Rex Boeing 737 Business Class Review
As a well known regional airline flying small turboprop aircraft, Rex has recently joined the capital city market with Boeing 737 jets. Rex’s first flights between Sydney and Melbourne took to the skies on March 1st 2021, with Adelaide and Gold Coast services now operational, and Brisbane and Canberra soon to follow.

Virgin Australia Boeing 777-300ER — The business
Virgin Australia punches well above its weight when it comes to business class execution. From the comfortable seat with direct aisle for every passenger, sleek cabin, cushy mattress pad, delicious Luke Mangan catering, fabulous cabin crew and stunning onboard bar.

Sri Lankan Airlines A330-200 Business Class Review
Considering the price, Sri Lankan Airlines Business class on the A330-200 is a perfectly fine product for short flights. Seats are old but spacious, and it’s much better than a basic recliner.

Virgin Australia B737-800 Business Class Review
The Virgin Australia B737 seat was very comfortable, the food was fantastic and the staff were extremely friendly. However, the lack of in-seat power and seatback TV screen would be a deterrent for longer flights.

Japan Airlines Business Class Review B777-200
Even though the multi-city Alaska Mileageplan hack seems to have been shut down, the regular price of 25k points for a one-way flight in business class is still great value. I wouldn’t seek this product out for long haul flights, but for a daytime flight between Singapore and Tokyo, it’s great.

Lufthansa First Class A380 Review
Lufthansa first class has always been one of these iconic experiences aviation geeks talk about. While I’m glad I tried it (and had an awesome flight), I did think that the overall flying part was overrated. I think the Swiss First Class cabin is a far superior seat. The crew where fantastic though and I think they really made the flight!

Swiss Airlines First Class B777-300ER
Even though the product isn’t groundbreaking, when you combine it with a trip to the Zurich Swiss First Class lounge, it makes for a fantastic flight experience.

Oman Air 787-9 Business Class Review
Would I recommend Oman Air? Absolutely! I mean, how can you pass up on business class to Europe for around $2000? Having always heard positive stories from fellow travellers, I can confirm that Oman Air is one of the best business class experiences out there. I’m even tempted to say that their Apex Suite is on par with Qatar Airways’s Qsuite. Simply because it’s so spacious and the privacy is impressive when you have a window seat. Don’t be fooled by the 2-2-2 configuration, it’s not what it seems!
