Airlines - experiences?

Eva premium economy Bkk- Lon 2x the price of economy but not really worth that, drinks and food same as economy. Food very good but they are very stingy with drinks, no spirits on the trollies have to ask for them. If you ask for a second they give a tiny amount in a paper cup. In flight entertainment not working for anyone- no sound. You pay a premium price but not a premium service, they even board you last.

I always check airline safety and travel info before booking, especially if it’s a new route or carrier. I recently stumbled across a list of the Most Dangerous and the Safest Countries, and combining that with airline reviews helped me figure out which connections felt more solid. A few mentioned in that thread line up well with the safer destinations on that list too, which gave me a bit more peace of mind.

VietJet has been flying Australia to Vietnam lie flat box class for $2000 return. 

 

A few hundred more and you get the HCMC to BKK return

 

Qantas $1800 for regular economy Oz to BKK until recently 

 

I know what I prefer. 

 

Even Sillypore Air which is excellent airline is sub $800 return

Meanwhile in Oz, fly to Mt Isa and it's over $1000 return

 

And no lounges

I’ve flown them a few times; planes felt fine and service basic but okay. Layovers can be long, and food hit-or-miss, but for the price I didn’t mind.

China Southern is decent for the price, though service can feel a bit hit and miss and their older aircraft aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. On long hauls I’ve sometimes avoided the fuss by booking discounted premium seats through travelbusinessclass.com, which softened the rough edges on budget-friendly airlines. If you’re worried about comfort or long layovers, that kind of option can make the trip a lot less tiring.
