Yep, sure was !
At the point of travel, I had not experienced the upgraded version, however, QPJ was tired and in need of a refit - service and meals were exceptional (brilliant team that delivered outstanding service across the board), however, IFE was appalling (needed to be reset about 7 times during the course of the flight) and general appearance was tawdry (seats marked and very scuffed, grotty - but clean - toilets and dodgy tray tables). Return to Oz flight was QF42 from Jakarta and was excited to get a refurbished -200 (EBJ). Sadly, having preceded that flight with several on Emirates A380/B777, the experience of the 330-200 was a real let-down. Cabin looks and feels great, however, the IFE (iPad) was dismal (of our group of 4, we needed to reset no less than 4 times each, we used 7 units across the flight and even then, were not able to access the desired programs). Despite the fact the seat-back seems suited to a larger unit, the provided version was minute and not particularly conducive to easy viewing. The saving grace was the crew who were exceptional (again) at servicing a pretty full flight. That said, the provided meals were an odd selection and they were delivered via a very small tray that was stacked high rather than one which could easily accommodate food and drinks. Overall, I can honestly say service of both flights was of the highest order (better than Emirates), however, this was not even closely matched by the fit-out of either the tired QPJ nor the refurbished EBJ. Would like to see QF take some tips from EK on IFE and cabin layout. |

Glad to hear that at least the service/food made up for poor onboard product Garry!
Too true about those iPads they are a bit annoying especially when you're seated at an exit row seat with no where to put it but on your tray table or inevitably hold it...(First World Problems ![]() Hopefully once EBM/N/O/P/Q/R and also the remaining 300's are refurbished we'll see less domestically configured aircraft operating SIN/CGK runs and that should improve the product consistency onboard the A330's Cheers. |
