Qantas Airbus A321XLR Business Class Review

I was in MEL QC on May 4th and both escalators were running and no stairs involved???

A pretty typical experience of the soft product.

I’d be extremely disappointed on a flight to Asia if I paid cash and got a short haul product.

Thanks for letting us know. I flew in March and at the time there was some construction still happening. I will make sure we make that clearer in the review. Appreciate that you are flagging this

I’m a bit surprised that the author was surprised at the absence of preflight drinks. QFD hasn’t done that for years. You’re lucky if you get a drink before the meal service. Even in J. It’s not just the drink holder which resembles PE on a 787. The seats mean the hard product continues to be a PE standard and the soft product has deteriorated to the same level. Meals without linen. Prepackaged food items. Grudging “service”. They have no real competition and it shows.

The usual has been the economy tiny water bottles. Whilst I wasn't expecting to see glassware, it just shows a new low for QF
