I shall be reviewing my flight on Qantas flight 626 in economy from Melbourne to Brisbane on the 3rd of January 2018. This is a old review, but nonetheless thought I'd put it up.
As I was flying Hawaiian Airlines to Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii , (seeing that Hawaiian Airlines does not fly direct from Melbourne), I needed to catch a domestic flight to Brisbane (Hawaiian Airlines also operate from Sydney). My trip to Brisbane from Melbourne, was with Qantas, on a Boeing 737-800 registered VH-VXU, which has the older Qantas livery, and operated as QF626. I was flying economy, which is in 3-3-3 configuration on the Qantas 737-800s, but I had the window seat, which made up for it. In addition, both business and economy had recently been refurbished, therefore making seats in both classes more comfortable.
Our departure was slightly late, but once we got underway, everything went by quickly. On Qantas flights no matter what class you are flying in, depending on the duration of the flight , you get meals provided. In this case, because it was just a short hop to Brisbane, I had cheese and crackers, with a cookie that came later. Though there was no in flight wifi on this specific 737-800, (Qantas is currently installing wifi across their entire domestic/international 737-800 fleet and soon their domestic/international A330 fleet) the total flight time was only 1 hour and 45 minutes in duration, and therefore rendered no need to get on wifi. It was a smooth flight overall and the economy was sufficient for my short haul flight.
3/5
