Re: Qantas Business Class - what's it like?

Re: Qantas Business Class - what's it like?

Some carriers do guarantee it as that is their business product, so best to check if the carrier you're choosing does it. eg, BA has flat seats in all longhaul business class, doesn't depend on the...

Re: Qantas Business Class - what's it like?

Re: Renting - a tenants' market?
