Qantas First Class Suite: NOT Worth $22,000 rt!

I recently reviewed Qantas First Class Suite on A380 from Melbourne to LAX. Qantas charges up to $22,000 for this product roundtrip for transpacific routes like SYD-LAX. Overall, while the staff was delightful, the hard product is not competitive with other FC products that serve Australia like Emirates and Singapore. And it’s only marginally nicer than Qantas’ updated business. If you’re flying Qantas, I recommend sticking with Qantas business class, which is more recently renovated and a much better value.

OMG...I SO agree with you...I flew A380-Seat 1A several years space had crumbs on the floor when I got to my seat; the overhead lamp was cracked and emitted a florescent light (ugh!)....IE screen was small and since it was so far from seat, I had to use my glasses to view; IE options were limited; I tried their Mac and Cheese and it was disgusting - took one bite and left it; staff was overall nice except for one flight attendant who felt that I had asked for her firstborn when I requested my seat to be made for sleeping. When I boarded the plane, I was pointed to my seat - not escorted. Such a bad experience that I wrote email to CEO and they responded by saying that their planes are in the process of being what I wanted/needed to hear after spending thousands for the experience.

Next time I flew to Melbourne, I flew on Singapore Business Class which is MILES above-and-beyond Qantas First Class. Then I tried Qatar Q Suites another time and Qatar will have my business from now all the way!!!

Surely if you are going First Class you would check out the various airlines and prices before booking. Middle East airlines and Singapore are generally known to have a better hard product than Qantas. So if you want a caviar service fly Emirates. The fact Qantas are charging $22, 000 indicates that they have demand at that price, so why would they charge less. Travellers have the choice.

Would rather go on Emirates or Singapore business, than Qantas first class!

2:35 - That's a First Class amenity kit? What a joke!

(That horrible muzak really sucks, by the way).

Qantas is the only airline that has first class on their direct flight between Australia and North America.

The most overhyped business class product out there 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Qantas first class is not competitive for a world class airline it is disgusting and overpriced I will sty with Singapore Airlines thank you.

I’d pay extra for the service differential. Qantas is genuine. Emirates crews reek of arrogance and SQ is just such a stale, almost artificial, experience. Once you’re laying flat and asleep, who really cares.. At the end of the day it’s the crew interaction that matters the most when pricing whether something is worth your money and time.
