American Airlines is now flying the Boeing 787 with Flagship Suites between Brisbane and Dallas/Fort Worth. Here’s what it’s like onboard.

Step inside one of the nicest Admirals Clubs in American Airlines’ global network. Here, all you need is a Qantas Club card, but you can also gain free entry via Qantas Gold and Platinum status.

AA gets the basics right, and that goes a long way to creating a solid inflight experience. Things get even better if you have Qantas status, with even Silver members getting free checked baggage and priority boarding.

With taxes of just US$5.60 when spending Qantas Points, flights like this are a real steal. Add to that, the complimentary 64kg baggage allowance, and it’s a home run.

It’s a pleasant 15-hour flight over the Pacific with a comfortable seat and bed – and the experience is set to become even more competitive once the new Flagship Suites are installed.

Got 60,000 Qantas Points up your sleeve? That’s enough to experience the comforts of Business Class or Premium Economy, or take a return trip to Asia.
