Hey Rudi!

Great itinerary! All I want to say is ...starve before you get on Ansett. Their BusinessFirst service will blow you away!

Ansett does not have a first class so their BusinessClass has 55" seat pitch, and is located in the nose and section behind that of a 747. Meals are catered by an 'on-board' chef and even though this is in business class, you would swear that you are travelling in First Class. The meals are way beyond any airline I have travelled on.

Ansett is due to switch their older 747-300's with newer 747-400's around August. So hopefully, you'd get to sit in a new plane then.

Have fun!
