Air NZ has more leg room and better food for long haul.

I've got my air miles with them (yeah I know - flying would/could be cheaper if they didn't exist, but nevertheless it's worth the odd upgrade), and I've never had any problems with them. Qantas - well, some of the worst flights I've had anywhere have been with them. Being put in non-smoking, but one row ahead of the smokers, despite our ensuring beforehand twice that our seats would be nearer the front; being told by a stewardess when she asked us about our food and receiving our less than positive response, "Well what do you expect - it's airline food." An elderly friend ended up being very ill on a flight from England-land when they ran out of water! It's still not as bad as Royal Air Maroc (blocked toilets / ham in the vegetarian meal / smoking section on the right-hand side!) or Continental, and I'm sure most of the time they're fine, but just one or two bad experiences can really put you off an airline. I've luckily never had more than the odd glitch with AirNZ. |

Air New Zealand vs. Qantas
I've never flown Qantas so I am bias, but I hated Air New Zealand when we
flew to LA with them. The service was the worst I have ever experienced and the food was only just edible! wendy -- -------------------------------------- șoș Going to WDW December '04 "steve" wrote in message ... james_anatidae wrote: All other things being equal (price, time, route) which would you prefer to fly?

Smoking!!?? Sheesh - ancient history!
Qantas has newer aircraft; better safety record! "Laurie Fleming" wrote in message ...

Last time I flew to LA (via AirNZ) the food was actually great (but the service was crap, as you have said). |

I haven't travelled internationally since the great financial setbacks, but all my prior experience was of superb and friendly service from Air New Zealand, in comparison with terse offhand treatment from the jaded staff in Qantas cabins. |
