I was hesitant at the beginning with the switch as I wanted to fly on the A380, and the only option was to wait 10 hours as other flights to Australia were all completely full.

but I ended up accepting the change, maybe the one in a lifetime chance to get to know SQ service in First. Which indeed was very nice.

I was impressed how Qantas took care of the situation, very prompt and professional, a guy drove me to the Lounge to do the paperwork. Considering I was flying on an award ticket I was not expecting any switches on carriers for a 10 hour delay.
