Taken October 2005 from London, England (Heathrow Airport) - LHR to Sydney, New South Wales (Kingsford Smith) - SYD

Very old aircraft on London Bahrain leg with a panic ridden transfer in 40 minutes to the Sydney flight. Food on London Bahrain leg poor and cabin crew unhelpful and surly.

Allowed off in Singapore and told to take passport (no mention of boarding card) one crew member said 10 minutes another said 20 minutes for a walk around after suffering fairly cramped seating for 7 hours.

Problems with re-boarding as ground crew insisted on seeing boarding card and almost all pax did not have one.

Bahrain Singapore fight was full and service was poor (you could have thought that the cabin crew had paid for the drinks out of their own pocket!!)

Singapore Sydney leg also on a full plane and the service was no better. Food was again poor and if I ever get to see another blueberry muffin (containing a max of two blueberries) it could well be inserted in a cabin crew member.
