Meals on every flight?

[Punky]

This morning, I received an email advertisng the Big Backyard Sale. Across the top was this sentence

Enjoy entertainment, meals and checked baggage on every flight

Meals on every flight? Are Qantas for real?

 

[mannej]

Wouldn't some define a snack as a light meal?

 

[Mattg]

Assuming that a snack counts as a meal, this claim still isn't quite true.

I did two QF flights last year where no "meals" were served at all. Admittedly, BCI-LRE and BKQ-LRE are only 20 minute flights, but they are still Qantas (Link) flights.

Do the Dash-8s have IFE?

Do the Dash-8s have IFE?

No, none that I've been on do unless "The Australian Way" is classed as IFE...

So their "entertainment on every flight" line is a lie then...

Much like the VA "we now serve food"

There is usually fine print somewhere saying that IFE is not available on some flights operated by QantasLink. I note that it was nowhere to be seen in this particular email.

Bit hard to read the fine print when they put up a huge billboard over the Tulla Freeway that says entertainment on "every" flight

Just as Jetstar is or is not a Qantas airline when circumstances suit the airline, the same goes for QantasLink. 'Guaranteed economy seat' for Plats & above has never applied to QantasLink flights.

Your Dash-8 IFE consists of:

- your window (see the prop wizz so close to your head you're spending the flight worrying about it coming through the window
- bogans - there's at least 1 on every flight
- country hicks - there's at least 1 on every flight
- that Spirit magazine that tries to make Mount Isa seem really awesome (no offence to any residents intended )
- the surprise of what the "snack"might be - the carrot sticks? the horrible mince cake thing or the cookie?

and so on

come on it's worth every cent
