Major problems with QR:
No flat beds even on the supposedly 777 and the new 332I slept just as comfortably on the QR 777 as I do on CX. That said, CX wins on hard product
No duvet flimsy blanketMuch prefer the lighter blanket as most airliens keep their cabins too warm
Poor pillowAs good if not better than CX
Whilst ferragamo amenity kit, it is not sealed and look cheap.Who cares if its sealed?
The catering - much worst than CX in this flight.QR blows CX out of the water. END of STORY. I flew out of Asia on a 3am flight recently to DOH - on that seven hour flight you get 8 items to choose from (and you can have multiple on departure) - I had a great, light salmon salad and gourmet cheese plate. Breakfast is a multi-course hot affair
I have pictures and the menu. They are worst than CX regional. They only serve a stale sandwich, soup and some salad, then for breakfast, cold congee and mediocre fruit plate.

CX serves a full supper meal with an express soup and salad option, which is much better. Also the breakfast is much better! At least the congee is hot

Many people are just blindly deceived by the plating of the meal in QR and don't actually taste the food on QR, which is much worst - especially the halah meats taste disgusting
I really don't see what the go hype is with QR.
The premium terminal. Like a zoo and def not on patch with The wing.
Also the 20-30 minute bus ride from plane to the terminal is not exactly good!The bus thing ends soon. And while I maybe give CX the edge on actual lounges (at least for OWE), the Premium Terminal set up is still very efficient for F/J travelers.

CX may not be perfect but definitely not as bad as the op make it sound like.

Also for people here complaining the crew not being attentive enough . For f sakes, it is a 1230am flight with only 7 hours in the air! I much prefer minimal service and sleep. Also cludos for the crew to make the cabin much cooler. If too cold, just use the duvet!


I don't see QR being that attentive and on their day flights it is worst, with the supposedly a la carte menu, but no one come and take the order for you - even on a 12+ hour flight. Much prefer CX fix meal timing.
I'm sorry, that's an absurd suggestion. You're saying that you are so lazy as not to hit the call bell or get up and ask an FA that you are ready for your meal that you would prefer to be served what CX wants you to eat (often breakfast at absurd hours of the day) when you want to eat. Sorry, thats ridiculous.
