I would expect the Austrian team to fly on a foreign airline, Andrew, but I would expect the Australian team to fly on an Australian airline!

Default Scruffy aircraft
I was surprised how scruffy the 747 looked.

Imagine your wedding day and the hire car turned up unwashed.

Poor effort Qantas!

Australians no, but the gutter press (aka Daily Telegraph) yes, and politicians follow what happens in the gutter press

Well it is the whole olympic team (ie 500+ people), whereas the cricket team is all of...maybe...30? 40?

Plus most of the destinations the cricketers go to aren't served by QF so a charter is uneconomical, but EK flies to loads of destinations, esp. Sth Africa, India.

I'm still trying to work out why they, or indeed anyone, would give a toss as to who the Austrians fly with.
