I recently flew with Qantas from Melbourne to Hong Kong in a A330.I was looking forward to this flight as it would be the first I have flown with Qantas since the pandemic and all the negative publicity Qantas has received lately. I was seated about half way in the plane in 34A. The first meal service the options were chicken or beef. I wanted the chicken but they had run out by the time they got to me. (I was half way in the plane). The beef was inedible, gristle and fat, the vegetables were just okay. The second service was a repeat on the first, they had run out of my choice by the time they got to me and I was offered beef again, it was stir fly and was so tough I couldn't eat it. I was really hoping Qantas would be getting better but alas it was not to be. My return journey from Seoul was marginally better. the service was just okay, not much engagement and certainly not the Qantas I have experience in the past. Hears hoping Qantas can get their mojo again as it is the flag carrier of Australia it would be my preferred choice,
Wow. Complaining enough?? And um.. a 6 hr 40 min flight AIN’T long haul mate… that’s nothing😂😂 I think what he wants is 1st class service and quality in economy…
Thanks for sharing!
This is actually an "older" configuration of the A350-900. Air France is flying a new config with 292 seats (56 in business class) that is even nicer than this. It is a fully enclosed suite (the door closes all the way), has a tablet for all the controls and has USB-C. Sadly, there is no plans to upgrade this configuration to the newest one.
Whinging about flying economy... lol
The ash tray is for in the case someone smokes there is a safe place to put it out.
Qantas has sadly been an embarrassment for many years now. I've been lucky enough to even fly First a couple of times from SIN to Australia and the food hasn't been much better than yours.
That’s such an unacceptable main meal! And to think you can fly Emirates cheaper too and get a good value for your money with the meals provided. Qantas needs to really lift their game!
Thanks for sharing!
Started good but subtitles got boring as soon as they started I finished watching got even more boring to watch.
ooooh this is so useful!! We're going in August this exact route - thanks for showing us!
La Gemme 🤪
The food on offer didn't look good. Looks like a Jetstar meal. Way better meals on Vietnam airlines in economy
Thai has risen to # 33 on Skytrax world ranking. A few rather surprising airlines are ahead. Cheers.
Maybe they gave you water by accident.
In that case I got some funky tasting water 😊

Hi Qantas People I have email Qantas with no reply - poor service What a pity the managemnet can't think outside the square Here on service that no one is doing and that is Queenstown and Christchurch to Adelaide a city of a over a million people with no service to the south Island of New Zealand'with a population of over a million people A service which would have no competition Come on Qantas get your act together!!!!!
Was the Bvlgari amenity kit and pj's given freely or you have to asked for it?
thanks mate make proud australian to hear good feedback australia
We used to do a double meal service in Y both hots and the seat pitch wasn’t great but not as bad as current. It’s sad as a retired FA of 33 years that when you mention you worked for QF the response is always negative. I was once proud of my employer now it’s safer to not mention you worked for them. Sad.
If you have lounge access you don't need to pay extra for the lounge food right?
how do they check in breakfast line with room key if we bought the breakfast package? our trip is coming up soon. thank you for great video
Great review! Does KLM offer live tv or channels like CNN on their entertainment screens- also any games?
I fly with Sunclass Airlines Helsinki - chania And i loved it! But we Have mini turbulence in chania - helsinki flight😅 idc😂
Do you have to pay for using the lounge?
6hour 45 min is hardly a long haul flight so you need to lower your food expectations. A snack before bed and a light breakfast a few hours later is more then enough
So by your logic, Singapore Airlines must be flying a longer route in order to offer hot meals?
Me and my hubby will fly business class with Thai airways the first time next week from Sydney
A few observations and questions after watching this vid. I didn't see any bad service being provided - maybe your talking about "what" they served you as opposed to bad service being provided by the employees. Also not sure what you expected by your seat selection when it comes to having or not having extra legroom. Many A330's are configured like that (in my experience). Old worn down plane from 2010.? They don't just turn over planes like that - maybe your right and maybe you just got an older plane by chance. WI-FI can sometimes also be a hit and miss too. In the end yes agree that food for a long haul was a 2 out of 5.
When I do a review of a flight I compare with my expectations based on my flights with other (int this case legacy) airlines on similar routes. And regarding this flight the food, the seat, the legroom and also the service standard was below expected standard. It’s not that I am on a crusade against QF. If you watch other QF videos on my channel, I have appreciated earlier flights. Thanks for watching.
Great video! I appreciate there not being any voiceover commentary throughout the video!
I don’t really see what you have to complain about here? Everything looks fine? And if you did your research, you would know Qantas does not offer wifi service until later this year, and then it’s only while over Australia. Sorry, this video gets a dislike from me.
Thai announced in may that they sold six 777-200, identification numbers HS-TJA to HS-TJH. Dont know if it was their intire fleet of the model-or if they kept six others?
Qantas would respond that Sin Melb is regional not long haul. Being over night they maximise sleep time assuming people had dinner in the lounge. There should be a hot option at breakfast. Qantas relies on brand loyalty and huge frequent flyer members to capture customers.
In the past I skipped Phuket because of the too expensive flights. Thanks to the LCC I could go there ( Airasia was than 300 baht one way) But becoming older, I rather skip the LCC’s because of all the hassle and… extra’s such as luggage, food, boarding pass printing,…
In general, I wouldn't bother flying domestically from Bangkok to somewhere like Phuket. You're better off making a road trip out of it by renting a car in Bangkok and driving down there and back. Now with that said, it depends on what kind of tourist you are. If you don't live in Thailand, are coming to the country for tourism and mainly to spend time in Phuket and can't fly there directly from abroad, then flying via Bangkok makes perfect sense but in that case fly THAI or Bangkok Airways not a low cost carrier.
@@ThePatriot-gm1fgHave you gone by car, how long did it take? I think the drive down to Hua Hin is a drag🙂
@andersfant4997 I've never flown to Phuket or down south actually at least not in my adult life. Maybe we flew down there, when I first visited as a toddler, but that would have been the only time. Bangkok to Phuket by car takes around 10 hours . You can also breakup the journey by spending the night somewhere on route.
@@ThePatriot-gm1fgFair point. Cheers🙂.
I have done this stretch by rental car from Cha Am, so yes, near Hua Hin. It took the entire day, just with some toilet/ food/ coffee stops. It is not a nice ride. Certainly not after the junction at Chumphon. And take into account: go & return! It. I paid the fee to leave the car in Phuket. And we flew back to BKK. So if you would do this with touristic stops - as suggested - it will take 4 days.
Nice report . Flew the TG B-777 long haul and indeed, the leg room was a major plus. ( and I think it was 3-3-3 seating)
The cabin sure looks outdated on this A330 :( I'm pretty surprised that they didn't offer a hot meal for breakfast
Most airlines want Australians to fly with them. Qantas just expects them to fly with them. I was a long term Qantas gold frequent flyer who flew only business class with them both on domestic and international flights. Not great. The most expensive flights. Awful partner airlines. Overcrowded lounges. Indifferent service. Constantly devaluing their frequent flyer program. I flew into Singapore in October 2011 to find chaos. QF management had shut down the airline to punish workers for asking for better working conditions and pay. Passengers were also punished with no help at all. I was stranded there for a week. All means of communication with the airline were shut down. Fortunately their competition offered a status match. I've been a very happy traveler with them and their wonderful partner airlines ever since. Just don't throw money at companies that don't deserve it.
Flew BC Qantas Singapore to Perth in March. Slop they served for dinner was a disgrace at over $2000 one way. Not to mention it took 3hrs to dinner service. Having just got off Emirates BC from Munich via Dubai a few hours earlier Qantas could certainly learn heaps from Emirates. But i suppose its still better than the 737's Qantas insist on flying coast to coast. One BC flight didnt even have tablets for entertainment.Shame as i use to love flying Qantas. Even after they left us stranded in Japan as covid hit and had to fork out for new flights and find our on way home.
Minor quips ! hardly a flight to forget. I understand your disappointments though.
As an Aussie, I’m Not surprised! Qantas is a joke! You often pay more & get less! I only fly them if I have no option! The service you get depends on the aircraft you fly on.
Travel experience tv 🎉 good vlog
I flew QF from Singapore-Sydney after flying with EK and Aegian in Europe and all I can say it was disappointing everything from service to comfort avoid QF unless you have to.
That first "meal service" seems like a joke... If Qantas claim to be a full service carrier, yet they offer that, and then quite a small breakfast meal... then there's something wrong with them. Other full service airlines such as Singapore, Emirates, Qatar etc... serve full portion meals, triple to what Qantas offers. Qantas definitely do not live up to their slogan as you said. Anymore, at least.
så sjukt avundsjuk
1. You've said the seats were cramped, but were they uncomfortable in any other way? How tall are you? I'm in the 180s cm range and many modern seats are clearly made for shorter people. 2. Did you have any luggage problems? I've heard some horror stories. Thanks
Hi! I am 181 and felt it was hard to find a good position. If I fly Qantas again, I will probably pay for extra legroom. No problems regarding luggage. Wish you a good flight!
Premium Economy is very good. I flew it last year to Bangkok (from Helsinki), and will be doing the same trip again in Premium Economy in a few weeks.
Wish you a great flight!
