QF 575 on 6 March is scheduled to be operated by a domestic configured A332 which features the domestic J offering (ie Millennium seat with no PTV and no Skybed).

If only I can have a Skybed on the red eye. Makes going straight to the office after the flight a little more bearable.

skybed equipped 332;s have operated the PER-SYD red-eye recently, so it could happen, but you can't really bank on it.

I was surprised to be able to redeem 2 business class seats on the red eye special. I read somewhere a while back this flight is usually full in business class. A definite sign of the worsening financial crisis perhaps. There was an article in one of the Sydney papers saying companies are cutting back on travel as much as possible. Execs are now flying economy class to save on costs.

Amenity pack in Economy went over a year ago. Business gets the Economy one.

The meal is the Tasman product.

Free beer and wine from lunch onwards. No spirits available for purchase.

Pillows and blankets on evening and early morning departures.

Just a quick question.

Is it true business class passengers have access to the Qantas Club lounge, irrespective of whether they have Qantas Club membership or not? I know Sydney and Melbourne have a domestic business class lounge, but Perth only has the Qantas Club lounge.

Yes! If flying business class on an award or paid for, you will get access to the QF lounges.

On the SYD-PER flight, does the plane fly over the Nullabor or does it fly over the sea towards Perth? It's my first visit to Perth so I'm deciding whether to sit on the left or the right side of the plane to get the best views.
