I've been thinking lately about why I still like Qantas (not exclusively) despite some recent events (some of which have affected me). Here is my list (in no particular order):
Thoughts?
- I like the idea (and safety?) of my country having an airline that can be called upon in trouble to get me out
- spending my money on an Australian company rather than elsewhere
- safety record
- status and the perks from flying extensively with the airline (QF LTG, WP)
- family memories - my parents flew extensively with QF and on occasion gifted me with points and lounge access
- work memories - first os work trip in J (what a revelation!), and a couple of upgrades to F on A380
- the A380
- F lounges in particular cities
- onboard service - not flashy but real
- getting on the plane in an overseas city and immediately feeling that I am home
- QFF program and the ability to earn and use points
Thoughts?
