I fly in the US, Japan and Australian all the time. I can contrast two experiences to show how it *should* and *shouldn't* be. First flight to compare i Spirit Airlines between Austin and Fort Lauderdale. Bad: Took over an hour to get a full aircraft ready for departure. People just too far too long! Bad: Seat belt signs on well after reached altitude Bad: Passengers got up despite seatbelt signs. Crew did nothing. Bad: Expensive for what it was. Poor service. Bad: Pay for everything!!! Even carry on and checked. Second: Qantas - Melbourne to Sydney On this I was surprised. I was walking to gate and got a personal call from Qantas. Despite being completely on-time, the crew was waiting for me. Good: Took 12 minutes to fill entire aircraft Good: Left on time Good: Full service. Free snack. Free alchohol. Good: Australia has 35:1 ratio for flight attendants which meant more crew to do everything. Ran like clockwork. Good: Price was significantly less than Spirit although shorter flight. Better value for money. Good: Price included everything. No extra charges (it's against the law in Australia not to be inclusive of all prices and clear)
Great video Magnus. I heard that Melbourne/Sydney is one of the busiest flight routes in the world, and when you see the frequency of those flights on the departure board you can believe it. I imagine you made your international connection, even with the slow deboarding. Cheers.
Thanks for the amazing video ! I am traveling with a family of 3 (30kg*4 bags). Can you pls tell if we can do the combined luggage checkin at the kiosk or it will take 1 (40kg) at a time ?
