What’s up with Qantas?
May 26, 2010 Australia
A couple of recent trips I have made with Qantas have reminded me of my experiences with Ansett before their unfortunate demise. These issues include:
- Frequent maintenance related delays.
- Cabin technical problems, mostly with in-flight entertainment.
- Sub-standard (compared to competitors) cabin amenities.
It was these sort of issues that prompted me to stop flying with Ansett, who later went bankrupt. I’m not suggesting that Qantas is going broke, but the way they are operating their fleet suggests they are not investing as much money as they should be in their aircraft. I would suggest avoiding any international Qantas flights operated using Boeing 767 aircraft as you will surely find a much better, and often cheaper, service operated by another carrier on the same route.
