On Sunday, the West Australian newspaper said, without citing sources, that the Qantas order would include 12 A350s, 20 A321XLRs and 20 A220s as well as purchase rights for 106 more airplanes spread among the different types.

Exciting news! Great to hear that this is finally happening, although I am a little concerned about what this means for Singapore as a hub / stopover for the Kangaroo Route, now that the Kangaroo can do it in one hop...
Surprised that this flight is only 19 hours, just slightly longer than SIN-EWR, which clocks in at 18 hours I believe.
In pre-COVID days, I used to divide my flying between Star and Oneworld, and I am a fan of both SQ and QF. While SQ has the reputation of being #1, there are many aspects of QF's product that I find superior to SQ, for example QF's lounges, and their Premium Economy Product. I am quite keen to check out their SYD-LHR product on the A350-1000, even though, as someone who is Singapore-based, it means I will actually need to do SIN-SYD-LHR! -
For us that aren't in Sydney or want to connect to Manchester it's still more of an advantage to connect in Singapore. Plus Qantas service isn't great....Originally posted by yflyer View PostComment

I've actually been pretty happy with Qantas service in recent years (pre-COVID). In Y, I have found Qantas service to be pretty good, and on the occasions I have flown them in PEY, the service has been superb. On the few times I've flown Qantas J, I've been happy there too, although it's not quite the same as the SQ experience...Originally posted by FN-GM View Post

I had always found Qantas to be hit and miss. The domestic service seemed much better than international. Maybe they are doing more hitting than missing these days.Originally posted by yflyer View PostComment
