Hi All,
Hoping someone can give me a hand to make a decision on who to fly with from BNE-DME in December of this year. I'll be flying Y with my wife.
Bit of a backstory, we've flown SQ twice, and had amazing experiences both times. We have however, only flown QR once (BKK-DOH-FCO) and it was a terrible experience. Overbooked, cramped seating, poor service etc. That said, the QR flight was about 5 years ago, and I don't know whether they've lifted their game since?
I'm looking at flying out on the 15th December 2016, and both airlines are pretty equivalent.
They're both about the same price.
They both have similar travel times.
They both are similarly rated in terms of airline rating and economy seating.
QR is 2 stops from BNE (SYD & DOH) with SQ only being 1.
The upside that is going for QR is that by the time we fly, I will be SG with Qantas which brings the airline lounges, QFF benefits and priority/privileges into consideration.
Downside is that we've still got that bad taste from the last experience which is making us nervous.
QR flight is on B777-300 and A320
Upside for SQ is that we're confident that it will be a great flight.
Downside is that no points, no status recognition, no lounge access.
SQ flight is on A330-300 and B777-300
Any thoughts from those that have experienced both, and which way they would go, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Trent
