Qantas Business Class meals & menus

[QF WP]

QF621 BNE/MEL Sun 18/2 12:55pm

Seated in 2A and we were offered still or sparkling water before take-off

Two choices for lunch - either Thai Green chicken curry OR pumpkin soup.

As I’d had pumpkin soup in the Business Lounge, chose the curry. Mild heat and went well with the Merlot (Dandelion was the white). Would have rather had dark choc bar, only ate 4 pieces.

Nice service but nothing outstanding

The salad was the standard fare - but no vinigaret this time so just dry leaves.
No IFE or Q-Streaming for the entire flight. 1h 15 minutes after takeoff to get a glass of water and a glass of wine - I guess that’s only 15 minutes more than usual.....

Ah just imagine the joy of 17 hr+ flights on these wonderful 787s! Obviously Alan is correct there needs to be a tax cut for business such as QF so they can afford food for customers.

QF798 BNE-CNS 19/2 7:10am departure

Offered apple juice or water pre departure
Choices or non toasted museli or poached eggs with smoked salmon and kale.

Eggs got overcooked in the oven, unless they were intended to be hard inside!

Yep. Nothing in this or 787 review thread has changed my decision not to fly the 787 to London. My next LHR trip is QF35/QF1 combo. A380 (in F).

QF salad....really

 

[kermatu]

Looks like a Neil Perry masterpiece to me.

 

[Boca68]

QF salad....really

Probably cost you $25 at Rockpool for that

 

[Saltywings]

QF salad....really

That looks literally no better than if they just emptied out a Coles/Woolies leaf mix, dressing not included.

At least there aren't any hidden spiders.

 

[kermatu]

The dressing is there. But even though I have zero expectations of these 'salads' that looks a particularly disgraceful serve.

Even worse though are the chopped salads that are small or 'dinner' serves on some of the shorter routes (as some of us have posted upthread). These really feel like the offcut salad leftovers from the day before.

QF and NP should actually be ashamed to have these as business class offerings in their names.

Sadly, they clearly aren't.

QF650 PER-BNE 9 Mar dep 0700

Back on the usual early morning 738 conveyance to BNE. Nice flight in 1C with a very welcome shadow. Good service from CSM Michael and FAs Jodie and Karen.

Apple juice or water pre take off.




Had the egg white omelette which was surprisingly good - low(er) calories also which was a bonus as have a decent dinner at Moo Moo planned tonight. Washed down with the passable GB sparkling - something which at least gives a faint hint of imitating Champagne, unlike the Drives dishwater they have served in the J lounge for what must be the last 3 years.


First flight with functional WiFi, and against all expectations was very good - no dropouts and a workable speed - was even able to stream a movie. The new flight view feature very nice also. Major kudos to QF on this addition.

 

[amaroo]

BNE-TSV ... also had the white omelette, pretty tasty.

QF597 BNE PER 10 March dep 1720

Very relaxing flight home on the 738, back in 1C and again with a shadow. Good service from CSM Tara and FA Vanessa.

Maggie’s red or water offered pre take off



Pre dinner bar service offered




Appetizer salad surprisingly good, with generous ratios of prosciutto and Gorgonzola



Main of lamb exceeded expectations , medium by medium well with some decent cuts - hopefully this is a sign of things to come in J this year.

Washed down with a Woodlands Margaret River cab merlot - certainly not Cullen’s or Moss Wood, but very drinkable nonetheless.


Maggie”s ice cream for dessert with a nice Glenrowan muscat.



White chocolate and lime Lindt balls before descent.


All in all a great flight home after a heavy day in BNE.
