Qantas Business Class meals & menus

Choice of a beef "tangerine" (I think maybe they meant Tagine?)

Geez, I hope so! 'Beef Tangerine' just made me dry retch a little bit

Good to hear about E190 @RichardMEL
We are doing it MEL-NTL end of next week 1855 flight time, imagine we may get a hot meal?

Well, there's Orange Chicken, so I guess Tangerine Beef is not that far off...

Does anyone have the wine list for intl J on QF (SIN-SYD)?

QF have never printed a list for J, mostly because they don't always purchase wine in the volume that allows for it to be done. In addition, wines loaded for a flight today might not be the same as tomorrow.

Whilst not a list, they have recently updated the IFE to contain a large selection of information on the wines that might be carried, although not exhaustive.

Guessing there is no link to it?

The experience was awful. Service appears to have declined heaps from when I was getting op-ups 10+ years ago. Supervisor spent the entire flight going back and forth chatting with 2DF. Not a good look.

I actually had a similar experience last year on a day flight to SIN.

Probably being petty ranting about a mildly infuriating incident following:

I think that the CSM knew the passenger, but she appears to be fairly bigshot, with her husband, and two daughters in business too.

I cant remember which row, but I was in K that was closer to aisle side. The wife was in front of me, the husband behind me, and the daughters were together in the middle.

First of all during meal service, the CSM wheeled the trolley and served the wife. You know how you pause your show, sit up, take out your tray, take off your headphones, in anticipation of being served? Well I sat there for awhile, while they exchanged story after story. The other flight attended just stood there smiling awkwardly once in a while. Every time I thought they finished another story started. I tried to say fish it Im going to put on my headphones and continue my movie, but then you also don't want to look rude. Besides, I couldn't really focus, as find myself glancing repeatedly to see if they are moving forward or not.

And then after the meal service, finishing my movie and drink, I figured I have a little nap. But nooo... the wife and the CSM, came over to the husband behind me, and stood there chatting, for a good while. And they didn't like stand right beside the husband, but a bit in front of the him, so the CSM had her elbow rested above the 'side wall' of my seat. I know it is a day flight, but man, the chatter coming just above you. So, I figured I take my laptop out to do some work, since we still had wifi. But, it is just so hard to do anything, when you have someone standing right next to you, and it feels especially close on aisle side.

Now, to the couple, this is perhaps excellent, 5-star service, and technically, I mean, the CSM did nothing wrong... but maaaaaan, to me somehow it just feels wrong. Maybe it is just my personality that made this a problem, I don't really know how to explain it. For example, like I felt like a snack and drink, given I couldn't sleep or work. Do I just butt in and ask the CSM? But they just don't stop talking! Do I just press the call bell with her standing right next to me? That might look passive aggressive.

Oh well...........

I'll note that it's Lallier champagne - or at least it was when I flew up late last month. I haven't find this to be as nice as the Duval-Leroy they were serving for a long while in J. I still weep for the days they regularly poured Billecart-Salmon in QF INT J The current Botrytis Semillon is very nice (if you like a sticky with your afters); near to Noble One good.

I actually like the Lallier but the memory of Billecart in J makes me sad as well. And Bollinger in the Flounge- those were the days!

 

[serfty]

QF have never printed a list for J, ...

They did certainly do so with the introduction of the A380's. The lists had dozens of wines printed but it was only 5 or 6 available on any given flight.

Yes, and I recall that, but don't think that was the type of list for the flight the poster was looking for. That was more a guide, similar to what has recently been updated to the IFE, but from that, you still couldn't answer a question like what wine will I get today here.

I have memories of carefully searching for the matching offer ... an often not finding it!

 

[DC3]

It tasted OK, but I did not each much ...

May not look the best, but as long as you enjoyed it. Some of us can go a bit crazy over presentation as shown in a photo.

I remember when it first came out that we said when you reprint it, please please please please put in big back lettering on the front that this was a selection of what might be carried, not what we carry today. The A380 is big, but not big enough to carry a cellar .

QF125 AKL to BNE, B738 - subbed 2 days before from a A332.

As boarding completed a FA came though Business with a tray of bottled water. I good humoredly said "what no Champagne"? They pleasantly said I could have some if I wanted and I answered to the affirmative. In the end, all four Row 1 PAX had a glass after they requested one. I did no see any others get any.

After takeoff the CSM came through taking drink orders- this differed from recent experience.

After drinks service they came through with a trolley taking and serving meal choices; I had three options:

• Chargrilled Pumpkin and Spinach Lasagna
• Beef Salad
• Roast Chicken

I had the beef salad. It was very nice with tender meat:



Later in the flight Kapati Ice Cream was offered - a choice of "Hokey Pokey" or Salted Caramel.

And compliments are due on the broccoli!

 

[Cloud9]

I dunno - that could be good with some lime vodka.

Press that button

Don't sell yourself short. That's totally out of line by the CSM. I've experienced similar - there's nothing you can do about it - if you say anything you are the enemy for the rest of the flight.
