In my 12 months as a global roadwarrior, this my best trip yet. Another upgrade on the return flight, only premium econ, but it is far better than baggage class.

Never been upgraded, then 2 in one trip, QANTAS must suddenly like me.

I just came back from Senegal last week, flying Emirates Business class from Brisbane to Dubai to Dakar and back for work. Given you might only be visiting a site for a few days, it is the only way to be fully effective in what your doing, as the recovery from the long flight is so much better. Really enjoyed the Emirates service and would fly with them again. I have also enjoyed Thai Business class to Bangkok and would also recommend them.

I will have to try and find a project where the travel will be with Singapore

Attached is a piccy of my seat on Emirates as we were on decent into Brisbane

The burled walnut trim around the windows is a little over the top you are not flying in (flying) horse drawn carriage.

Did you pay for the ticket, or were upgraded?

Client payed for the ticket Trevor. It is their policy to fly most expat workers (working a 45 day on / 20 day off) and visiting consultants Business class from where ever they are in the world. I wasn't about to disagree with their approach
