Particularly JQ35. That was the clincher for me. Too many bogans whose mug shots should appear on a dangerous goods poster titled "some things weren't meant to fly" & this was just a SYD/MEL sector.
Inflight service consisted of a F/A dragging a cart through the cabin saying "purchase, purchase, purchase". I thought to myself you've got to be frigging joking, every flight I've had on a US carrier was better than that & you'd at least get soft drinks and maybe a snack free.
I can't ever see myself flying on the A330 service again, well not O/S. I would still still fly short sectors on the A320 but no red eyes or transcontinental flights, BNE/DRW would be the limit.
I wouldn't use QF ff points to redeem on JQ as I feel you're better off buying a cheapie fare & pay the $20 or so to earn SC & points.
