Well it was my first experience on OZ and it was not a good one: no newspaper distributed, ordinary food, no soap in the washroom and very bad plane configuration. Even though we are * gold, we were assigned seats 29 D E just behind the washrooms and on 777 OZ configuration, there is no link between the two aisles, so people kept passing in our row to go from aisle to the other. You would think people would politely avoid disturbing? Not on OZ!
Also, Seoul airport is so annoying; you have to walk miles in a shopping center just to transfer to your next flight. In Osaka they transport you by shuttle for a third of the distance they force you to walk in Seoul.
People kept walking in the plane even though we were approaching HK and the seat belt signed had been turned on for a good 15 minutes: OZ FA have never heard of turbulence and possible accident to passengers? Safety does not seem a concern for OZ.
Will avoid OZ for the rest of my travelling career (100 000 miles+ per year). It is really subpar compared to AC, NH, TG, SQ, LH.
