First F experience

My wife and I managed to get 2 upgrades into F from SIN to SYD on QF32 (day flight).

This was the first time we travelled in First Class.

Mixed reactions about the flight....

1. The seat looks extremely dated, but it is more comfortable than the business sky bed seat.

2. The TV is smaller than on the biz sky bed.

3. The over head lockers are very small and extremely old (difficult to close as the lock kept jamming)

4. Service was great at the beginning, then non-existent after about 2 hours. They don't even come around and top up water (this is done even in domestic business). Also, the flight attendents look annoyed when u ask them for something. It's like we are bothering them from their conversation in the galley. Very insincere service. The call button doesn't seem to do anything, easier to walk to the galley and get water yourself.

5. No ammenity bags were offered. Passengers had to keep asking for them and the bags are worse than the old biz kits we got from SYD to NRT.

6. The food was so-so. I have noticed this when flying Qantas from SIN. Maybe its a SIN catering issue. Much better food when flying Biz from Australia.

7. Fantastic that you can order food whenever you like from the all-day dining menu.

8. All the crew baggage and some biz bags were delivered before First bags at SYD airport.

It was a worthwhile experience. But I won't be upgrading again until after Qantas update their F cabin.
