thats bullshit. They paid for that expensive ass first class seat and deserve ever bit of the luxuries that is suppose to come with it. And then to be ridicule like that. That is not professional.

^ LOL :suspicious:

Just give them 2 pairs of extra small. Its their own fault for being fat.
Stupid fat people... always unintentionally raising flight prices. :troll:

I personally think Qantas is at fault. It doesn't matter whether they were revenue customer or not, one has to spend some serious dough before getting a first class ticket.

It shows the lack of professionalism of Qantas. For true top-tier airlines like Emirates, they always make sure first class passengers have every bit of attention to detail. I.E.: They make sure that everything on their menu is available for their first class passenger. So, one never has to make do with other selection if the person is flying first class on Emirates.

I wouldn't care much.... is just PJs beside I think is weird wearing some other PJs... I rather wear my own lol... If on long flight I would just put on a comfy T-shirt and a pair of shorts/sweat pants.

+1.

If you look at it from the consumer's point of view it really is unfair because you paid for all of your extra stuff and they just say they dont have it.

some people fly it for fun like a mini vacation and so they expect all the amenities to be available. this shows how qantas unprofessionally treats their clients and this incident no doubt will hurt business for them.

some people wonder what they will eat for the day and some choose to complain about pajamas

^^All people being born "equal" is a flawed concept to begin with.

unfortunately some are more equal than others...

:haha:

Read:

Another passenger told Ceberano the pyjama guy said to the crew: "Make sure you tell everyone why were so late: They didn't have pyjamas for us'."

They paid for that flight, they have every right to complain just like you would if you paid for something even if it was only a dollar.

Airlines know First Class passengers are their most demanding customers. Not having a proper size is a misstep on their part. However, the passengers decided to act like royalty and ended up making a fool of themselves.

Both are in the wrong, IMO.

Can someone give me the prices on a first class flight with either airline on a comparable route? How much "extra" are you paying for?

It's hard to compare as these two airlines operate routes that's quite different from each other. And not every route offer first class....

IIRC There has been recent rumours about Qantas wanting to alliance with Emirates lately. Allowing Qantas to codeshare to Dubai....and Emirates to European / Mid East destinations...


Sydney to Bangkok (Tax included)

Qantas: $921.44 AUD Economy / $5462 AUD Business
Emirates: $1078.24 AUD Economy / $4194 AUD Business / $6444 AUD first class

As much as these two passenger are idiots, and for all you who know fuk all about air travel.

Business class return LA>Melbourne is about $7000

First class return LA>Melbourne is about $13000

Bullsh!t service by Quantas, and expected reaction from the folks in cattle class.

To put it in car context, its like buying a Ferrari, and having the dealer tell you 'Sorry we just gave away our last set of Ferrari luggage to the guy before you, how about a Samsonite carry-on?'

I am sure all the people buying a civic would laugh at the Ferrari guy who demanded he be given the original luggage too.

If I paid 13,000 for a flight (10x what most people are paying), and then got told my Akira Isogawa designed PJ's were not available, I would demand an immediate serving of four lobster tails and 2 bottles of dom to ease the pain.

Delaying (potentially) 400 peoples itineraries on the other hand; not cool.

I understand where their frustration may come from, but seeing that there's nothing Quantas can do at that very moment, couldn't they just go with the business class pj, and request a set to be sent to their residence by mail at a later date? I'm sure not having the pj's for that one particular flight won't be crucial enough to delay 400 others

Yes they are at fault, but those people are still cunts.

If an airline fucks up and doesn't have pyjamas for rich people, OK that's a bad mark for them. Oops, bad service for 2 customers.

But those people are just cunts, and that's that.

You don't pay upwards of $10K for a seat to have anything less than impeccable service.

Qantas dealt with it poorly.

Airline should have thrown a bunch of gifts to appease the passengers. Starting with a tin of caviar, a bottle of champagne, and a bunch of frequent flier points.

If all you can offer is business class pjs with nothing else to compensate, that is a poorly negotiated solution, and I can understand why the PAX stormed off in protest.

Qantas ended up spending a whole lot more than that for the extra fuel they had to burn to make up for the late departure.

I'm sure Singapore Airlines, Cathay, or Emirates would be pleased to have their business.

^
I agree on the basis if they were the only two passengers.

They were aware that their actions would result in the delay of departure of hundreds of passengers, I would probably just file a complaint prior or after the flight.

I don't disagree. They handled it poorly. But they don't come across nearly as bad as the passengers themselves. OK so Quantas fucked up, and don't have PJ's. And they didn't give you caviar and other stupid shit. Move on with your life and fly with another airline next time.

Except that's the difference between normal people and cunts.
