I dont know about the HKG saga...but i will tell you what i know...
QF....MEL-LHR for 2 Pax = $3991 (Y class sale price)
Jet Airways (
NO not Jet Star...Jet Airways...9W)
(stop=stopover at MY request so i can see the sites for a few days (each)
MEL-SIN (stop)-BOM (stop)-LHR(stop)-PRG(stop)-BRU-DEL(stop)-SIN(stop)-MEL....2 PAX...$3772...(Y class advance purchase price)
Talk about bang for your buck....And the MEL-SIN and SIN-MEL flights are on a QF aircraft....the LHR-PRG on ezyjet...and PRG-BRU on brussels airlines...
And you get an extra inch of legroom in Y class on 9W than QF...better food, and trolley dollies that actually give a stuff about you...
Last trip i did (SIN-DEL) (stupidly paid double as i bought a QF codeshare ticket) with 9W i got a 1/4 chicken & chips, Vegies, with a salad and bread and butter pudding covered in solid golden syrup for desert...washed down with enough scotch to hurt me....
So you should be asking....Why would you even consider flying QF on a clapped out 400...squeezed in like cattle...treated like cattle...and fed a selection of restaurant inspired...ummm...stuff....
