Good afternoon.
Having recently travelled to Persian gulf with EK& QR , so impressed with meals, service and metal cutlery.I have given QF the brush off. Also recently flew QF to HKG. All aspects disgraceful. Only use QF for points on One World Carriers etc.

Have to travel to MCT . As Oman Air are one world now, thought I would use them. Frequency from SiN or HKT not good. So on their site could travel via KUL or BKK . I refuse to travel on airlines with a wooden or plastic cutlery in Y . They only on my fav airlines give metal . It only takes cleaning. On QR and EK It is like travelling business class on QF ( re service and etc).

I called MH and was told to call airport MEL. Then advised only plastic., so say no more. I am travelling to MCT, DOH,and DXB. So will go via BKK TO MCT, then DOH with WY. Sep tkt to DXB Air Arabia. Then back via MCT to BKK and then to MEL.

As you know changing carriers makes the fare so high.
My Question is can anyone think of a better way ??. Now WY is a one world carrier it helps though TG is not. But that is what WY offers . Would prefer EK or QR. but means backtracking. This makes the fare very expensive and long. Although a frequent traveller, I unfortunately cannot afford the most flexible fares.

Many thanks.

I am tired of being classed as a second class citizen, but only want what we used to have, flexible fares with interlining. Also cannot find if WY use metal cutlery in Y. Prob not as fares much cheaper, but that is not the problem!.
Many thanks.

I know it isn't the main topic of your post, but I'd be interested to know what went wrong here?

But that is the problem, isnt' it? i.e. if WY don't use metal cutlery in Y, then you're not going to fly them as...

Correct, I'll pay extra.
Genuine question -: Does there come a point (e.g. ticket is 10/20/50% more expensive) when you would not be prepared to pay extra in order to get metal cutlery? Or is it a case of "damn the price, it's metal or it's no deal"?

I admit that whilst I do prefer metal cutlery over plastic/bamboo, it's not really the primary driver in my decision making process if I'm looking to book a seat in Y. But that's just me.

Thank you.
I do not expect as you say ,bamboo or plastic on a full service carrier. Have seen the decline of service. EK or QR is a breath of fresh air. Thanks.

Oman Air WY are not yet a OW member. Will be 2025 (or 2026?)
But are now a ff partner of Qantas.

In my view many airlines wooden or plastic cutlery in Y (medium long haul). Few have metal.
