LONG-HAUL on QANTAS DOMESTIC A330-200 Economy - Just Not Good Enough!

Thank you for watching! In this trip report we take a look at my experience flying onboard one of Qantas’ A330-200s with the ‘domestic’ configuration in economy class on a 8-hour long-haul flight from Sydney to Singapore. IMO these aircraft should not be getting so routinely deployed on long-haul journeys, as the onboard product is simply not good enough. I explain why and share my experience in this comprehensive review.

I did not inform the airline that I would be filming prior to the flight (unless stated otherwise), and the airline didn't have any say in what made it into this video. #tripreport #qantas #qantasairways #a330200 #airbusa330 #aviation #flightreview #economyclass
