I fell victim to QR’s infamous aircraft swap and flew on the dreaded A330 to BKK in Y. Honestly you don’t get how bad this is unless you’ve flown on one personally.

This is the IFE screen on a supposedly Five star airline in 2022, without any USB/Power sockets or wifi. Quality and resolution was abysmal made watching anything a pain.



Reminds me of the IFE screen on the good old CX A340s more than 15 years ago (yep these screens are ancient)…..

I do hope someone in QR is thinking of a solution to this real quick as using a sub-par aircraft to support some of your core routes is just a poor (temporary) fix and they need to get a grip as soon as possible, this is 2022 not 2006.
