It seems they dont even care about there local market anymore cause they know they have the monopoly on it.
Very dissapointed...
Omar84, them are fighting words, especially on here. But everyone is entitled to their opinion and you are certainly free to air yours here.
My question is this. Does SQ operate any differently out of its home market in Singapore. Or Qantas out of Australia? Or LH out of Germany?
You would find an equal amount of Aussies (like me) who think like you do, but direct their vitriol towards QF in Australia.
I havent set foot on a QF long-haul flight in 12-years. And wouldn't consider SQ either for anything long-haul. EK's pricing on the other hand is super competitive out of Singapore. And not bad out of Australia.
Is EY any better out of Abu Dhabi? I've just tried to talk to EY in Australia and Singapore to chase up a status match offer, but both staff were completely useless and their call centre very unprofessional.
