Review: Qantas flight Sydney to London via Bangkok (QF1)
Some say the worst part of travelling is the physical act of getting from one place to another. They are probably right... especially when you start in Sydney (actually, Albury Wodonga, so factor in the 4 hour drive to Melbourne plus 1.25 hour flight to Sydney plus the respective waiting times at each airport as well) and end up in London. That's a long way.
But every passionate globetrotter knows that the long flight is usually worth it- but the more enjoyable the flight the better!
I flew in early January from Sydney to London via Bangkok on Qantas, flight QF1, in economy class. The one thing that stood during my flight was that the staff were very friendly and courteous. However, there were a few problems.
Firstly, the seats in Qantas economy are horribly horribly squished and quite uncomfortable. I read that they have the most seats jammed in to economy out of any airline, and you could tell. It was nearly impossible to sleep in these chairs.
The second thing was that it seemed only every second person had an inflight entertainment handset that worked properly. On the first leg of the flight, the arrow buttons on mine did not work. On the second leg of the flight, the select button didn't work (different seat). This made it entirely impossible to use the games, and difficult to navigate the television and movie menu. The inflight entertainment was fine, it was just that the remotes did not all work properly. Actually, it would have been good if there were different movies on offer on the second leg of the flight, because by the time you had gotten to Bangkok you had pretty much watched anything of interest.
Other than that, the flight was fine. The food was airplane food, so yeah not too brilliant but edible so that is always a bonus. And as I said earlier, the service was really good.
The only other problem I had was that they had double booked my seat on the Bangkok to London leg, but they just found me another seat, it wasn't really a big problem.
