Flew QF from SIN to BNE. more or less empty flight and I soon realised why. Entertainment does not work, food was soggy and shit, not much legroom. Flight Crew were cranky. I then flew Singapore from BNE to LHR and boy what a difference. I definitely know whom I'm flying with next time.

LOL mate - yes, they are bloody hopeless. It wouldnt surprise me if they go bust soon anyway with all the strikes....

More of a landing than descent... great video all the same!

I suspect you might be a train spotter? :-0

I warned everyone who I knew that after flying with Qantas in January 2008 I advised that they avoid using their services as it was blatantly apparent that Qantas' cost cutting was starting affect the airframes and reliability and it would be within the next 12 months I expected a fatality.

They are only bothered about the bottom line - Singapore Air, Emirates easily thrash them for comfort and service.

Hi Virgin - thanks for your response. I've flown many times with BA and Singapore and always find their service consistent and above expected for economy (they are not a patch on Virgin for business or above), but at the end of the day this is subjective - you provide feedback on how you see it; glad you like Qantas, however I will never use them again. In addition check out the reviews on-line they all say the same - hopeless. Glad you like the movies. More to come. .

The 747 often rattles on takeoff for some reason, Qantas or not. If you accept the opinion of an outsider, Qantas is a great airline.

QANTAS is still the best, the problem associated with QF 072 was possibly caused by the use of a mobile phone!

@TheCliffRichard Nope...!

@aliciddaman you obviously haven't flown with qatar, have you?

I have to say i agree a little about them being not a very good airline...wouldnt say miserable, but the past 2 or 3 times i have flown qantas on international routes between england and oz they have seemed to cut back on cabin comfort, food quality and overall presentation, there a330-300's on the SIN-BNE routes are much roomier than there 747's, which are very cramped, wouldnt mind trying a flight on there a380's though, but overall singapore airlines will allways be the best airline for me

I flew from Changi in Singapore to Melbourne 13-10-09 on a QANTAS 747. The plane rattled as we took off, AND it was so cramped. The food was utter shit, and movies were crap, yet I flew TO Singapore on QANTAS A330 a week before and there was much more leg room AND better food!!!! I wouldn't recommend QANTAS ever!
