You ask is there any reason I avoid Qantas? For me I think that other airlines that offer a better hard product, particularly First Class when compared to Singapore or Emirates. Staff interaction and attitude are so different from other carriers, particularly the Asian carriers.

The last time I flew with Qantas, albeit a while ago, I sat next to a female flight attendant on the way home. She made such disparaging remarks about the passengers back in economy. I couldn't believe she did this as she had no idea who I was. I might of been the wife of someone important at Qantas.
