TRIPREPORT | Qantas (ECONOMY) | Boeing 747-400 | Sydney – Hong Kong

    Well done as usual! The Qantas 747 looks very comfy, love the seats. I with that I had more pride in my home country Air Canada. But seeing this video, I see that Qantas easily has the edge. Thanks for taking us along on your trip!

    Awesome trip report. Love your wing view. It's cool to fly on a 747. The meals were quite small though

    2021 UPDATE: The Boeing 747 is no longer part of Qanta's fleet. The airline has been receiving lots of brand-new Boeing 787s which are being used on many of their long-haul routes. To see what that plane is like, please feel free to take a look at this Premium Economy Tripreport by fellow air travel blogger SAN SPOTTER here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpeVvdJ6Ywg

    So sad for me nearly half a century they have been operating the 747 from 1971 to 2020 how sad I got to see the final Qantas 747 VH-OEJ flying from Sydney to Los Angeles QF7474 I liked when the crew did a manuever during the climb out of Sydney the crew created a kangaroo on the flight path

    Question, how tall are you? Just for legroom comparison. I'm 6 foot 6 (198cm) tall so it would be good to know what legroom I'd have (if any) 👍 great vid btw.

    It’s a really good video. Just wondered why didn’t you show the kids section as there could be kids watching your video? Anyway, the nicest video I saw and impressed with the mandarin you put at the end although Hong Kong is cantonese and English.
