WLG-SYD-HKG return. Outward economy and return on airmiles upgrade to Business. Service very good on all flights, but Business Class dinner out of Hong Kong appalling. Took the salmon and suffered the following night, badly. Late arrival Sydney on return, nearly missed connecting flight to Wellington, but ground crew brilliant, four minutes from aircraft to aircraft, but baggage missed the connection. Baggage arrived on following flight. Missing passenger had arrived in Sydney from London, and instead of transfering, went out through customs and was lost, although baggage was loaded onto aircraft, and then unloaded again when passenger did not show up. Then a passenger freaked out and disembarked, with the consequence that baggage had to be unloaded as well.

MEL-SIN-LHR-HK-MEL. Quick, friendly check-in at Melbourne but counter attendant forgot to issue Fast Track voucher through immigration. Melbourne lounge facilities very good. Warm, friendly greetings onboard 747-400 on all sectors. Wife and I seated upstairs row 13 for all sectors, as requested. Good, attentive service throughout. Once airborne the individual introduction and greeting by the Customer Services Manager on 3 out of the 4 sectors was a welcome return to the good old days. Meals and beverages very good. Amenity kits have deteriorated over recent decades to be almost meaningless, but pyjamas are practical. Slept well in Skybeds. AVOD on all sectors was excellent. Qantas Clubs in Singapore and Hong Kong are excellent, but their shower facilities are oppressively humid. They badly need an effective ventilation system

A330-300 Sydney to Hong Kong in economy class. Flight attendants were polite and good, efficient service provided. The legroom was acceptable. In the 8-hour trip, 3 meals were served and they were edible. I was quite surprised that supper was supplied 2.5 hours before landing. Entertainment were brilliant with movies and world music that more than expected.

SFO-SYD  return. I would rate the flight inbound to Sydney much higher than our return trip to the United States. The food was good, but not what I expected for such a long (15 hour) flight. It would be great if they offered more snack services during the flight in addition to the two meal services and the snack on Q bag. On the flight to Sydney there was a problem with the AVOD and we could not use the video on demand feature do it a tech issue with the air plane. On the way back the AVOD system worked fully, however the meals were not as good. The crew on both flights however were great and fairly friendly.

PER-SYD on 747-300. Flight departed on time and arrived early. Service was ok but could have been a bit more attentive. Pressed the call button but no one came and the light went off automatically after 5 or 10 minutes. Meals were fine. The best thing about flying Qantas over the others, especially on long domestic flights, is better seat pitch and larger recline, making the flight much more comfortable. I would recommend Qantas for flights greater than 3 hours.

Heathrow to Singapore in Business. I was concerned about the quality of the Skybed as opposed to BA's lie-flat bed but the seat is comfortable and I got a few hours sleep. The Skybed is angled, but not the dramatic angle I'd imagined. I didn't feel it was a particularly private seat. AVOD on Qantas is superb - enormous choice and faultless in operation. There was a decent selection of snacks for business passengers in the galley throughout the flight. The crew were fairly friendly but could've done with some perking up. Overall, a good experience. I'd gladly fly Qantas business in future.

SYD-BNE-MEL-BNE in economy class over a few days. Quite good service throughout (spoilt by annoying rock music on the PA system - is this peculiar to Australia?). Otherwise, the larger seat pitch on the B767 flight (SYD-BNE) compared to B737 flights on other legs was noticeable and made that particular flight very pleasant indeed. Good service throughout, including check-in service at Sydney in some difficult circumstances. Good facilities for working in the Qantas Clubs together with Qantas valet parking at Brisbane also helped make this a good run for working on a busy schedule throughout.

HKG/MEL Business Class. Daylight flight with excellent seat, IFE, food and service. Well at least most of the service was excellent with the exception of one particularly grumpy male flight attendant. This was in stark contrast to the other flight attendants who couldn't do enough. Inconsistent service is a recurring theme for me in Qantas premium cabins - such a pity.

SYD-CNS / SYD-ME. friendly, efficient and courteous cabin crew. Food was nice and healthy. Only flew with them Domestically in Australia. Qantas Domestic desk at T1 (international) in Sydney is chaotic with long queues and not enough check-in staff. However, they were accommodating and apologetic.

IAH-LAX-SYD-PER. LAX-SYD leg of the trip was terrible. 747-400 aircraft seemed to be almost new, but seats were too small, no legroom, for an aircraft used for 14 hr flights. The entertainment system did not work nor did individual reading lights, so we were forced to fly for 14 hrs in a seat that made it impossible to sleep, unable to watch a movie, listen to music or read. Miserable flight and all the QF crew did was say that they were sorry. Unfortunately, due to QF draconian ticket refund and change policies, I will be forced to return to LAX on their airline. This will be my last flight on Qantas - there are other ways to get to Australia and next time, I will use one of the alternatives, even though it takes a little longer to get there.

DRW-BOM Business. Flight full with most pax having joined flight in SYD. FA's polite and professional, without being friendly. Everything attended to and they provided additional drinks and snacks without being asked and could anticipate needs. Food decent with two meals served on the leg: lunch and snack. FA's disappeared for some time after first meal service and relied on the snack bar for passengers to get their own drinks, etc. Received a warm welcome from the customer service manager. Service for QF was competent and without some of the lack of care that is sometimes shown. Overall a good and comfortable flight with a four star rating

JFK-SYD. Immigration and security quick and stayed in the BA F lounge - large but poorly equipped. FA's efficient and quick minded - AVOD system turned on during the delay and pre-flight drinks service was continued. Arrived late at LAX for transit and SYD for arrival and some passengers lost their connections (LAX and SYD). Food and service excellent and cannot be faulted. Flat seats comfortable but QF should think of upgrading them again as other airlines are to offer better and wider F seats with bigger LCD screens. The new pyjamas and slippers were better from the previous F class offer but QF should have stuck to La Prairie instead of Payot for toiletries. For this sector, the only competition is United Airlines and Qantas are miles better than UA.

Sydney-London-Hong Kong-Sydney. SYD-LHR trip was business class - staff friendly, welcoming and attentive. Seats very good. Sat with my daughter who had window seat. Very hard to exit window seat when both seats fully reclined. Would not have liked middle business class seat in centre row as you would have to climb over people to get out when seat reclined. London-Hong Kong we were codeshared on BA. No real complaints. Seats a bit narrow but lie flat.

SYD-SIN, Business-Class. Had used my points to upgrade and was impressed! The 747 was configured in a two-class layout, and I had seat 1B up in the nose. A cosy feeling with less seats than even upstairs cabin. Food was nice, wines great (though there weren't in reality as many as on the menu card). Due to heavy turbulence, I didn't sleep properly despite the lie-flat seat. Found it very comfortable though when watching IFE. Only criticism of Qantas on this leg is that they really did keep the cabin unusually warm. I think that may have made it a bit harder to sleep in addition to the turbulence.

AKL-ZQN economy return via CHC. Flight itself was OK. Service from FA's was good, but plane was a bit sad. Toilets not working, no hand towels and this was on the 7AM flight (First of the day), tray tables not clean, seats grubby and a bit shabby all round. Return flight left on time, again, good onboard service from the FA's. Again though, the plane was shabby and unclean, tray tables dirty, crumbs from previous pax over seats. Overall the good work of the FA's is let down by the lack of cleaning and general appearance of a tired fleet.

J Class Auckland - Sydney. After flying Air Pacific business class I found the pitch difference was overly noticable. We flew in a 2x2x2 config, and found the cabin to be too tight for an international flight. Food nice, and wine/alcohol selection was reasonable. IFE via main screen, although FA's did ask if passengers wanted to watch a selection of DVDs on personal DVD players.

ADL-MEL, MEL-SIN, HKG-SYD, SYD-ADL. Economy. The domestic sectors were good as I usually find with Qantas. The international sectors were something else, flight attendants looked like they wanted to be elsewhere and not a smile to be seen. After food was served on both international sectors flight attendants disappeared behind the curtains and weren't seen until the second round of meals. Waited on the HKG-SYD leg for 20mins for someone to respond to the call button, got sick of waiting and turned it off myself, considering most people were asleep what were they doing? How is a passenger going to get the new inflight offerings throughout the flight if they won't respond to call buttons. Luckily AVOD worked this time. The service has slipped, the food has slipped from a frequent flyer point of view.

ADL-MEL return. Our flight over was madness - fog had covered Melbourne Airport and planes could not land. Luckily we had chosen to fly Qantas so the three hour delay was a little more bearable. Refreshments offered in the terminal - each passenger was offered $7.50 to spend at most of the food and beverage outlets in the terminal upon presentation of their boarding pass. Announcements made on a regular basis and finally we were allowed onboard. The flight attendants were impeccable - in the beginning, drinks were provided and inflight entertainment was turned on early while we waited for takeoff. I had never seen a delay handled so well. Our return flight was on time and baggage came through fast. But it's worth noting, like a lot of people have, the service is quite varied. Half the FAs look happy as Larry, while some just look like they don't want to be there and have no idea about customer service. But I do appreciate the experience and professionalism that you mostly get from Qantas, which you don't often get from Jetstar or Virgin.

BNE-MEL-BNE-MEL-BNE two trips in a week Brisbane-Melbourne. Service on economy sectors was quite good and cheerful, all flights left on time or near to it. Business Class on one leg (BNE-MEL) was excellent with superb wine and very good afternoon light meal. Qantas Club lounge environment not that good for working due to school holidays and some children running amok. Qantas Lounges also full on most occasions. I had sympathy for the check-in staff in the Business check-in in Melbourne having to deal with unruly children screaming and annoying the Qantas staff while they were obviously trying to cater for the large holiday crowds and the childrens' parents thought it was their right to cause such a problem. Some of the staff on duty during this period deserve an award! 4 stars for economy and 5 stars for business sectors this time.

MEL-LAX Business Class. Check-in was hard to find and only three people working that day which resulted in a twenty minute wait to check in. A new service which was handy was the new fast track immigration and security service which was a nice touch and made a difference. The Qantas club lounge was busy at that time of the morning with a few spare seats but not many. I arrived only ten minutes before the boarding announcement. No less than five minutes passed before they made a final call after the first call. Service on board was indifferent and I had to ask for a drink after boarding. The Sky beds are reasonable but quite frankly the leg room is poor compared to other airlines. After take off the business class cabin was not served a drink for almost an hour which is not usual. It is quite apparent that cost cutting is taking its toll as lunch was served on a spartan rubberised tray with no tablecloth; the chicken was much like the tray - rubbery. I think the levels of cost cutting are now at the ridiculous stage! Business Class amenity kit handed out was embarrassing and makes me ashamed of my national carrier. The kit came in a cheap paper bag and was a small plastic box resembling a child’s lunch box when closed and a cafeteria tray when opened. Inside, was one tube of moisturizer, a toothbrush & toothpaste, and the obligatory eye mask and socks. I've seen better kits given out on SIA economy flights! On arrival the priority luggage tags hardly worked as almost half of business class and first class was left waiting for their bags well after the economy passengers had left. My overall impression is that the business class product is a shell of itself, too much has been scrapped away in the name of profit to warrant me strongly assessing why I should pay a business class price tag for a hollow product.
