Could not agree more with this! The “cry wolf” phenomenon is unfortunately very common, in my experience particularly in the US and in China but the Iberia example does also not surprise me in the slightest bit. And yes, Qantas is amongst the best in not leaving it on unnecessarily long if...

Me too, also as a curtesy to the crew. Because on many airlines, they have to check whether you’re strapped or not and it’s only fair not to make them fiddle around with your blanket first. And the benefit for myself is that they don’t have to wake me up (though that’s probably going to happen...

Yep- been on lots of these flights, very common in the US. Always wondered whether it’s more than just stupidity, some insurance thing maybe- if you ALWAYS keep the sign on and something happens, no one can sue you for it? Not sure. The only other jurisdiction that seems to like the same thing...

Reminds me why I (almost) always adhere to the seatbelt signs and in the rare cases when it surprises you while on the loo, I rush as much as possible back to the seat to get strapped in. Why do I say "almost" always? Because there are certain cry wolf airlines out there, almost exclusively in...

That's pretty much standard on Qantas for "non mealtime" meals. I totally agree, not good enough and I personally hate the different levels of service at different times. As I've mentioned many times before, different people will be in different mind spaces regardless of time- especially when...

Adelaide- Sydney, late evening flight: I missed proper dinner time by 5 minutes but must admit that at this stage I was well and truly bursting. Choice was the usual soup, salad or “Mediterranean vegetable pizza”. Luckily I had seen a picture of the latter on this always useful thread before as...

Perth-Adelaide early afternoon flight: As always, pizza in the Perth lounge was awesome so I arrived for my flight pre-stuffed already :p Service started with a package of nuts and drink of choice so I treated myself to a lovely Bloody Mary. Very much appreciate this pre-service on the Perth...

Really- no airplane passenger should have to do this, not even in Economy and even less so in Business. Definitely not on any airline that would consider themselves a “quality” carrier.

They do- saw the “cleaning” crew just the other day before my SYD-ADL flight. Had crumbs all over the floor too and some chocolate (I hope it was chocolate and not worse! :oops: 🤢 ) smeared across the table. Some dirt cheap third party outsourced “cleaning” company, of course. So not too...

You just made my Saturday! 😅

Finally a picture- thanks for posting! That seaweed looks like it could be easily left off or, in the worst case, carefully taken off before eating. Will definitely try in a week’s time!

Funnily, broccoli has always been one of my favourites and brussel sprouts can be really tasty if done right. But admittedly, I am a VERY fuzzy adult :p

I never think of that, thank you! I bet that this will be possible, great idea!

I literally don’t know a single person who likes pumpkin, unless hollowed out for Halloween. But I’m glad to hear it has its fanbase!

^^^ And more pumpkin, even on international! :rolleyes:

Haven’t been in the Flounge for breakfast in a while- has anyone had those Japanese sounding “breakfast salads”? It mentions seaweed, just wondering how fishy this might taste? I can’t eat any seafood so even just the taste of seaweed tends be offputting for me. And I hate ordering and then...

Of course it’s dirt cheap. Why else would Qantas spoil absolutely every single meal with this disgusting orange stuff!

Yep, was available in both Sydney J and Qantas Pob in Adelaide yesterday. Not a single half-way clean toilet cubicle in Sydney though for over an hour which is an absolute disgrace.

Adelaide Perth, early afternoon flight: After my pretty average flight from Sydney, this second flight of the day was much better. Three meal choices of which two had seafood/fish in it which I cannot eat so I was left with the lamb stew. As per usual on Qantas, the meat was more akin to old...

Sydney Adelaide mid morning flight: This must be the most disappointing Qantas meal I’ve had in years! Purser was one of those “Dad jokes” kinda guy who thought he was really funny but alas, no humour there at all. Spend about half an hour chit chatting with the bloke in 1C before finally...
