft is the A380, which is pretty fine and remarkably quiet, even back in cattle class where I sit. I'm flying QA DFW > MEL in the new year, in fact, B789 going and an A380 coming back.

Like who the fuck is paying that much money to fly business on these routes? I mean are there really that many people flyers who are paying that kind of exhorbintant sum??

American carriers are into dynamic pricing. Always higher than you want or expect. Lots of sucker-pricing hoping you are a business flyer and don't care about pricing since you don't pay the bill. Go back to their websites more than once and prices are almost always higher than the first visit. Gotta love cookies.

@GenkisTravels it is a Delta airplane but I did buy the tickets via KLM, plus its for the beginning of January 2025, then I fly back business class. On the way to the USA I fly economy, if there are more business class seats left when I go, I will see if I can upgrade for a good price.

DAL premium economy doesn’t look like an attractive product. Plastic cups? An expired chicken something? A burned pizza? Meals in carton containers? It’s a long flight. The least that they could do is improve their food presentation , quality, and upgrade to glass and metal cutlery. I’ve flown Qantas first class (airline employee non-rev) and American Premium economy. AA premium economy is way, way better than Delta. I flew UAL premium in 2014 and it was just as bad as Delta.
