[Ade]

They are available in J on all sectors.

This. I was not able to do on a few of my J flights ... kept getting a note that VGML is not available of QFxx_

I guess I will check it next time

The chicken curry has been on high rotation of late along with the sausage roll. New addition: a thousand dollar+ chicken pie (didn’t take a photo).

The chicken pie isn't a new addition... perhaps it's been off the trolley for a few weeks? I had the $1900 version early last month.

Qantas Domestic & International Business Class meals/menus

Braised beef brisket with the corn cakes and a mango salsa. 17:30 CBR-BNE.
I quite enjoyed it. Beef was tender and tasty. Salsa tasty (though I’d prefer it cold). Corn cakes were disappointing and had clearly been in the oven too long.
Quick service. Wine top ups offered right through to descent.

With apologies for the cutoff picture — lamb moussaka with green vegetables. BNE - CNS 19:50.

Moussaka is a favourite for me. And I’ve been lucky to have and make some really great dishes. Not surprisingly this one couldn’t stack up. But objectively as an airline meal it was pretty good. Generous serve and quite tasty.

Other option was a quinoa and egg salad.

Service initially was great. Quick and proactive with top ups.

Overall fine, but halfway through the flight the CSM sat down and didn’t see him until descent. Lazy, chatty crew. Requests met with rolling eyes or sighs. Probably says it all that one of the pilots brought out their own meal trays near the end of the cruise.

Won’t name here, but will give feedback for what it’s worth.

Didn't know where to ask, hopefully here is ok.

Does Qantas still serve spirits in Business Class (Transcon if that makes a difference), or only beer and wine? Ta

Gosh, it’s been so long since I ordered a gin and tonic, I’m glad you asked.

A few weeks ago they were only serving beer and wine. I haven't heard that this has changed.

No spirits on my recent flights.

No spirits on my recent flights.

No spirits on trans-Tasman either. Didn't even get a welcome drink on my last two flights which really was a loss imo. But then on the flight itself at least, ample wine and proper French Champagne was served.

Same. Hopefully later in the year they can give me a G+T in the air again.

Thanks guys. That's a shame, hopefully they come back soon.

I doubt that sorry. Aviation is in big trouble without a bailout now.

Didn't I read somewhere that Qantas in particular got plenty of bailout already...?

IMO it really is time to let insolvency laws govern the outcome at Qantas - i tend to think there is too much rot, and resistance to change, and it could all be cleared out, with a good old spring clean up in bankruptcy.

 

[JessicaTam]

Ahem, back to the topic please.

Speaking of which, the excuse I was given for no spirits was too many touch points. The CSM didn't believe it either!

Any hint as to which champagne that is? I’ve booked SYD-ZQN for February next year so am somewhat interested.

Still the same it was pre Coivd- either Jacquart Brut Mosaique or Duval-Leroy. I personally prefer the latter but they're both fine.

Is 11am - 1.30pm still the correct departure window for lunchtime catering on domestic flights? Considering changing a booking to 11am and don't want to wind up with the dreaded snack...

I got lunch at 9am when I last flew (admittedly back in late July, so things may have changed). That was Cairns to Brisbane.
