Qantas is now one of the top airlines in the world, only have to "drag" the lounge in LAX up to standard.
Would fly Qantas again after this experience but it would be interesting to see the level of service in economy on a longer fuller flight.
I'm glad that Qantas are now offering fruit (and for "fruit" read "apples") as well as their snack packs during the middle of the flight (I take the water from the snack pack and give the rest back - it's all sugar, carbs, and fat).

 Qantas Airways Business Class Skybed review part 1
Qantas was the first airline to develop a business class cabin, and since that time have regularly upgraded their business class product.
Qantas crew generally are very generous with the fine range of wines, beers, spirits and liqueurs they carry, being quick to refill half empty glasses, and pouring large measures.
An occasional Qantas failing on their long night flights is to set the cabin temperature too high - indeed, when I used to fly Qantas regularly I got to the point of traveling with a digital temperature probe so I could argue knowledgeably with the flight crew about the cabin temperature.

 Review On Qantas Airways by Nealxs - MouthShut.com
But Qantas still have a projector hanging from the roof for the middle row of people, or a tiny little TV at the end of each side for those either side of the plane.
For such long flights Qantas need to modernise and give as much comfort as is physically possible to their passengers.
British Airways have set the standard, I wouldn’t fly with Qantas again until they get to at least that level and then dropped the price more than BA and then I’d have to think twice about it.

 Qantas Case Study - Ogilvy PR
In early 2002, actor and licensed jet pilot John Travolta approached Qantas Airways about a possible relationship in light of his longstanding, genuine, specific interest in the airline.
After deciding that Travolta could serve as an "ambassador-at-large" for the airline, his role was developed to assist Qantas on a range of employee and brand-building initiatives, the first being a global tour to encourage people to cross borders, rekindle friendships and make new friends.
Since we felt that Qantas on its own would only draw a specific type of media such as aviation and business publications, we used John Travolta and the relationship between him and Qantas as the enticement to entertainment and international press as well as wire services and major market newspapers.

 Qantas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Qantas (pronounced [kwɒntəs]) is the name and callsign of the world's third oldest continuously running independent airline behind KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Avianca.
Qantas has aggressively stepped up the expansion of Jetstar, with the launch of international services (in addition to existing trans tasman and Jetstar Asia flights) to leisure destinations such as Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan and Hawaii in late 2006, beating rival Virgin Blue who for some time has been considering expanding its operations.
Qantas' record of having no crashes in the jet era was spotless until Boeing 747-400 VH-OJH, carrying 407 passengers and crew, over-ran the runway by 220 metres, ending up in a golf course, while landing in a rainstorm at Bangkok on 23 September 1999.
