Qantas domestic economy meals

[ANstar]

But to be honest the choice is the equivalentnt of what I posted above.

Next time I'm flying JQ I'm making my own sandwiches in lounge.

Well you can choose to have a sandwich, toastie or a pie like what you posted above. Or if you want to choose a snack you can have olives, cheese and crackers... At least there is choice. Likewise for drinks.. instead of beer wine soft drink you have the option to have cider or spirits on JQ.

 

[JohnK]

Do they have a sandwich press? And would they have an issue if you filled up a Tupperware with food?

If they see you that may not be a good look but I can't see why they would have an issue with a sandwich into a zip lock bag?

Which is why I’ve switched to JQ for any Y Dom flying. You pay but there is at least a choice.

ADL-SYD, a bit after 9am.

“Breakfast Tart” - was alright, very salty, very filling.

Am I the only one who struggles to eat this without cutlery? These days I decline it as it's just too messy... I'm clearly too uncoordinated.

Totally, 100% agree. Definitely need cutlery to eat, well, in my opinion, anything. It's a pain to be too careful to eat with your hands when surrounded by strangers. Not to mention the whole mess of flaky pastry all over your person and seat, scattering all over the table. If it was a sandwich, then happy to eat with hands. But if you are going to serve me something that was just heated in a microwave, it is simply too hot to handle.

CBR-SYD, I was once offered the trio of arancini balls. I asked for a cutlery kit. The FA said, it's a snack so no cutlery was loaded. But the arancini balls were super hot to touch, definitely too hot to eat as a whole without burning the insides of my mouth. I had to wait for almost 20 minutes for the snack to cool down and then took a bite.

Me too. I’m usually in a suit, not like being at the footy.

Yeah, that’s not great - the no choice during the day I can live with but in the evening choice of meals and alcohol should be standard.

Her Majesty The Queen and Paddington Bear dispense with the ziplock bag.

QF932 PER-BNE July 28
Struck out on the upgrade but nicely seated in 4C with and empty 4B. Had breakfast of scrambled eggs/ sausage/ frittata/beans/ spinach which while looking terrible actually were quite good — eggs and sausage better than their J lounge counterparts a couple of hours earlier.

If you put it on a plate this could pass for an east coast J brekky.

QF640 PER-SYD. Lunch was chilli con carne. Tasted as good as it looks Other option was a chicken quinoa salad

View attachment 284538

Flight in the reverse direction and some rubbish options. I was starving so again opted for the chilli. I had one bite and stopped. It's truly disgusting.

QF540 SYD-BNE.

These again…



But no sauce loaded tonight.

Never mind the flight cancellations, lost luggage, delays and shocking call centres… a pie without sauce is just unAustralian!

How does all that cardboard go with Qantas' policy re recycling etc? Wonder if the used containers and food waste get composted?

Probably about as well as the fact international Y uses single use plastic cutlery or all plates cups etc in the SYD Dom J lounge are single use items.

It's all PR garbage from QF. Their actions don't match their words.

At almost all international destinations that QF flies to, the waste from the aircraft is incinerated due to being a potential quarantine risk.

That doesn't seem to be a problem for SQ, they have metal cutlery even in economy.

Presumably it's separated out and properly handled, i.e. high temperature dishwasher.

QF410 Sunday am


Tasty but absolutely required some form of eating implement as it fell apart as soon as it was lifted out of the box.

Following from @Captain Halliday, this is offering on QF499 (SYD-MEL) last night:
