Qantas Business Class vs Economy - worth the upgrade?

Have you ever thought about upgrading to business class but wondered if it's worth the cost? Well this side-by-side comparison will answer your questions. I take two domestic flights with Qantas on the same route – one in business and one in economy – to compare what you get. See if the extra perks of business justify the price tag. I provide a detailed comparison and my thoughts towards the end of the video. This comparison is based on travelling on a Qantas 737 in December 2020 / January 2021 between Adelaide and Melbourne. Service will be similar on other Qantas domestic flights on their 737s with a flight duration less than 3.5 hours.

This video features check in, boarding, pushback, taxi, takeoff, climb, meal / refreshment service, cabin announcements, descent, approach, landing, taxi to the gate and deboarding.
