All EAA flights are now operated as QantasLink, therefore you get all the perks of a big airline! You can seamlessly connect to wherever in the world that Qantas flies to the regional destinations served by QantasLink. Overall, a very enjoyable experience! Plane was Bombardier Q400, and brand new (QF are upgrading whole regional fleet). Seat 3A, the crew were very friendly and will do anything to help. A one and a half hour flight, food and drinks were served (complimentary on QF), then drinks were served again. There was an elderly lady sitting next to me, who had a near asthma attack, but the crew had it under control, to her aid in seconds, without needing to be asked, and handled the situation very professionally. The flight was from Melbourne to Devonport and ou plane arrived in Melbourne early, and took off 7 minutes ahead of schedule landing 11 minutes early. Overall A++, nothing i could criticise at all, the only competition on that particular route is Rex, and they could take a lesson.
