Airline reviews

Jetstar Aircraft A321LR flight from Newcastle to Bali.

When ‘the flight is full’ is what you want to hear before boarding

Strong passenger numbers increases the likelihood of more flights from Australia’s newest international airport.

  • Sheriden Rhodes
The lie-flat seat is OK on length, but not much wider than a standard economy seat.

This business class has one of the worst seats – and one of the best meals

I’m channelling my inner Cher as I step aboard, turning back time to see a dated business class seating layout.

  • Chris Chamberlin
The business class seats have an unusual layout with the third row shared with two economy seats.

Is Qantas domestic business class worth it? For this price it is

It might only be a short flight between two capitals, but given a business class ticket isn’t that much more than economy, I opted for the upgrade.

  • Chris Chamberlin
Singapore Airlines’ Business Class.

Nearly 18 hours on board the world’s longest-range airliner

There’s plenty of time to enjoy the food – and get some sleep – flying business class on board the world’s second-longest route.

  • Chris Zappone
The cabin is in a 3-4-3 layout.

A bored superjumbo crew lets down this normally excellent airline

The economy-class food and entertainment are great, but kids playing by the toilets and disengaged staff lower its marks.

  • Jenny Hewett

The seats are in a 2-3-2 layout.

Whoever designed these business class seats should never work again

Business class should feel like an indulgent, comfortable treat. By no stretch of the imagination could this be considered as such.

  • Sue Williams
Jetstar’s Airbus A321neo.

New Jetstar route offers fast, direct flight to a Bali alternative

New non-stop flight to this Asian tropical island is short enough that you land in time to head to a restaurant for dinner.

  • Cloe Read
The economy class cabin.

This full-service airline has budget prices (if you avoid the bag fee)

Pacific paradise’s national airline delivers good value apart from the baggage fee – but I found a way to get around it.

  • Craig Platt
Turkish Airlines economy cabin.

New player on flights to Europe gets top marks in economy (almost)

Great value fares, courteous staff and amenity packs for economy passengers. There’s only one thing I can complain about on this flight.

  • Flip Byrnes
Seats are stylish and curvy, though a fully reclined seat in front feels intrusive.

The top-rated airlines of the year

One airline managed to achieve near-perfect scores across three different classes.
