The Lounge Experience 贵宾室 👍👍👍
Because I didn't know I was going to write a review on this flight, I didn't take any photos of the lounge (thousands apologies ) but I'll walk you through it. As a business guest, you'll be entitled to use the Qantas business lounge located after security and duty free shops. The lounge could get busy at times due to various Oneworld flights departing roughly at the ame time - Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong and a couple of Qantas flights to different Australian capaital cities. Alternatively, you can choose to use the Emirates lounge just next door thanks to QF and EK's partnership.🤭🤭🤭
先跟大家道个歉,因为我在出发当天没有想过会写这篇报告,所以忘记了在贵宾室拍一些照片,但我也可以为你们讲解一下。🤭🤭
因为乘搭商务舱的关系,我可以使用Qantas的贵宾室。😍😍😍但贵宾室通常都比较繁忙,因为差不多同一时间有几班Oneworld的航空公司都要起飞,其中包括:国泰航空前往香港,还有数班前往澳州各大城市的澳州航空。如果想避开人群,大家可以考虑前往旁边阿联酋的贵宾室,因为澳州航空和阿联酋有伙伴关系。🤭🤭🤭
Follow the brown markings in the map above until you reach the arrow head, then you'll see the lounges. Don't miss the turn that takes you to the escalators.
只要跟着地图上棕色的线走,走到箭嘴头,你就会看到贵宾室。不要忘记要上电梯才会到贵宾室的那一层喔。
The Flight Experience 搭乘体验 😍😍😍
Taking us to Sydney today was an A330-200 aircraft, which is the commonest aircraft on this particular flight. Qantas also utilises the smaller 737s on early and late night flights on this route. As the 'genuine' business products are only on the A330s, be sure to check the aircraft being used on the flight when you're booking online.
今次载我们到悉尼的是A330-200,这也是澳州航空在这班机经常用到的机型。在比较早或晚的航班,大家多数都会搭到载客量较少的737。如果大家想体验到"真正的"商务客位,就要坐到A330,因为只有在A330上才会有平躺式的座位喔。
On the booking page, the aircraft type is listed at the last row. QF143 is normally operated by the A330 but due to the COVID situation, the smaller 737s are currently in use for all trans-Tasman flights 😭😭😭
在订票那一页上,航班使用的机型会显示在最后一行。QF143本来是使用A330的,但因为疫情关系,因应下降了的载客量,航班暂时被737代替了。😭😭😭
Above: This would be the aircraft type that we'll be flying on today. (Photo for illustration purposes only, it isn't the actual aircraft that was flown on)

Something worth noticing is that even on the same aircraft type, there are 2 different configurations, as shown below:
澳州航空的A330-200有两个座位配置:
The main difference here when business class is concenred is that in row 7, there is only 1 row on either side of the window; whereas on the other configuration, there are 2 rows on both sides of the window. It would worth the time to pull out the seat map while picking your seats to make sure you've got the seat you want, as the seat maps above are a more accurate representation of how seats are laid out than the one you'd be provided during the booking process. For me, I'd pick row 7 if I'm flying on one of the aircraft with only one row on the window as that gives me more privacy and serenity on that tiny business cabin. Although a bassinet is placed behind it, I reckon it would worth the risk for the privacy. When flying on the other A330-200, I'd pick any window seat in the main cabin simply because I wouldn't want to risk having a crying baby right behind me as there is where the bassinet is placed and no more privacy in economy.
两款A330-200配置上最大的分别在商务舱的第7行。在左边的图,你可以看到靠窗的位置只有1行(7A/K),但中间位却有两行(7-8E/F)。在右边的图,则是正常的配置,i.e. 中间及靠窗位置各有两行。👍👍👍
再者,第7-8行都在一个较私人的空间里。对我而言,如果我坐的是左边的那一款配置,我会选择7A或7K,因为我喜欢较私人的空间。虽然后方有婴儿篮,但我觉得值得为了那私人空间冒险是值得的。👍👍👍
相反,如果我坐的是右边的那一款配置,我会坐在main cabin里,因为经济舱的婴儿篮就在我后方加上没有太多私人空间,我不想冒险。在订票时,不妨看一下配置图再选择位置。🤦♂️🤦♂️🙈🙈🙈
As mentioned before, the A330s have the genuine business products, and this is how the seat looks like:
上面说过,在A330上,你会享受到最新的商务舱设施:😍😍😍😍😍
The seats are padded with leather, which is a feature that differs from the larger A330-300 variant, where you'll find seats padded with fabrics. I don't have a personal preference with the material itself but a leather-coated seat gives a general feeling of being more high class.
There is a wide HD LCD screen but since there's no remote control, you'll have to bend your body forward in order to control the screen. As you may've noticed in the picture on the left, a pair of noise-cancelling headphones is provided.
Reading materials can be found within the tray next to the screen. Seat controls, an universal power outlet as well as an USB charging port are located next to your seat.
A330-200 商务舱的座位使用皮作为材料,以比较大的A330-300则使用布料。虽然我个人上没有特别的喜好,我觉得皮座椅感觉上较高贵。😍😍
座位前方有一个HD屏幕,但由于坐位上没有遥控控制屏幕,所以每当我想触碰屏幕时都要弯一下身子,不太方便。幸好的是,商务舱有降噪的耳筒,好让你享受娱乐系统。👍👍👍
杂志和安全数据卡位于屏幕旁边的储物空位里面,比较隐蔽。所有座位的控制以及叉电位都在座位的旁边。👍👍

上图: 起飞后不久的风景
Soon after takeoff, the cabin crew handed out an incoming passenger card for entry into Australia as well as an express security pass, though I kept it as a souvenir. Afterwards, meal service commenced.
起飞不久之后,空服员向每一位乘客派发了快捷入境及入境表格各一张。随后,期待已久的餐饮服务开始了。
Flight Meal 餐饮服务
A 3-course lunch was served on this flight followed by a cup of tea or coffee. To start with, a choice of bread and a bowl of salad with green leaves with balsamic vinaigrette were served.
午餐分为3部分,然后有茶或咖啡。☕☕🍷🍷🥂🥂
首先,前餐有面包和沙律。🥪🥪
Not being snobby but plastic cutleries in business class just doesn't look good.🤪🤪
虽然我不太介意,但在商务舱使用塑胶餐具感觉的确有点不太对。🤪🤪
Main course was a selection of 3 choices, I chose the pappardelle with pork, rosemary and tomato ragout and parmesan 🍝🍝
主餐有3个选择,我选择了番茄芝士猪肉阔条面。🍝🍝
After the main course was finished, the cabin crew came and handed out this plate of cheese and crackers but I was too full to finish the whole plate so I only had a few bites.🧀🧀
正餐用完之后,空中服务员为我呈上了这碟芝士与饼干,但因为我太饱的关系,我只吃了一点点就放弃了。🧀🧀
45 minutes after meal service had finished, we commenced our descent into Sydney, where our 2.5-hour journey had ended.
餐饮服务完结了以后,再过大约45分钟我们就开始下降了。2小时30分钟的旅程亦完满结束。
