Order from the barista first, then turn around and order food from the staff while waiting for your coffee but 1 hour is plenty of time...

Was in there on Friday. order coffee at the centre bar area and as AIRwin said turn around and get something to eat from the attendant. No self service. Only food is really snacks and muffins etc, no real food like the old days. Next to the food attendant is an area, also manned for juices etc, once again no self service. This was at 7.30am so don't know how long this all goes on for. Was offered snacks etc on board in J

Which, on last Thursday took 35 minutes to get through at 7pm, as they only had one of the three lanes open. I was hoping to get to the VA Lounge for 20 minutes or so, but was thwarted by security. It may have been quicker to go up to the Qantas end and walk back through

I’m in the Brisbane VA Lounge now. It’s completely full and can’t even find a seat. Huge queue for coffee with heaps of people standing around waiting, and social distancing seems to have been thrown out the window. I’ve got my coffee takeaway so I can just grab it and leave the lounge. I won’t bother with the food as it’s still the limited mediocre menu. The lounge wifi isn’t working either.
FWIW, it was no better downstairs. Huge crowds waiting to check in, and even the priority queue looked at least 30 minutes long. No social distancing at security. If it weren’t for people wearing masks, you’d be forgiven for forgetting there is a pandemic.

It was much less crowded yesterday afternoon between 1 and 2:30pm.
