The Alviator

The Alviator Alvin Tse and Jason Liu are students that take travel seriously. Although not often travellers due to school, both cherish their time abroad like solid gold.

At The Alviator, we do wacky things, such as day trips across Europe, long-haul detours, and arriving at the airport hours in advance to try new lounges, all for helping travellers maximise value by booking the best airline products. Flying about 8-10 times a year, they travel around Asia and around the world in premium cabins and economy class cabins, never to not report back.

Review: Qantas 737 Business Class (SYD-AKL)

In March 2026, I flew Qantas' 737 business class from Sydney to Auckland. This was my first-ever trans-Tasman flight, and I was excited to see what was on offer in this market. From what I gather from the route, Qantas and Air New Zealand have a level of collaboration in this market that's probably higher than average for what otherwise is a duopoly, while still competing fiercely on some of the mainline routes....
