I've recently had to switch from VA to Qantas due to work arrangements. I've perhaps taken 6 flights in the last few weeks and there is a consistency of experience that I've observed.
The main one is that the flights are ALWAYS late to depart. They board slowly. People have too much carry on. They call boarding early. Long lines snaking through the airport...
All of this makes for a frustrating start to any journey. They then celebrate when arriving on time rather than acknowledging that the fact they left 20mins late.
The Sydney lounge also seems to be quite dark and dingy. Food average aside from the addition of a sweet slice.
On the plus side I haven't had any issues with flying ahead which is great.
Are these normal observations or am I just seeing a bad side?

P.s just boarding at 5.31pm for a 5.30pm departure.
