Continuing my general rant against the 'cafe breakfast' in international medium haul J.
QF20, MNL-SYD 7 1/2 hrs, breakfast starts 45 mins prior to scheduled arrival. "Cafe breakfast" of a warm ham and cheese croissant, juice, tea/coffee. That's it.
QF 1012, HBA-SYD 1 hour, breakfast starts about 40 mins prior to scheduled arrival. Breakfast of choice of ham, mushroom and cheese crepe OR scrambled egg wrap (ie both hot choices), plus juice, small bowl of cut fruit, small cinnamon scroll, tea/coffee.
I acknowledge there is more pax per crew member on the domestic flight and applaud the thought of giving pax most sleep time on the international one. There may not be time to give pax a choice of hot dishes on the latter, but if they are going to plonk a tray down, they may as well put a couple of things on it besides a filled croissant.
Otherwise it's just cheapness, not time efficiency.
