QF- the system itself is so superior to CX it's not funny, for starters you can actually check loads (staff and pax) whilst you are working out which flight you want and booking same. No stupid ticket machines, no delving into the depths of CX to try and work out if you will get on. Literally can book a flight anywhere, anytime, if you have a smart phone ( including booking just prior to flight closing )
Wait till the CX e-tickets start, you can't get a ticket for a flight if its less than 4 hours till dept. Which idiot in the iJourney dept came up with that

I saw the QF site last week, it's done by people who can think outside the box.

I was checking loads on QF for HKG to BNE, once entered the next page shows my flight at the top and then HKG to SYD to MEL etc, basically every possible city/combination that may be useful plus the next day, about 20 odd flight with all the loads displayed.

Again a common sense practical approach which is sorely lacking in CX.
