Dear AFF'ers,
Unsure if this is posted elsewhere. I searched the forum but couldn't find any references.
According to this "news" news article, QF is introducing a few changes (it's a gradual roll-out) on how things will be once intl travel opens up on Monday (01/11)
www.news.com.au
Some of the key points are :
1. The crew will say "Welcome to country"
2. Plant-based on-board meals - Whooo, Whooo!!
By mid-November, Qantas hopes to have its new menu in place, with one little tweak.
“One of the things we’ve been spending a lot of time talking to customers about over the last few years … and we’ve listened to what they have to say … so we are introducing plant-based options for the first time for all customers in all cabins,” Ms Tully said.
Examples of the plant-based menu include celeriac gratin with roast fennel, peas, mushroom and onion sauce and a ratatouille pasta bake with a herb crumb, cauliflower and green beans.
3. Australian ice creams will be added to the in-flight menu. I thought this was already there ? I remember Maggie Beer ice cream, popsicles without the stick, etc?
4. Movie Service - cabin crew offering snacks ? I thought they already did this. It was more when we paged and asked for a snack, now it's like they'll be around with a snack or two and you can ask if you feel like.
Due to Covid, Qantas has had to ditch the snack bar but is instead offering a new “movie service”.
“It’s one great example of our team pivoting with the times … so we’ll be roaming the economy cabin constantly with snacks and drinks, so it’s almost like a roaming movie service,” Ms Tully said.
I, for one, am excited to try their plant-based menu. So I'm excited for that. Sad to see the economy snack bar go - I used to grab a museli bar or two from the A380's upper deck, back galley.

New Qantas feature to change the way you fly
Qantas is gearing up for takeoff on Monday, when the long-hated international border ban is finally thrown out.
