Hi all,
Just a short trip report on my flight experience.
Recently flew from SYD-SIN-BOM and return in Y.
SYD-SIN on Qantas 747-400 (2 class config)
*Aircraft was quite full but managed to get a Bulkhead seat, with blocked seat next to me, which was great.
*The Aircraft looked very run down inside and the seats still had the old blue seat coverings.
*Cabin crew were great and attentive.
SIN-BOM on Qantas A330-300 (2 class config).
*Much nicer Aircraft, only half full so had bulkhead to myself
*Cabin Crew were no where to be seen except for meal time, otherwise they were busily chatting about their weekends and other stuff in the galley.
RETURN-
BOM-SIN on Jetairways A330-200 (QF codeshare)
*Quite possibly the best Y experience I have ever had, Jetairways simply ROCK!
*Seats were really comfortable, the neck support on their Y seats is fantastic, why aren't all Y seats like this?
*During sleeping time, they turned on blue/purple mood lights, this made for easy on the eyes as well as relaxing. Again why don't other airlines do this?
*Cabin crew were excellent, attentive, friendly and efficient.
SIN-SYD on Qantas A380
*First time on an A380, was a little underwhelmed in some respects, although the aircraft itself was amazing.
*The 'designer' Y seats were a disappointment, especially considering I just came off Jetairways with their awesome Y seats. The neck support of the A380 was cough to say the least, every time I moved the neck support forward it didn't hold and just went back again..
*IFE was great, food was great.
*Cabin crew seemed to hide in the Galley and were too busy eating their own snacks and chatting about their social lives rather than attending to passengers.
