I flew with them from Melbourne last May and they were crap. Mind you I'm going with them again this year cos we booked with friends and its a group thing and they wanted to fly AA blah blah blah! Lets just say I'll be flying with AP next year. Aside from the lack of courtesy and service amongst the flight attendants, the flight itself was very smooth and comfy..........on the way there. We had the Qantas red tail jet on the way there and the orange AA plane on the way back. Landing back in Melbourne reminded me of Barbies camper-van in a smash cos there was crap going every where.
I'll give you the heads up and this is after you've had your over head light thingy on for half an hour...............
"You've had enough to drink Maam" Yeah right - not even broken the seal yet!
"You'll have to wait if you want a coffee" - I thought I said Gin
"No we don't have a spare blanket" - cos thats such a huge request
"Spare headsets, doesn't seem to be, sorry" - they prefer me to get bored and have a need to get drunk just so they can knock me back.
The AA stands for Alcoholics Annonymous, well it felt like I was in attendance anyway.
