A Qantas Airbus A380 – the airline was first to fly this route with the superjumbo.

Paying $50 to choose my seat on this Qantas A380 was money well spent

Although I’m surprised at having to pay up to choose my seat,the space on a superjumbo remains unsurpassed.

The seat converts to at 78-inch (198-centimetre) flat bed.

A punishing start,but this business seat lets you bounce back

There’s great service and food on board this early morning flight,but where’s the amenities kit?

United Airlines’ economy class seats on a Boeing 777.

Previously underwhelming,airline’s long-haul economy now a winner

Several economy-class trips to the United States have converted me to this airline,with its award-winning app the game-changer.

Entertainment

This airline has no premium economy,but this is the next best thing

The discomforts of a long-haul economy class flight can’t be escaped,but these seats help ease the marathon.

  • Catherine Marshall
The entertainment system is clunky to use.

This airline’s economy class gives you a taste of business for $25

You win some,you lose some. I got a business class meal but my “window” seat has no window.

Service is surprisingly good for an economy class flight.

Economy class doesn’t get much better than on this refurbished A380

If you have to fly long-haul and can’t afford the pointy end,this airline will at least leave you feeling human upon arrival.

  • Carrie Hutchinson
The first-class suites on Singapore Airlines’ A380s are pure luxury.

I’ve flown in the world’s best first-class cabins. Here’s my verdict

Airlines are bringing back first-class,bigger and better than ever. So which carrier is soaring highest?

  • John Arlidge
The Delta One suite.

This is the best way to fly between Australia and the US

With its private check-in,stunning new lounge and business suites with closing doors,this US airline outdoes the competition.

  • Craig Tansley
The entertainment is easy to use,but the selection is limited.

This business class to Europe is an absolute bargain

This airline’s fares can be almost one third less than the price of a top-tier carrier,depending on the timing of your flight.

The writer’s flight returned to Sydney shortly after take off.

My 8½ hour flight became a 19-hour endurance test

A mechanical issue saw my flight return to Sydney shortly after take-off. Understandable,but what happened next was less than satisfactory.
