Yeah but you get your own tely - that is sooo important. ;) The food is better. And you get socks and a toothbrush and so on. Qantas doesn't rattle. ;) > (Mid-July MEL-LAX on Qantas prices out to AU $2341 == US $1795. What a > rip-off! > Hopefully late May is a little better :-) ) You get good deals in May even if you book 5 days ahead. I've never paid that! ;) It's expensive as it's good. > BTW, comparing Qantas (long-haul, 747's, movie screens, etc.) with US > Airways > (short-haul, smaller planes, no movie screens, etc.) is sorta apples to > oranges ... > I could say the same about the puddle-jumper I took between Sydney and > Brisbane :-) Even on short flights here they feed you.
