QF2 SIN-SYD 11Mar2024 New menu Main - Coffee Pork Ribs Originally selected fish but FA currently recommends against (hard/rubbery). Was pointed to pork ribs, and chose them instead. Meat was an appropriate level of softness and delicious, definitely agree with recommendation Torta di...

Yes, pretty much because of winds. On Friday, the jetstream cut through Armidale/Coffs Harbour bringing 155-165kt winds from WSW for FL300 upwards. This translates to a 90+kt headwind on something like BNE-SYD at those levels. By comparison, the FL240 winds were much weaker at 250/47.

Sunday night QFA82, very similar offering to before Breakfast cards are back Before main arriving Dumpling noodle main. Now comes with chopsticks Pandan and kaya sponge Breakfast, now with tablecloth

The old F Lounge noodles were good indeed - pic from August 2022 The new in-flight version was different - red sauce instead of coughin. Flavour wasn't bad, but it definitely needed more sauce. Hopefully that was just a Day 1 thing
