We flew with QANTAS (the Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Service). See! It isn’t another word for Koala. We chose QANTAS because of their impeccable safety record. No deaths ever although just before our departure QANTAS airplanes were involved in a near miss and a turbulent flight. Several people were injured in the later.
To be quite frank QANTAS was very disappointing. We flew on a Boeing 747 – may be the Airbus would have been better – which was showing its age. The seat cushions had lost any semblance of padding, the on board flight program only consisted of films and music, no games (Sudoku can wile away the hours) and the system went down on the way to Australia for everybody and for me on the way back. Other than a quick apology I was left on my own.
The Aussie Pass however is unbeatable. For a price several hundred dollars less than Air Canada you also can get three internal flights free.
