5 things I hate about Qantas: #1

Reason #1: Carry-on weight restriction.

They impose a 7-kg weight restriction on carry-on luggage.

Hello! On a 15-hour flight? Are you kidding me?! Many carry-on roller bags themselves weigh more than 7 kilos! By the way, do I need to mention that the overhead compartment space in their A380 is much larger than in an A330?!

In my humble opinion, many commerical airlines in the United States, which do not have the monopoly as Qantas has, won’t nickle-and-dime their passengers to this kind of extreme!

Frankly speaking, prior to this trip, I really have no idea that passengers in America are truly blessed!

But then, if my geography is correct, there is much more land per person in Australia than in America, which means that space specification, be it personal or luggage, should be more generous with Qantas than with airlines in America. They are the one that fly the largest commercial aircraft anyway. Why would I see the opposite?

Does this sound at least semi-reasonable to persuade Qantas to change their motto to “Not the Spirit of Australia?”

There is also a serious consequence, see “5 things I hate about Qantas : #2“.
