Qantas Business Class meals & menus

[Scr77]

Please tell me that this was a mistake. This is EXACTLY the same as a J meal. I’m really happy for you but flying in “Business” always, I feel double and triple screwed by Qantas now. What the heck?

It‘s even better than a regular domestic J meal because it actually comes with a desert. Can’t tell you my thoughts every time I unwrap the cutlery to find a desert spoon but no desert!

I think the J meals on QF6's domestic sector are different from regular domestic J. You get paper menus for one. See QF9 review earlier in this therad;

QF9 - MEL-PER - 29/6 -15:15 dep

Champagne PDB, and refills offered very proactively.

I had the prawn papaya salad and lamb shank. Both were excellent.

Ice cream sandwich for dessert looked a bit sad in the packaging, but was fine otherwise.

It's not a mistake. Even though technically a domestic leg, it's still counted as the first leg of an international sector and it's PE. Also, PE doesn't exist from a dom perspective. Think of it in a similar context to AA in the US with their dom 'First' (i.e. business) vs int'l first* (obv excluding their transcon first).

* also would consider their int'l first more like business but I digress

Shows what can be done if there is the will to do it. Dom Business? “You can eat cake “…. “Oh, sorry, catering hasn’t been loaded. Pretzels?”

I remember now. Just shows once again how important it is to know which aircraft/flight you’re on.

I just remember I had saved the menu from the QF6 Per-Syd Flight in PE including the page in Italian for those Italian members of this forum

Food on QF1 SYD-SIN was reasonably good.

Thai fish cakes were cooked perfectly, though the beef fillet was well done as is to be expected.

Interesting you say that about the beef- I was always under the impression that heated in those weird airplane cookers, a steak has to either be bone dry or you have to slather it in sauce to make it edible (or Foie Gras- that works even better ).

But the other day, on SQ, they managed to serve a beef steak which as perfectly medium to medium rare almost even. I was stunned. But before anyone gets sad, their cheese platter would put Neil Perry to shame in terms of "minimalistic" presentation and choice of dried up supermarket cheeses- horrific. So over at the competition, it's also not all green pastures.

That menu is identical to the one I had on QF7 in early-May. You would think they could at least change them if not monthly then seasonally...

Memories of the Qantas 'cafe breakfast' without the compressed croissant.

Then I’m not sure which is worst

This evening feast - Lasagna there was no need for the green herb sauce stuff around the edges as it did not add anything to the meal and the veg was a little water logged. Overall it was not the best but filled a hole on a 60 minute flight.

I wish it was herbs. It's spinach which we all know is EVIL and hence destroys the otherwise fine meal Also, way too much parsley here, another fizzle green that comes from the same hell as spinach and -the worst- rocket. Bah, bah, bah.

 

[RooFlyer]

and -the worst- rocket. Bah, bah, bah.

Could be worse ... kale?

I must admit, I had forgotten about kale. Also truly horrid and tends to show in all the wrong places, I’m with you!

Same meal on CBR - SYD last night. Didn’t taste too bad though didn’t eat it all. Plane was nearly an hour late so maybe I was hungry.
