So is that on all Perth/East Coast flights or just those operated by A330's as the linked article seems to infer.
Personally I like the idea, but think it is a tad strange and confusing to the passengers to do this on one set of routes but not every route. |

Indeed there are different levels of service on Qantas and every other airline for that matter. However the issue I have with this is on one Virgin flight you pay for drinks/meal etc but on the next the same thing is totaly free.

I agree with what you're saying Ash. But for example, I'd get a free beer on an ADL-PER QF CityFlyer flight, but would pay for the same beer on an ADL-ASP QF flight. And depending on the time of day, you'd pay for a beer on some CityFlyer flights and not others.

Not just time of day but also day of week and type of aircraft. For example get on QF8 BNE-SYD and you will get a different service than a flight leaving from the domestic terminal.
DJ already have different service levels with Skywest and Canberra flights and I seem to recall SYD-MEL flights also offering a free wine or beer in the evenings. It is confusing but why not adjust the service for different markets? |

In 2002-3 we moved to offering domestic standard meals/refreshments on the domestic legs of international flights. That is the policy - I am not sure why QF8 would be different.

Ok, I am going to ask...
How many people here fly purely because they are starving and need a free feed?? ![]() I wonder if anyone believes they will keel over if they don't eat or drink for four hours on a flight? LOL ![]() The mentality of the human race is really interesting not to mention greedy. I am guilty and like to eat but could go without lol. |

I'm with you Steve! It's a perception thing. One day 'Joe Public' will wake up to the fact that "adding food and a checked bag to the fare" on DJ will normally still come out equivalent to a QF fare, in many cases cheaper. Not that I'll hold my breath waiting!
