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.
 
Also am now 20 SC's away from becoming a QP PS for the first time..

My renew date is end of next month, so will just do a SYD-MEL return flight so I can get my new status level.

Next goal is GOLD :)
 
It's amazing how "hit and miss" the FA's can be. They really do make all the difference.

As for QANTAS 744's they have been old and tired for many years. I think because the 380's have been so delayed.

By the way.... Go for GOLD!
