TransPac in Y on QF early 2000's vs now
Hi,
I flew to Australia and back (LAX-SYD/MEL) a few times with QF in 1999, 2001, 2002 and then switched to UA (I become a UA FF and got award tickets to Oz).
I'm now a AA FF and can get QF award tickets to Australia. So what can I expect the difference to be flying QF to Australia now compared to early 2000's?
Better planes, better service, better food, better IFE hopefully!

But are you saying that Qantas has gone down hill from the early 2000's. I remember the food was pretty good. From LAX to MEL you got two nice meals (dinner, breakfast) and a good snack. Excellent alcohol and decent service.
Is that not the case now?

You might be lucky enough to get exactly the same aircraft as you did in the early 2000s. But the seats will be new and some might argue -- better.
