"Island Dining" in the Domestic J lounges: Tips, Timing & Menus

[Kangol]

The juicer has been there for at least 6 months. Not long after Accor took over.

Ah, great. I haven't taken a morning flight from MEL in several months. Hopefully it stays there...

Nice looking pie served in SYD tonight.

 

[medhead]

Yes that pie was rather good. Who were you?

Are you in the lounge? I managed to get on an earlier flight back to MEL and I'm on the plane now.

That pot pie seems to be a common occurrence at the CBR J lounge as well, well, alongside the venerable cheese and mezze plate

I would have been when you posted the picture. But was waiting at the gate for my ADL flight when I posted that reply.

I have had that pot pie in BNE recently.

Is this in response to VA's beef or chicken pies? Quite nice for airline lounge food (the chicken)?

I am yet to see it in SYD J lounge

Mind you have been doing JQ the last few weeks.

No ... This catering is not available to those with only QP access.

There's been both beef and chicken pies. Over the last month or two. My recollection is it pre-dates virgin's recently announced revamp.

Looking forward to the day when Perth gets a J lounge. ( I always live in hope!)

I don't think the QF management appreciates it's Perth customers very much.
I couldn't believe how long was the queue for alcohol in the lounge and then I realised there is no self service at all. Wtf?! Do they think everyone who flys out of Perth is a bogan who can't hold his liquor?

 

[roncritch]

Yes they do think that...could not get 2 drinks one night, one for me and one for my wife...would only serve one and had to go to end of queue. (ranted about this before) sorry OT but the lounge situation here infuriates me!

What I meant was that VA SG & VA WP got the chicken pies, whereas the pot pie was only available to QF WP in the business lounges, not those in the QP.

Was in the Per lounge yesterday for two hours at lunchtime and it was packed and the bar queue was consistently 5 or 6 deep

ADL QP loses out again, nothing out of the ordinary.
No party pies, nothing.
I feel so downtrodden. At least for a weekday, I thoguht that something wow would come out, waited till 13.00, nope, 13.15, nope, 13.30, nope, 13.45, nope.
Tomorrow is my QFi QP in SYD, JQ10, (am a QP and am flying J), so would get to see what lunch servings are weekdays. My last one was a JQ35 weekender.
Lucky you SYD/MEL/BNE lot, QFd QP members...
Kefci2000, no need to worry about the 767 come Dec, its adieu/adios/goodbye to the big bird.
EDIT: ah, you mean a J lounge, not the run of the mill QP!
Ok, noted. No wonder.

 

[serfty]

Basic today in SYD ...

 

[serfty]

5 pm and things change ...

 

[love_the_life]

Poochie, no doubt you have discovered that the J lounge for QFi doesn't really do anything more than what's available domestically in QP. The good stuff in in the Flounge.

That cheese plate looks good Serfty.

FWIW, Adelaide QP had sausage rolls and pasties on Friday at about 4pm.
