Qantas is changing back to SIN.

What a real hardship that will be travelling in CW on a 789 without the new service but with still perfectly good food served during the flight. It's a High HardLife indeed

If you're going to slag off the oldies that's fine, but you need to get your punctuation correct!

Remember, us were brought up proper.

You preferred the current Qantas 380 J seat?!

Obviously the indirect aisle access is not a criticism you throw at the CW seat then

The BA IFE employed to SYD is at least on a par too

Blame the site I cut and paste it from then - not me.

As a sole traveller, I don't mind CW but to be honest I've not flown CW for a while as I've been busy flying J with QR and occasionally CX, which I had some excellent experiences with. I still try and fly with BA as my main airline but if I do and if I fly CW, it's down to the fare and available oneworld choice (I.e. if I get a similar fare with QR flying out of BHX which is closer to me than LHR then I will choose QR).
