I was talking to an Australian who is in a senior position working for an American pharmaceutical company and their travel has to be United. Basically they can't sponsor anyone to fly United if they go to the USA because of it's outdated interiors. Interesting to see though Delta's B777-200 vs V Australia B777-300.

No Virgin airline that I know has a true international first class. I imagine they'll stick with that strategy and make business class better. QRC – I would be shocked if they did.

Or sticking just with J? Regardless definitely a welcome addition, about time UA and QF get competition. Cranky, do you know if they intend to have an F class as well in the future?

Thanks for the fare war, V, but Qantas, here I come (power, miles and the A380). No laptop power in coach? Thanks for the fare war, V, but Qantas, here I come (power, miles and the A380).

I actually didn't inspect the seat for power, but I was going through the information they handed out to us at the event. It specifically says "Laptop power and mobile phone charging (International Business and International Premium Economy only)." Clearly I'm going to have to do some follow-up work here.
