Qantas Business Class meals & menus

[Daver6]

Righto, as lovely CSM Fiona collected my plate I mentioned how sad it was having no cheese. She said she thinks its return is imminent.

Well, lo and behold she just rocked up with something that I think must have been her own.

And the Peos cab sav continues to shine. A lovely lean, light textured style that’s not overtly fruity. I was surprised to see it at 14.5% ABV. Great with cheese. (And a great thing to nurse mask-off on the 5h+ ride to PER. )

I’ve driven past their vineyard many times during work and watched them transition into wine production from being potato and vege growers (which they still may do).

I asked Fiona to give my cake, choccy and Maggie Beer ice cream to a kid or kids down the back. Done.

Almost happy days…

Notice how they don't trust you to hold the bottle yourself for a photo

The lovely Fiona was only too happy to hold it for me…

Things are showing tentative signs of normalising.

QF945 BNE-PER right now. A pre-dinner drink (in a non-thimble glass ) and pretzel/almond pack (but as usual, mostly pretzels ). Peos Four Kings Cab Sav (Manjimup WA) - very respectable.

Meal choices: beef black bean thingy, barramundi thingy and some sort of salad.

But where’s the cheese? Some sort of sickly cake in a box and yet another one of those ghastly sickly sweet Lindt chocs . Pass…

Is it just that pretzels are so cheap that the almond/pretzel pack contains so many pretzels or am I missing something?
On my recent flight DRW-BNE , the FA noticed I was busily picking the almonds out of the pack - she commented that I wasn't the only pax doing it!

QF459 SYD-MEL 25MAY22 1530 dep

Leek & brie tart with mashed peas and caramelised onion relish, the other option was the prosciutto & corn salad


The quiche-like filling made the tart crust quite soggy, but it was a decent portion and quite tasty. Would order again over the prosciutto & corn salad.

The red was The Lane Shiraz 2020 and the white was Gaelic Cemetary Riesling (if I heard correctly)

Friend flying economy bought me the snack last night… chicken and leek pie, 140g. From the infpgredients list, the filling comprised 60% of the total, with chicken being 22% of that 60%. So roughly 18g of chicken - or just over a half ounce. About 18c… at retail prices.

Looking at the a J class pie above I maintain QFd business meals must average a budget of about $2.50.

QF490 MEL-SYD 28MAY22 1930 dep

Overheard from Row 4: Beef Lasagna or Quinoa Salad.

Little did the J pax know, the whole plane received a Qantas Business Class meal.

Saturday MEL > BNE

No PDB

Chicken salad, quinoa, roast carrot and pickle, quite nice. The other option was a turkey sandwich.

White Wine was a Chardonnay, forgot which, suited the meal fine had to ask for a top up as CSM tried remove glass



My neighbor was a popular retired tennis player who received a bit more attention though she obviously didn’t want it. I said hello but then kept out of her face as she seemed to want privacy.

BNE > CHC

PDB offered, duval leroy champagne, sparkling water, or both as my seat-mate requested

Pepper beef (pictured, was ok some tender some dry, unfortunately come to expect that) or prawn salad, with a Shiraz, again I forget which, was ok, lamington sandwich in the box. Tops ups actively offered, but I had had enough after 2 flights and 2 lounges,

Limited catering this evening. Only one option of parmesan chicken on this evenings SYD-MEL.
I asked and the second option....??? To which there was no response

Not a fan of the chicken meat in that one but crew was willing to accommodate from Y plus snacks.

I'm not phased as its my work commute but if I upgraded myself wouldn't have been that pleased.

She probably was very unhappy with the football result the night before I'm sure that's what it was

I always take both! I didn't think I needed to be self conscious about my thirst levels

QF850 PER-DRW right now.

Pre departure: a small bottle of water.

Bar service. Two whites: ?Riesling and Haselgrove Chardonnay. One red - Grant Burge Shiraz. Pretzel/almond pack.

Meal choice: butter chicken & rice, braised beef with veg, salad of some sort (beetroot/chickpea? - stuffed if I can hear what excellent CSM Cecilia* is saying behind the mask).

(* Ruthless in redirecting whY interlopers to the back toilets. ).



Good - in a Uni residential college sort of way. I had been hoping for the lasagna as IMO that’s been the best of the latest offerings.

No cheese.

Detestable Lindt sugar-bomb ‘chocolate’ and some sickly cake that I asked Cecilia to take back to a kid in whY. She said they are not allowed to any more.

What’s the world coming to?

I'm sure I've been served that same slop in a box in whY.

Was the Grant Burge sparkling on offer too?

Do you ever work? And what is this “in whY” nonsense?

Not that I’m aware of. Cecilia took orders on a “Would you like drink?” basis rather than trundling out the cart.

I didn’t ask about spirits or the GB swill. I guess it’s a favourite for you?

Least you managed to get the once weekly 737 flight. DRW-PER on the A320 and was not enjoyable.
