perfect moment for me to insert julian's chasers sketch in their depature lounge ? :p I'm just going by the general opinion of those guys, and the fact they had that hole in the plane this year! We don't really slaughter BA on the same level you do the Qantas. |

LMFAO, you can't rate an airline (or anything!) on what the Chasers say :p |

but it's great to do it that way. I miss their show, the humour is as edgy and funny as the UK was 10 years ago, insulting, non-politically correct and pure funny. Now we're stuck with gervais, catherine tate, little britain type shows when we had the fast show, league of gentlemen, bottom etc. |

Yeah, obviously it was a good idea to move most of their maintenance stuff to Asia. Good thinking!
BAM!

| Have you guys been hit by the price of oil for fuel surcharges & the same as we have? |

| sadly the last 12 months has seen the end of the 2 best trans-atlantic services, simply because they were running at such a low profit margin and once fuel rocketed, they couldn't pay the bills. these were EOS and Silverjet, both business class services that cost only a tiny bit more than economy, and less than some cheap ones from like BA :( |

They moved it to Malaysia Airline's maintenance facility. Their planes haven't exactly been dropping out of the sky have they?

The maintenance isn't the reason you shouldn't fly Qantas. The house customer service however............
And most of the stuff thats been happening with Qantas recently is stuff that happens to other airlines every day. They just don't beat it up like they do with Qantas.
Having said that, their on-time performance dropped from something like 85% to 65% in one month:haha:
I don't fly Qantas overseas (AirNZ or Singapore) and I don't have any preferences domestic, I fly whoever is cheapest and has the schedule that fits. |

I've never flew on Emirates but if you ever get a chance to fly business class with Singapore Airlines, it's worth it. The Singapore Airlines First Class/Business Class lounge in Singapore's airport here is heaven. Large lounge with a free buffet and bar that beats even some of the best hotels i've been to. |

me that looks sweet. Dubai is where it's at, seriously.
It's still ploughing through strong as an emerging market and is only going to get stronger. That prince who started making these "tourism" based decisions certainly knew what he was doing. |
