Happy you had a great experience, for me it comes down to the seat and I know the dreamliner well.

Sounds a bit ominous
Qantas urged to ground all of its 737s after second aircraft crack discovered
https://www.smh.com.au/business/comp...31-p5360y.html
Qantas have enjoyed a stellar reputation for safety over the years. You could argue there's nothing to worry about but a pessimist might suggest its their turn for a major accident :eek2:
Speaking of 737 drama's. I had a bit of a chuckle the other day about one of the senators statements when he was giving Boeing's CEO a roasting at the congressional hearing into the 737MAX fiasco. He said he'd rather walk than fly on one of their 737MAX's !
Thankfully AIR don't have any of those shonky planes as they have enough to deal with regarding the dodgy engines on their nightmareliners.
The other day I read that Rolls Royce engineers had a lot to do with helping BMW, (BMW own Rolls Royce vehicles division), calibrate the air suspension system on their premier model the 7 Series BMW. That's all I needed to read in terms of avoiding one of those...
Interesting to see Jetstar on this list of 10 safest airlines in the World. Dreamliner problems no doubt weighing on AIR http://www.jacdec.de/airline-safety-ranking-2018/
When you think about it, in the modern era these kinds of airline safety rankings are a complete waste of time, pandering only to the obsessions of nervous flyers.
Comparing a handful of incidents spread over millions of flights and millions & millions of passenger miles flown, and reducing them to fractions of fractions of fractions of a percentage to come up with a safety ranking is rather meaningless.
(Still, I always feel most relaxed when flying on AIR :) )
The Singapore A350-900 landed easy easy at Wellington today

Thankfully AIR don't have any of these 737's with their dodgy pickle forks.
