I had a really pleasant experience out of HNL with Qantas....well going back, not so much. My seat…read morewas assigned at the check-in counter, and usually they ask you if you want a window and an aisle given they are still available. This lady did not ask me at all and gave me a middle seat so I assumed it was full. Then I had two bags to check, well under their limit....but she asked me if I knew the limit for check-in bags after I put them on the scale.....Why?? Because she just wanted to be rude. I got on the plane from the back and it is a chaos....they should just seperate front and back entrances by the seat row. Instead they do by first and economy but towards the end of the boarding , anything goes. So I am trying to go to my seat from the back but then people are coming from the front all the way to the back....Needless to say I cannot get to my row. So I asked the flight attendant in the back if I can just sit in one of the many open seats in the back....his response is no. So i proceeded my way all the way to the middle at the very last end to sit in the middle seat...And guess what there is an aisle seat right in front my row. The food is not bad at all at Qantas but I was appalled by the service for this flight. And please do not tell me they gave me the seat I was assigned to because of weight and balance because there was a better seat open right in front of me. I unfortunately just happened to have to deal with meanies.

This is the first time I have flown on Quantas. I usually fly British Airways…read more I flew from New York to Sydney, with a short stop in Los Angeles, and then onto Adelaide. Total journey time, including stops, plane changes, was about 26 hours. Considering how long the journey took, I have to say that I found the Quantas crew, service, meals, and the plane equipment (I flew in Premium Economy) were all first class. Well done Quantas. I will certainly utilize your service again in the future and recommend you highly to anyone I know planning on visiting Australia from the USA.

Economy from Adelaide to Auckland is comfortable and direct…read more Food and drinks available Screens on every seat, with good film selection. Staff are happy and really go out of their way to help. The captain gave a personal briefing to the passengers from the main cabin which was a nice informative touch. Luggage comes off quickly I have done this flight many times and Amazing landings, really soft.
