Glad it's not just me who had a bad experience, their widebody aircraft are fine but the 737 is horrendous as far as legroom. The food I was served was actually alright but full flight very uncomfortable especially after coming off a red eye from Hong Kong on QF that evening
I flew the QF 737-800 from Christchurch to Sydney last Friday and my experience was a partial disappointment. Food: i enjoyed the dish, the chicken with steamed potatoes, carrots and beans with chilli sauce Entertainment: I was absolutely disappointed about the entertainment. They got rid of the CD library and also movies and TV shows. There was the remote control in every seat and they removed the radio stations. It was disappointing that they axed the radio stations. Wifi: i asked a flight attendant whether I can use the wifi on the 737-800. The flight attendant told me that there was no wifi on the 737-800 intenrational flight. He told me that only domestic 737-800 flights have the wifi. Flight map: i did like the map, and displayed the distance to destination, speed in both KPH and MPH, altitude in Metres, but they could have done much better by adding in imperial system. Flight map looked quite outdated and tired. On the flight from Christchurch to Sydney they played a bio security video on arrival.
Similar route to what I did. Glad to hear the food was better than what I got. That's surprising to hear that they'd only have wifi on the domestic flights.
Any longer than 1hr and these 737s are torture on a full flight. If you have a free middle seat the space is bearable but thats a lottery! Qantas economy on the 787 or a330-300 are superior....avoid the a330- 200 has exactly the same.seats as the 737, Meals are sometimes good sometimes awful like this sector. Safe travels!
I flew Melbourne to Auckland on Qantas in November 2022 and my experience was pretty much the same as yours.
Similar route too

Qantas have lost the art of looking after the passenger rather then going after the money & I'm from Australia
Similar thing with Lufthansa a few years back. But at least LH improved their long-haul massively.

Like most Aussies,we have seen the downfall of this once excellent airline. Just run into the ground for profits for shareholders and executives.

If it’s cheap I use it ! It’s 3.5 hours who cares about the food !
Qantas catering in all classes has become a joke.
@@jocee569 to be fair if they just made better food it would be 5x better than literally any US carrier
