Qantas domestic economy meals

Had the veg pizza SYD-BNE last Sat night, was quite nice although very difficult and messy to extract from the cardboard box. Plane was only 25% full so the flight attendants came around with a second serve of the pizza. Also managed to down three bottles of red wine. For a second there, I thought I should fly Qantas more often.

That's strange -- I had a hot breakfast (in a cardboard box) on a QF ADL-BNE flight operated by Alliance a couple of weeks ago. No complaints from me.

On a recent flight MEL to CNS, our whole food service in Qantas economy was one chocolate brownie and a drink, a flight of 3hr 20 min.

Now our flight was delayed by 50 min, so we ended up arriving in CNS about 2pm. I understand that meals are not served on flights of less than 3 1/2 hours outside mealtimes, but this is ridiculous for a supposed full service airline.

The thing here is that on both Jetstar and Virgin you can purchase food on board. So in my mind Qantas is fast losing out to the other airlines. Needless to say there was a lot of hungry grumbling people on our aircraft.

The business class meals served by Qantas on domestic flights are inedible so I hate to think what's served in economy.
