Welcome onboard this is QF35 we're traveling on a airbus a330 from Melbourne. We've
just taken off it's a little bit choppy actually on climb out we're gonna be
heading up to about 32 33,000 feet. We're heading into Asia we're away for
about ten days I've got lots of flying coming up as well got some new airlines
which we'd never flown before. Hopefully some general aviation stuff in Asia as
well and so stay tuned there were lots of traveling and flying videos coming up
on the channel. But what I wanted to do was a really full and frank and honest
review of business class on the a330. Now before we jumped onboard you know that
thing you can do when you claim your tax back for items that you bought
before you travel we went up to that desk and have a look but the queue, it was massive.
So we skipped that queue back went straight through to duty-free which is really good now
because in Melbourne has recently been and done up a lot of these shops have
opened now. And I thought to myself I'm sure that'd be somewhere here that sells
electronics. I thought they'd be somewhere that sells electronics.
Now one other advantage of flying business class with Qantas is you get
access to the business lounge the Qantas Club business lounge which at
Melbourne Airport it's a really nice one.
Back to the lounge? Back to the lounge.
Lunchtime
So I had the tasting plate to start, the pasta for a main course it's pretty
good I will say it's one of the hottest dishes I've had on a plane I think
there's a lot of chili.
Now that a seat is as you'd expected so for the reclining flatbed you can adjust
the back you can adjust the footrest you can
set off the massage thing which is kind of nice it's not it's not the best one
it's not very rumbling massage is more of a kind of push in push out.I feel like we
need to try it even though I'm not gonna sleep
It's flat.
Now another thing I should touch on it is the seats where's the best place to
sit if you are flying in business class on the a330?
Well if you're in a couple you're probably going to pick the middle two
seats. So it goes it's a one two one configuration on this plane so for a
couple probably doesn't matter so much. If you're on your own it's a bit of a
no-brainer really you want to pick a row with an even
number so you want to pick rows two four or six out of the seven rows here. Reason
why is because of this. Now this for me makes all the difference so that
even numbered seats this is row six I'm in 6a, all have this on the right-hand
side. So you have your armrests on the right. The odd-numbered seats have the
armrests on the left by the window which means that you're actually closer to the
aisle. It's like your own little nook, it's brilliant! So if you're on your own
book your seats early try getting the even-numbered seat by the window and
you've got all the privacy you want.
