I booked a holiday well in advance flying J SYD-LAX, hoping to once again enjoy the comfort and superiority of the Qantas A380 product, only to find today my flight has been changed to a clapped-out old 744!
This may be a maintenance event as it's a 744 over and back on that day.
This would not be such a problem but considering the vast disparity between 744 and 388 products, plus the overall comfort of the 388 compared to the 744, I'm really disappointed. Even if the 744 has the 'refreshed' interior, my points upgrade request to F is probably a complete waste of points and I'm considering cancelling it... I thought these swap-outs were a thing of the past considering how many 388s that are now in operation.
Thoughts or inside info on this anyone?
It's bad enough now the LAX-JFK sector is operated by the ex-AKL 332! :shock:
- A very disappointed traveller for my twice-yearly business/first class long haul holiday jaunt :evil:
