Qantas Airways

SYD-DXB-LHR-DXB-SYD. Recently did a return London flight in Premium Economy on an A380. Managed to score an exit row seat on the trip over and had the back corner on the way back - both were good. Try and always get a window seat if you can - the extra storage bin on the side is really useful. I was very satisfied with all aspects - friendly crew decent food good wine and I really like the small cabin. After walking through the huge Business Class cabin the Prem Econ cabin feels more intimate and much quieter. I am a big broad guy at 6'2 & around 100kgs and found the seat quite comfy and wide enough. It does not go flat (or close to it) but I was comfortable enough. Doing this trip annually in Business Class - usually on Middle Eastern airlines - I was quite happy to save the $3k-$4k and still have the benefit of fast boarding/check-in and a nice relaxing trip without the excess of a limo to and from the airport etc that you really pay for. If you can get a good deal on this fare like I managed to it is definitely worthwhile and it is good to see Qantas at the top of their game again.

30 Aug 13 Flight QF974 and 1 Sep 13 Flight QF973. Recently flew BNE-TVL return. Great flight and cabin crew were faultless snack meals both ways were very nice.

Just came back from Dubai today on Qantas QF001 in A380 on a code share flight with Emirates which was my original airline. This was the first time I had travelled on Qantas and would say that it was my worst experience watched the rudest flight attendants giving the worst of service to passengers. It was evident from their body language that they were not the least bothered about being polite to passengers. I am not saying that all of them were rude but most were. The food was pathetic and in the name of hot food only omelette was served and the quantity and quality of the food was not up to standard. I was stopped by one of the female attendants when I was trying to go into the toilet after standing in a long queue before the landing as they wanted to clean the toilet which was not required at that time as there was a long queue.

LAX-BNE. Wonderful staff great flight. Flying solo with two kids (4 and 5 month old) can be a challenge. The cabin crew were helpful coming and holding my daughter seeing if I needed anything. They came and chatted during the flight and kept seeing how we were doing. Nothing was too much hassle. I really can't compliment them enough. We fly international a couple of times a year for my husbands work and always fly Qantas due to their outstanding service. It's the little things that make flights bearable especially with kids. As soon as we landed we got on a Virgin Flight over to Bali and the Virgin crew where so rude and too cool for school it was a bit of a shock. Food is great service is wonderful heaps of entertainment.

Agree with "28 August 2013 by N Woodcock" - recently flew with Qantas-BA: Melbourne-Montreal-London Heathrow- Melbourne and I found the service has vastly improved at every level since I last travelled with the carrier several years ago.

I travel Business Constantly on Qantas throughout SEA. Most flights were satisfactory and staff treated me with respect. I will say former comments about luggage so true. You travel business and you get your bags last in Australia. In Indonesia BKK HK and Singapore always one of the first. So there is something wrong with priority baggage in Australia this is pathetic. The food is good the wines are very good. But the seat in business I can only sleep in for about 3 hours before I get uncomfortable. The screens in Qantas are inferior to Cathay and Emirates. Now the bags in the overheads I usually sit in 1A and the people who fill up my overhead with their bags really annoy me. The Toiletry Bag could be better and Qantas are inconsistent with when and on what flights they give PJs. I will be flying First to HK soon look forward to the experience.
