Qantas Business Class meals & menus

[Balorfi]

I'd be interested to know if many of those who travelled from Hobart on the early morning flights missed out on meals all together. Apart from status credits, what's the point of travelling in business class if there are no meals served?

For me it’s the seats that are most important.
I travel a bit for work on the morning flights and I reckon I accept Brekky on probably 1 out of 20 flights. Most airlines don’t serve a breakfast that I would eat so I just grab a coffee and something in the lounge. The seat is the most important thing for me
That doesn’t mean it’s right or acceptable the airlines don’t serve a breakfast at all

Agree. It’s the not being sandwiched between two burly pax thing!

I guess the 6am departures miss out as there is no catering at HBA. Never do those flights anymore so don’t notice but I’ve said a couple of times that I think the mid morning flights are over-catered!

I am a “burly pax”.

Usually in a suit early morning flights.

Nothing wrong with that! Just 3 x of them don’t necessarily fit into 3 economy seats!

My last few trips SYD>MEL and back I have just asked for a cup of tea, whatever time of day it is. I usually fill up at my destination at a restaurant or sometimes in the lounges.

QF592 SYD-OOL 15/3

Options were salad with goats cheese, french toast, or corn fritters. Came with protein bar, with an option to add cake

Corn fritters

That Australian tasting plate seems to be quite common in appearance of late.

It is the worst! I tried it once and never again

Is Australian tasting platter the new name for a ploughman’s lunch, which they used to serve?

I could be wrong but I think the Australian tasting platter is a QFi entree, and the ploughman's lunch is a QFd meal? (possibly on "refreshment" services)

No, they are not the same thing / dish

QF3 SYD-AKL Fri 14 March





Mr Katie had the big bowl of soup. He said it wasn’t what he’d call a big bowl.



Ice cream was cold, but spoonable, rather than being a frozen rock.

Mr Katie had the big bowl of soup. He said it wasn’t what he’d call a bug bowl.

Was he enjoying that while watching a bug hut - a really popular show?

QF3 SYD-AKL Fri 14 March

Thanks for sharing! Taking this flight next month and was wondering what the menu might look like.

They are bringing forward the scheduled departure time to 0910 however, not sure if that changes it to a breakfast service or still considered lunch.

This was typed while on the SYD transfer bus, so all typos I attribute to the bus!

QF4 AKL-SYD Sun 16 March
A fast flight, just somewhat over 2.5hrs in the end. We arrived about an hour early.

Now, the food:



I had the omelette. I thought it was OK.


Mr Katie wanted the Avo on toast, but apparently the crucial ingredient of avocado was not loaded.
He had the omelette and thought it was yuck.

I wish I’d not bothered with eating and had napped after getting up around 3:45am to get ready and get from the Hilton to AKL.

That salad looks great - especially by Neil's usual standards

Fat fingered typo, should have been “big”.
