I'm not suprised. Frequent flyer EU <-> Asia here, mostly using gulf companies (cattle class). I once flew Qantas via Heathrow and this was a really poor experience: worn-out 747 with very visible maintenance issues inside the cabin, seat pitch felt really small, terrible IFE (screens so tiny that no one over 40 can watch a movie) and the food was plain awful. Cabin crew really seemed to be hiding away from us passengers most of the time. Qantas might have the greatest pilots, I think they've handled the very serious A380 incident really well, but the rest is not up to par. I won't fly them again.
