    Hi people, never posted in this forum before. I'm flying to Australia in June ... the first leg of our journey is Dublin to Frankfurt (Aer Lingus) and then Frankfurt to Singapore (Qantas) and then finally Singapore to Sydney (Qantas). I was just curious, what is the in-flight entertainment like on board Qantas (I'm flying economy btw) ... like is there personal monitors on the back of every seat .. is there a good selection of movies ect. Also I haven't yet received the flight itinerary yet ... how long roughly will each leg of my flight be?.

    Dub fra about 2.5 hrs
    Fra sin about 11 hrs
    Sin syd 9ish

    depends on what a/c you get... flew with QF MEL_NRT last yr had on demand stuff but it was an A330.

    Europe OZ is usually 747-400... back seat screens... can't really remember much else.

    Bring a book;)

    For anyone else interested in visiting Australia using Sydney, the Qantas A380 has started on the QF31/32 flights recently at LHR. 3 days a week Tuesdays Fridays and Saturday.
    It is worth noting that Qantas stress a replacement aircraft maybe used with little notice.

    That's now though, who knows what it will be next week! Its considered the norm to give the mean flight time... which is certainly not 2h hrs 30 mins :rolleyes:

    Who are you calling buddy? Do you know me or something? I take it that you don't, so refrain from calling me that or anything similar thanks.

    I don't see any humour in his comment telling me to "lighten up buddy", so I've asked him politely from refraining to do it again. There's nothing wrong with that so why are you getting involved
