Exclamation Qantas anyone?

Two Qantas Jumbos Collide!

Any Aussies or world travellers especially want to say whether they would fly Qantas?

Recently when checking prices for trip to Thailand, the travel agent said I could choose between Qantas, Malaysia or Thai - told her I wasn't interested in Qantas and she didn't seem too surprised.

I see they're now offering 2 for 1 flight deals on certain international routes..... for me, it'd have to be a better enticement than that.
Another headline in today's news ....... two Qantas airliners managed to collide ON THE GROUND!!!!!!! apparently while heading for maintenance hangars! What next? 4 for 1 pretty soon I reckon.

I`ve always been very reluctant to even look at Qantas.It just annoys me that as an Aussie they seem to expect that you will want to fly with them because of the sales pitch(The National Carrier).

In light of recent events you almost couldn`t pay me to fly with them..Give me Thai or Singapore anyday.

Travelled once with Quantas - London to Singapore and never again. Service and standards were very poor.
