Actually I think the reviewer might have been asleep for a few, I flew this route in September 2022 and there was a hot meal and snack to Singapore, and then two hot meals and a mid flight snack to London.
Nice to see youtuber flying ultra long haul in economy instead of the luxury classes that most of us can't afford. Oh...and wish I had a bladder that could deal with the windows seat. Returned this week from Copenhagen with SQ. This will be the last time I do ultra long haul in economy. If I can't afford PE or better I won't go. Oh and my flights were like creches!
Most of us that fly economy don't have the opportunity to enjoy a first class lounge. I'd find it difficult to sleep in a seat that only reclined a few inches, but I suppose if I were tired enough I'd do some substantial naps. I wouldn't be pleased with the meal they served you, but I suppose that's the risk you take when you sit in the last row and have to accept whatever is left.
Thank you for muting the clips of the descend into London and replacing it with music, good choice there. I can tell that must’ve been really painful and irritating to listen to during a moment of great views. Parents should not be bringing toddlers on long haul flights, they must wait until their kid is mature enough for that or make sure they’re well trained parents. Overall, good video. 👍
Your flight experience looked absolutely awful. However, all was rewarded on descent into London Heathrow. This really is your best work to date. Brilliant video and soundtrack. We done !👏🏽 Create a UA-cam short of the landing please for the world to see!
Qantas flies this route every day and you'd think that they could carry enough of the popular meals for their customers. But I bet they run out every day, this is an airline that doesn't care.
2:08 Amazing split-flap display. Often used as a public transport timetable in airports or railway stations, as such they are often called Solari boards after Italian display manufacturer Solari di Udine, or in Central European countries they are called Pragotron after the Czech manufacturer. (Wikipedia) Split-flap displays were once commonly used in consumer digital clocks known as flip clocks.
Is that where you have departures and arrivals on two screens side by side like in a large railway station? Pragotron is a really cool ass high tech company name! I bet it's a great employer over there. I kinda wish I could go get a good employment with a great work cutlure and have really fun weekends and vacation times. You mighta always heard the USA is the greatest country, but it's not for it just sucks.
@@TUBESPECIFIC1 Yes, correct. But I haven't noticed that it is like a simple screen imitating a real Solari split-flat display, isn't it? These displays are or were used in many airports. You can see a real one here: ua-cam.com/video/UAQJJAQSg_g/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/cj32w5z81Ak/v-deo.html (this one is best in 360p video quality).
Just to point out but it can be extremely dangerous not to dim the lights on landing. That's because if you have to evacuate the plane your eyes will have to adjust and that is fatal
I will guarantee the reason they left the lights on was a marketing trick. From the ground the plane looks really good in the sky with all lights blazing. That's QANTAS's thinking nowadays. Bring back the old days.
@@yuenbarnby8228 they actually did this a few years ago when they started lighting up the tail and all the windows till someone raised the safety issue. Totally agree about the A380. Just wish old money hungry Joyce felt the same and kept buying them, but bean counters rule supreme. Actually I wish they bought the 747-8. I really feel that on our ultra long flights the 748 just may have delivered the fuel figures they wanted.
The MD has completely wrecked that airline. We have seen bad story after bad story since the Airline restarted its overseas operations. Jetstar had an extraordinary event this week with passengers after a 6 hour delay then a 10 hour flight to Bali the plane landing back in Melbourne. Somebody at Qantas forgot to tell the Indonesians that the Aircraft type had been changed, which is a serious situation. Not to worry though the MD has received his multi million dollar salary. I stopped flying Qantas in 2010.
Joyce was under payed he just sold one of his multi multi million dollar homes in Sydney just to get by, he never even got to live in it with his husband poor guys 😢 I wonder if Ms Hudson will do better?
@@jonsant7232 I doubt it. Look back before the pandemic. One year he really did well. He has interests in companies in Asia that have tied in contracts with Qantas.
Flew the exact same route on the exact same plane and registration back in November 2022😂 Great experience tho! When I landed in Heathrow, it was still dark at 6am, so now i get to see what it was like at sunrise
@@user-xi3wl8ge9e it depends where on the route. I remember there was some turbulence but it wasn't too bad. Definitely not as bad as some other routes I've flown before
I'll never fly Qantas again or Jetstar. I was so loyal to them but lit appears loyalty goes one way only. Our emails have been ignored so customer service is not on their radar as far as I am concerned.
Yeah there are plenty of shops, it is a pretty short refuelling stop so there isn’t a lot of time to do much. They also clean the aircraft so you do need to take your hand luggage with you.
Great until you moaned about crying children . Clearly you don’t understand that young children don’t know how to adjust the pressure and pain they feel when descending …
No I understand it, I just didn’t think it was very pleasant background noise for a rather pretty landing. I understand that they can’t help it but I also know it’s not what my audience wants to hear.
Well… if a parent knows beforehand that he immerses his child into such a horrible torture, isn’t that child abuse? Petition started : no more little screamers on board?
Babies are scared and their ears hurt. I remember the first time I flew my ears hurt so bad I screamed out loud and I was about 22 years old just freaking out on it.
Not having enough Economy Class meals for economy is pretty poor. Qantas' international catering really is a step below a lot of other carriers.
Actually I think the reviewer might have been asleep for a few, I flew this route in September 2022 and there was a hot meal and snack to Singapore, and then two hot meals and a mid flight snack to London.
I did the flight and they ran out of business class meals, I've since switched to Virgin and have yet to have that same issue

Qantas should be the the very best on this Australia/London route given the years of flying long haul. Unfortunately this isn’t so any more.
Beautiful landing when I grew up in England it was snowy most winters like that nice to look at but very cold 😊 great video mate 👍🏻
If you listen carefully you can kinda hear the click on the macbook trackpad whenever he finishes recording his voiceover line

Qantas Is A Great Airlines And Have A Great Cabin Crew.Great Work
great snowy views, thanks for this video 🙂
Wonderful snow views at the end there! I take it, given the snow, that this was a recent trip? Most enjoyable!

That Qantas livery at the beginning is known as the "Yam Dreaming" livery.
Great video! I must confess, as an exiled Englishman, I almost teared up at the end!
Why anyone would give this airline a cent of their hard earned money is beyond me. Tell me loyalty isn't the reason.
That’s rich coming from someone with a BA tail in the avatar 🤪
@@youwebz another QF fangirl by the looks.
@@Nae395 no - I can spot someone that simps for the old days of BA a mile off.
Those days are done champlord and they are not coming back.
Lame
@@youwebz the gen ys always have to comment. Are you being molested. Blink once.
I wouldn’t fly with Qantas anymore, they’re not as good as they were in the past.
I fly qantas back to oz every year to see my family love it wont fly anotber airline staff great and food

Nice video! Good job you didn't arrive a few days later or it might have been cancelled from the snow!
Nice long Kangaroo hop. Welcome back to Winter!

I liked how they updated the interior of the A380, but what happened to the USB ports? I wished that they put the USBs next to the screens.
Flew on QF1 from SYD to SIN in February 2020, was a great flight!

“Fatal” eh?
How do you survive day to day….

Absolutely correct Yuen, very shocked that an airline like Qantas didn't follow the usual protocol. Very poor.

@@Yeviscount nah. The a380 is a beautiful beast itself. Don't think they need to

Nice video. Have to say that Qantas would be my last choice on this route. The food and service offer is awful.
thanks for sharing, nice video
doing this flight next week so i’m keen to see the experience
Excellent

Question did you have to go through security in Singapore or just change gates? If so how long did it take? Thanks
I would have liked to have seen the meal and drinks choices, if there was a menu it would have been good to have shown it.
My last trip to London was QF1 SYD - DUB - LON
Flew the exact same route on the exact same plane and registration back in November 2022😂 Great experience tho! When I landed in Heathrow, it was still dark at 6am, so now i get to see what it was like at sunrise
did you have a lot of turbulence? I read that the route from singapore to london a bit bumpy is.
@@user-xi3wl8ge9e it depends where on the route. I remember there was some turbulence but it wasn't too bad. Definitely not as bad as some other routes I've flown before
When was this filmed???? What was the rego of the plane????
I couldn't found out the rego, I filmed this review on the 13th of december 2022.
I loved the vision of your flight. However I can hear a newborn and a kid in the background. Chances are was an annoying flight.
fire bro cheers for the face reveal
Great review. What time of year did you fly please?
i love plane could qants airways
To pronounce Xiamen Air, just remember Sha-Mon (Shadow-Demon)....LOL
I'll never fly Qantas again or Jetstar. I was so loyal to them but lit appears loyalty goes one way only. Our emails have been ignored so customer service is not on their radar as far as I am concerned.
Flying QF1 economy in July. Hope Qantas has lifted its game by then, after all the recent bad publicity and CEO change.
What's the deal with the stop in Singapore? Are there places to shop/buy food you can access? Do you have to take your hand luggage with you?
Yeah there are plenty of shops, it is a pretty short refuelling stop so there isn’t a lot of time to do much. They also clean the aircraft so you do need to take your hand luggage with you.
@@FlyingForever1 That's really good to know, thank you for sharing!
How are you platinum? Definitely jealous of that
But was it on time?
No commentary would have been better…..

@@woutergijs5246 hahaha lame - I assume you are still triple masked?
I loath crying children on a long flight. If someone wants to express that it’s not moaning it is just expressing how annoying it is.
Babies are scared and their ears hurt. I remember the first time I flew my ears hurt so bad I screamed out loud and I was about 22 years old just freaking out on it.
Nice video! 👏
It’s a big safety breach not dimming lights when landing and taking off, Qantas becoming a shitty carriers!
Nice video
Flew from LA to Sydney wit
