I was checking my upcoming bookings and noticed that my up coming flight to Singapore from Sydney was cancelled QF5. Instead domestic economy to BNE and PE to SIN on QF52. No calls or notification, so I called CS. Was informed that Qantas was taking the 747 off that route and replacing it with the smaller airbus A330. BNE still keeps its 747 on the QF52 route with PE, hence the re route. I was also informed that my booking had not been ticketed even tho it was booked in PE some months ago, and, I had 2 choices, fly via BNE, go back to economy and get a refund on the amount difference.
I was keen to stay on the same flight as it suited my time commitments. I ended up upgrading with the Companion business sale, but even then noted that Qantas does seem to be reducing capacity and value added products from its international service. I also noted that the Business class seat on the A330 is not lie flat either.
I would have thought that qantas would want to remain competitive on the SYD SIN value added product market with Singapore Airlines, It seems they have given up.....
Such a shame...
