Oh god no- why did you have to say that, I will have nightmares of PUMPKIN BREAD now! :eek:o_O

Fair enough, the Pepe Saya is a favourite of mine as well. It just gets boring to always get the same kind of sauerdough bread.

Some are bad, that’s true, especially on SQ they aren’t the best. NZ does a really good one, unless they leave it in the oven too long. Had tasty ones on Middle Eastern airlines in the past as well. Key is, have some variety. Garlic bread, some white buns, something crunchy with lots of grain...

Garlic bread please- so many airlines do this and just the smell usually makes me salivate in anticipation! 😛

Not that I’m aware of, no. I thought exactly the same- hope this is not the “new standard” :rolleyes:

The Lallier is hands down a way better champagne than coughpy Piper-Heidsick (or Mumm, for that matter). We must agree to disagree on that one I’m afraid.

This is just disgusting. Utterly disgusting.

Maybe it’s a security thing that they’re not talking about publicly? I always wonder how they take away water bottles but anyone can just take knives from the lounge (or glass shards and more) straight onto an airplane without any further checks (unless in an airport like Singapore with the...

Ha- I have the same, just that I used to work at Meccas. It brings me to tears when they don’t close the bags according to “standards” as McDonald’s calls it or they mess up a standard burger.

There’s always delays with these things but good to see that Qantas is still intent to go ahead with this. And at least they are Airbus so maybe not quite as lengthy delays than had they selected the 777X

Oh, it was a choice of pumpkin soup or pumpkin with the steak, I see. Actually surprised to not see some dried out chunks of pumpkin with the scrambled eggs there :rolleyes:

Oh you are cheeky @RichardMEL 😅

Oh yes, pork over anything else. Maybe duck comes close but beef for me is only a distant third (but still can be absolutely amazing!) But then, I’m German-born so who’s surprised… Mhm, pork… :p

A bit surprised that the Hyatt Place hasn’t been mentioned in the original article. It’s our hotel of choice when overnighting in Melbourne between flights. Usually reasonably priced, good (typical ex-US Hyatt Place quality) and distance, by car of course, is good enough. Plus, one of the rare...

Catering on the trans-Tasman has been woefully inadequate since they’ve swapped away from “proper” international service post Covid. And you probably were on a 737 also which is a way inferior seat to the frequent A330s runs which used to be offered on the route and JetConnect staff which tend...

Not surprised at all- as with many things, you need enough qualified staff for it to work. But of course, that is expensive which is precisely why it will never work out in the long run at our beloved Qantas ;)

Ah, don’t you worry- Qantas won’t be able/willing to police the new boarding policy anyway so nothing to worry about :p

And they also tend to know how to board and where to find their seat. The ones REALLY holding up things are those people who stare at Row 1 or 2 wondering whether that might be their row 28 seats… :rolleyes:

Totally. And of course then there will be the typical drama people who somehow think the boarding group on the boarding pass is incorrect or only half the group has it right and whatever else. So you can’t even blame staff to very quickly find out how to “overrride”. It always amazes me, on...

As much as I like eating curries on airplanes as they’re usually quite good when heated up in the galley, I must say they always look like… Well, like they have been eaten once before 🤢
