Qantas · Boeing 787-9

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.

Scoot · Boeing 787-9

Singapore → Sydney · TR2

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

A July 2023 Singapore–Sydney ScootPlus flight in seat 4A. Cabin-condition and meal photographs help distinguish this low-cost premium product from a full-service airline’s Premium Economy.

Qantas · Airbus A380-800

Sydney → Los Angeles · QF11

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

Air France · Airbus A350-900

Paris → New York · AF2

Paris · Charles de Gaulle (CDG) → New York · John F. Kennedy (JFK)

A daytime return in a new A350 Premium bulkhead seat. The author separates a comfortable seat and good service from disappointing food, making the paid-upgrade trade-off clear.

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 Airlines · Aircraft not stated

Sydney → Singapore

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

A hosted Sydney–Singapore trip, with a tall traveller’s observations about space and photographs of the Book the Cook meal. The author clearly discloses the airline invitation.

Singapore Airlines · Boeing 777-300ER

Singapore → Sydney · SQ231

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

A historical November 2015 red-eye account with photographs of the bulkhead screen, light refreshment and breakfast. Useful for the rhythm of an overnight flight; the catering predates later service changes.

Sydney → Singapore · SQ222

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

Virgin Atlantic · Aircraft not stated

London → New York

London · Heathrow (LHR) → New York · John F. Kennedy (JFK)

A points-booked daytime London–New York flight, combining the cash component of an award with first-hand observations about seating, limited under-seat storage and attentive service.

Virgin Atlantic · Airbus A330

London → Orlando

London · Heathrow (LHR) → Orlando · Orlando International (MCO)

A London–Orlando flight in the older A330 cabin. The review makes a useful distinction between paying for a better seat and airport experience, and paying primarily for the food.
