I am fairly confident this is the aircraft that took me to Australia before Christmas too. So many passengers and even the crew were not happy, as it was a 24 hour flight, but food was ok, crew was incredible, however the entertainment felt like it was stuck in 2020. No idea if they have plans to refurbish it, but QF staff at LHR were very apologetic and very proactive at check in...... love the additional sounds at the back of the plane during your video!! Thanks for sharing!👍

[@dibsp18]

That's a bit of a shame, and yes, you're right about the entertainment. Also, there aren't any additional sounds except for the bits I chose to cut out due to people talking a bit too loud. Thanks for watching!

[@MitchellBPYao]

It's my first time to America but in the afternoon

[@Suursaadik]

A very good trip result! 👍

[@dibsp18]

Thank you!

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing yout trip from last year in May 2023. Were you able to go to airline lounge before your flight to relax, with some meal selections and drinks? And in your flight were you able to upgrade to Premium Economy or Business to have better leg room?😊

[@dibsp18]

Thank you for watching! I am only a bronze frequent flyer member, so I do not have lounge access. I am unsure about being able to upgrade - I have never tried for one as I am content with flying in economy, and I am travelling with family most of the time

[@LMays-cu2hp]

You are welcome. I am glad you are still getting your airline points in your program. You will travel more and earn more points to go to tye next level and so on. I work up on my points program on Star Alliance and on my best friend's program in OneWorld. Then there is the Priority Pass Program is nice having as well. Yes, early in the beginning I did pay for day passes in lounges but I kept working at my programs flying. And then the hotel points programs are nice to have as well. You said you had family well it is to also nice to gain the hotel points for your family also. Furthermore, yes ago, I fly in Economy so much to gain my points. Then I have worked for an airline so, I had to put my points on hold for a while in terms of flying. But getting hotels, gas points for car, grocery store and restaurants points, I continued added that my point programs. Furthermore, yes, I am 6'2" in height and I need more leg room for my knees. ☺ Finally, it is just me in my household so, I an ok traveling by myself or with best friends. Well, you continue successfully traveling for yourself on business and with your family on vacations. ☺ Smile

[@LMays-cu2hp]

You are welcome. I hope you continue to enjoy traveling. Yes, I have my points with Star Alliance and my best friends memberpoints with OneWorld. Priority Pass Program is good to have well. Plus, gain the additional point from hotels, grocery store and restaurants helps as well. I had gained those points to help you go to different levels in your airline programs. Yeah, I am 6'2" so I know I need better legroom for my knees. So, Premium Economy at the bulk head being the first row after Business or First Class is fine. And yes, now Business Class in general. Yes, for traveling itvis just me in my home. Well, please continue to enjoy your business trios for yourself first and then other cool vacation trips with the family together.

Qantas Was My First Wide Body Experiens On The B 747-400 In 1998 London- Melbourne.Great Video

[@dibsp18]

Thank you! That's cool, I flew on the QF 747 back in 2008 (AKL-LAX return) but I don't remember too much

[@tasneemfaruktasneemfaruk2784]

I actually live in Sydney

[@brian402]

I didn't know that the Qantas A380 was so noisey in the economy cabin

[@dibsp18]

yes, this particular aircraft was. It wasn't like that on the return LAX-SYD leg

[@brian402]

@@dibsp18 Awesome flight review btw, you’ve done a great job with your presentation travel report👍✈️

[@MitchellBPYao]

How many Americans were there

[@chiedzaanna735]

Good one 😂​@@MitchellBPYao

[@mattball2700]

Love to see vegetarian meals!

[@raeng92]

Strange for premium airline not to put headrest covers! Vegeterian Jain Meal 🤤 Your name is clearly visible. Thought I’d point that out since not many vloggers do Safe travels and thanks for the clip!

[@dibsp18]

Thanks for watching! That's not my name though, a few of us had pre-booked the same meal so we just took the one that was served to us. (We all have the same last name)

[@cndam]

Really dislike when airlines don't use antimacassars, especially when headrests are cloth. Meal loos unimpressive. Do better meals than handing out candy.
