On the return flights the promised "Drinks service before arrival" never happens. I don't think that the juice and water runs are the drink service passengers are expecting.
True... especially when you consider that MEL to SIN is of a similar length however only dinner and a small pie are offered.
OzTennis... this time I flew the non-stop in both directions. A few months ago I travelled on the MEL-SIN-DXB flight outbound and non-stop return. Even though the flight via SIN does take a bit longer it is my favoured option... however that will probably change once the A380 comes online!
I could also travel from Launceston instead of Devonport... but at $1 parking at DPO for 5 weeks versus $185 at Launceston... DPO wins
