You won’t get any arguments about reclining in this economy seat
Flying overnight from Singapore is always a difficult trip, but I’m in one of the best economy seats you’ll find without paying for extra legroom.

Vanuatu
On board Qantas’ new route to Pacific paradise
It’s the first time the Flying Kangaroo has flown to Vanuatu since carrying troops and freight during World War II.

This airline seat offers great legroom, but miserly food offerings
Upgrading to the extra legroom seats is well worth the price, but nine hours of fasting may leave you famished.

No entertainment, but this budget business class is unbeatable value
The price is right and the food is a winner, but Vietjet’s business class comes with a couple of warnings.

United Arab Emirates
Qantas take note, this is how you do business class on a superjumbo

This is a rare economy class flight I actually wish was longer
The cabin crew’s service lacks warmth, but it’s made up for with comfortable seats and a huge range of entertainment options.

Premium economy risks being double the price and not very different to regular economy, but there are several reasons Finnair is worth the extra cost.

Excellent service, but is this premium seat really worth twice the price?
Props to the crew for their service, but does the extra legroom and elevated dinner service warrant paying more than double the price of a standard economy seat?
