Enough is enough! As much as I would love to continue to be loyal to our national carrier and support Australian jobs and industry, I would be an absolute fool to do so.
After flying QANTAS SYD to BKK 1A, J, I was shocked and angry that once again, a QANTAS business flight, was basically Premium Economy. In fact, I have had better food in a back ally in New Delhi than this! (most meals were not eaten, and many complained) Once again, my chair broke, t.v went off line, and nothing I wanted on the Menu was available, for both dinner and 'breakfast'. Apparently, "I should have been smarter, and ordered online, before my fight" Well excuse me for being so naive, AGAIN, and assuming that when charging $2200 one way, I would naturally assume what you promise on your website would be TRUE and delivered!
False advertising comes to mind more and more with QANTAS these days.
I can't fit in all the times their product has been shocking in this post. The amount of times my chair, T.V, headphones ( J class, national/international) has broken alone would fill the site. The unbelievable amount of times they 'run' out of their prized 'award winning wine and champagne list' and meals from their menu, the constant 'sudden' aircraft changes from the 'New fitted out business class suites' to planes so old my great grandmother probably flew on them and you wouldn't book a seat on one if you knew!
Not being allowed an alcoholic beverage before take off, was a new one though!! These are just a few issues that I've had with QANTAS in the last 18 months and I'm a PW.
If it weren't for that PW status, I wouldn't even think twice about switching! However, now, I do not think THAT will even keep my loyalty anymore.
After constantly, having one bad experience after another, I decided I was going to give up those important "STATUS CREDITS" and fly Emirates back to SYD.
FOR THE SAME PRICE! You are almost comparing First class to Economy between the 2 flights. There is simply no comparison!! I have flown First class and Business on many carriers on many routes around the world and QANTAS is still to date, the worst!
So as obnoxious, and brattish I may sound to some. One has to ask one's self, QANTAS and other FF members, who in their right mind would choose to fly QANTAS and pay for a product that is constantly not delivered, when you can fly in absolute luxury with Emirates, surrounded by wooden veneer, beautifully upholstered seats, with abundant French champagne (even a glass of Dom Perignon, was graciously given), as many meals as you like, not ever once having to ask for a thing and never told "sorry we've run out of that"?????????
O.k rant over, apologies everyone. Just frustrated, and angry that I'm put in a position where I have to choose between loyalty to our National Carrier or common sense, value for money, and principle.
