Qantas · Premium economy

Melbourne → Los Angeles

Melbourne · Melbourne Airport (MEL) → Los Angeles · Los Angeles International (LAX)

Premium economy on the A380’s upper deck, crossing the Pacific.

London → Perth · QF10

London · Heathrow (LHR) → Perth · Perth Airport (PER)

A couple’s London–Perth review balancing the larger seat against difficulty resting over a very long nonstop flight. A useful counterpoint to reviews that focus mainly on cabin dimensions.

Sydney → Los Angeles · QF11

Sydney · Sydney Kingsford Smith (SYD) → Los Angeles · Los Angeles International (LAX)

A detailed Sydney–Los Angeles review balancing improved meals and service against reservations about the foot net and space when seats recline. Especially useful for judging comfort over a full long-haul flight.

Singapore → London · QF1

Singapore · Changi (SIN) → London · Heathrow (LHR)

A detailed review of the 60-seat A380 cabin, including differences in window-side storage, shared mains power and the calfrest. Particularly useful when comparing apparently similar seats on the map.

Singapore → London · QF1

Singapore · Changi (SIN) → London · Heathrow (LHR)

An overnight Singapore–London account covering recline, the footrest and meal service after a delay. The original photographs also show the between-meal hot snack and cabin storage.

Sydney → Santiago · QF27

Sydney · Sydney Kingsford Smith (SYD) → Santiago · Arturo Merino Benítez (SCL)

A Sydney–Santiago journey with close seat photographs and a full account of the meal service. A useful long-flight test of Premium Economy comfort when a flat bed is outside the budget.

Rome → Perth · QF6

Rome · Rome Fiumicino (FCO) → Perth · Perth Airport (PER)

A Rome–Perth trip after an unexpected upgrade, with a close look at the 787 Premium Economy seat and service. The upgrade is part of this traveller’s story, not a benefit to expect when booking.

San Francisco → Melbourne · QF50

San Francisco · San Francisco International (SFO) → Melbourne · Melbourne Airport (MEL)

A long overnight flight in bulkhead seat 20A, with detailed photos of the footrest, tray and bedding. Especially useful for judging whether premium economy provides enough rest on a US–Australia journey.

Sydney → Singapore · QF1

Sydney · Sydney Kingsford Smith (SYD) → Singapore · Changi (SIN)

The Sydney–Singapore sector of QF1, covering the refurbished upper-deck premium cabin, seat comfort and the two meal services.
