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?

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. |

I have had good and bad experiences on both Qantas and Air NZ. Most of my recent experience is with Air NZ (airpoints...) What I have noticed is that the planes don't seem as clean as they once were, and the audio visual equipment is getting a bit long in the tooth. We travelled to Melbourne at Christmas time, and my wife couldn't use the headphones provided in her seat - the jack was cactus. Still, she didn't really care - she just wanted to sleep all of the way over. Cheers, Brenton |

My experience is that Qantas is a fine airline in the air, but prior to flight, it could stand some improvements. Air NZ seems to have fine ground service as well as great on-board service and excellent food. However, service levels vary from route to route, so one's experience on route A may not be fully representative of what you'll get on route B. Someone made a comment about smoking. Haven't both banned smoking system-wide a long long time ago or do they still have routes that allow smokers ? |

Up to 9/11 and the Brierley's mess, I'd agree with you. But after the airline nearly went bust, I did notice a change in the service. On two trips to Asia - Business Class - the service was fairly ho-hum compared to what I had gotten used to. I haven't been on a trip for a while now as I have been dodging them. With all the post 9/11 carry-on, the whole things has just become too much hassle to bother with....and more expensive with it. I'm looking at a trip to the UK and Canada for 3 people....and the airport security charges are over NZ$1,000 altogether. |

Last time I flew to North America, the whole thing was in a mess after Brierley's had run the airline into the ground.....and forced the Government to take it over. |
