New Qantas route - Perth to Paris from July 2024

[Lynda2475]

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. Didn't mean to compare food offering from PE/Y+ to J, our food in PE/Y+ on the journey to Paris was OK., the return was completely different (and not in a positive way)

With QFi I lmost always find the meals outbound are better than the meals on the return flight.

I very rarely fly QFi but I’ve often found the food ex CGK is pretty decent but obviously I don’t have many other QF routes to compare it against

This was my first QFi to Europe, all my previous (pre covid) QFi was HKIA, MNL, BKK and SIN where I don't recall such a gap in meal quality. (and as a regular user of the Q lounge at HKIA my expectations for Paris may have been unrealistic )

FWIW, there's no harm in sending through some feedback to Qantas about this. I mean... I don't really expect they'll do for you about it, but they can't begin to consider addressing issues about which they're unaware.

They are aware - and have placed 10k points in my account as a "compliments of customer contact". The way it was dealt with in the air and subsequently suggests issues with the entertainment system are not uncommon. Crew let me know 6 in PE and 9 in Y were facing the same issue on this flight. As @Lynda2475 has suggested, take a book or tablet loaded with some other form in entertainment if you plan to embark on this trip.

Well that's something at least.

Yeah a one way flight from Syd - Melb (which you can buy for $179)

Actually that's a good way to look at it. Does make it seem like a half decent compensatory gesture.

Yes
Doesn’t help so much if you reside in Perth where a one way flight to ADL Mel Syd or Bris requires 18,000
that’s the compensation they ought provide
(Which has also made me ponder the best use of points for reward tics given then 8,000, 12,000 and 18,000 redemption bands for CR Y)
