Hello flying friends, welcome to a very special video on this channel, one for all you travellers,
cos we're checking out ... the brand new Qantas 787 Dreamliner.
That wasn't it by the way, that was actually a 737, but it was still a Qantas plane and
anyway we're late so we need to get to the terminal.
Now I fly from Melbourne to Sydney quite a lot with Qantas and for the next couple of
weeks they're actually operating their new 787 Dreamliner, the 787-9 series, it's called
Great Southern Land that's what they've named the aircraft.
And they're flying it domestically just to test out the systems and the staffing the
food before they start flying the Dreamliner internationally.
Now I did try for a business upgrade but unfortunately didn't get that one so we're flying economy
today, but it's a good opportunity to review the economy class cabin and get an opportunity
to take a look at this cool new aircraft that's flying here in Australia.
So let's go and have a look.
Alright just very quickly because we are in an airplane toilet.
Toilets are fine, plenty of space to do whatever you need to.
But basically the economy on here is it's not bad, it's a 3-3-3 so it's fairly tight
for a long haul it could be a little bit cramped if you are sitting in economy but as a tip
if you can try and get row 40 that's where I'm sitting at the moment, 40 is the very
front of the economy right in the middle of the aircraft, row 40's just basically got
a lot more legroom than the seats behind it.
So if you can get row 40 that's good.
Disadvantage is you don't have a screen during takeoff and landing, but if you don't mind
that once you've taken off you've got a screen in your arm which you can flip up and watch
everything that you want to from there.
So try and get row 40 if you can otherwise, rest of the economy cabin is pretty standard.
But it's nice and light, very bright, and I love the LED lighting you can see some of
it here as well just to get that kind of mood in the cabin so it's very, feels very relaxed
in here.
Ok I really need to stop filming in the toilet so I'm going to go back to the seat now.
I think they're just about to do the food service as well so we'll check out what they've got for breakfast.
