The flight was delayed more than half an hour. The checked baggage took ages to be offloaded from the flight. It is also a "full service" flight for two hours over lunch time - served a crappy packet of biscuits for the inflight snack!

Just to be clear, this was NOT QANTAS. It was American Airlines. Never flying with them again.

Ok flight, except for the lack of a clean airplane. The obvious quick turn around in schedule means that Qantas hasn’t allowed enough time to clean the plane from previous flight. So food scraps and old packaging is nearly always found around the seat and seat pocket. Not to mention the walls and all fixtures.

I liked that the flight was operated by Emirates - very friendly staff, excellent service. Improvements - Boeing 777-300ER has very narrow seating compared to A380 which is much more comfortable for long flights.

My flight from Sydney to LA the headphones and the jack didn’t work. I informed the crew member it was an over 15 hour flight with no sound in entertainment. I asked if they had kosher or halal options in one of the flights to Brisbane, the crew member wasn’t pleasant in the reply. I took the vegetarian option that’s fine but surely the crew member can say no in a more pleasant way. Although I had a great time in Australia. Thank you

Cons: I had a 3 hour layover in Auckland before my connecting flight to Queenstown on the South Island. Quantas delays in Melbourne wiped that out forcing me to pay $500 NZD for a later flight on Air NZ. After contacting with Air NZ customer service and explaining the circumstances, they reduced it to $100 NZD. Pretty cool. Quantas basically said that since I had purchased a rock bottom priced ticket I should take a flying you know what at a rolling donut.

Pros: The crew could be less curt and more engaging. Coming from Guest Services in hospitality, leisure and tourism it is obvious that body language and sincere engagement stands out. That wasn’t the case for the Qantas flight.
Cons: I was unable to checkin or select seats. Understandably this is governed by immigration laws and not airlines but on three attempts I was able to pay for the seats without a receipt only to learn later that the charge did not go through. A little bit of transparency never costs anyone.Reviewed Mar 2020review from

Cons: 30 passengers on a 60 seat plane. We should have been spaced out due to the Coronavirus, but NO. We reallocated seats which had us all jammed up the front and back with rows of empty seats in between. Not good enough Qantas! I asked to change and the cery pleasant hostess said no we were NOT allowed. I do NOT understand this.

Cons: I got pulled aside and delayed my boarding because someone wanted to switch my seat. WHY do I have to be delayed for this? I felt it was very poor customer service. I. You can just print a list and ask at the aircraft's entrance.
