    You obviously didn't look at the route map provided in the story,more than enough overland flying to keep you interested.

    I recently flew Emirates business class. I don't recommend it.

    I also flew qantas premium economy. Highly recommended.

    Both international flights.

    Emirates. I was too tall and wide probably, but the beds were uncomfortable. The food was worse than ordinary.

    Qantas. Comfy seats. Lots of room (not a bed of course) great food and great service. Very unaustralian lol

    Good tech on both.

    777 was much noisier than the A380, but that's not the carrier's fault.

    Thanks, I like the 380 , the 777 felt like a bus with a hole punched in the muffler but was ok

    Flew QANTAS business a few years back and it was excellent with brilliant food, probably the only country that serves up the national emblems as food (emu :p )

    Oh, and behind it was a RAAF helicopter that had also broken down.

    I thought Moretti had retired as a RAAF mechanic?
