BNE-SYD dinner flight on 737:
Lovely flight experience yesterday on my way back from Brissy. J lounge in BNE had the former “cantina” kitchen open but served a very tasty lasagna alongside a weird and bland potato salad.
I had three serves of the lasagna so came onto the plane quite full already which is something I otherwise only do when dining in the Flounge before an international flight.
Crew on this leg was an absolute delight and dinner offerings were Veal tortellini, a chicken Waldorf salad or a chicken and corn soup. I was torn between the pasta and the soup but in the end decided for the former as there’s nothing wrong with pasta followed by pasta in my eyes
It was a good choice, the tortellini tasty with a decent amount of veal filling and just a tiny bit too much fizzly spinach snuck into the sauce alongside some rather yummie mushrooms.
One again, I was pleased to see the Pepe Saya butter which now seems to be standard. I had a Shiraz Grenache blend with it that I hadn’t tasted before, even though I source most of my wine through Qantas. It was exceptionally tasty, so much so that I asked the FA to take a picture of the bottle.
After landing and upon leaving the plane, the super nice FA scrambled to open their stash of wine bottles back up and handed me a brand new unopened bottle of this drop which was such a nice gesture and definitely made my night. Bravo to Qantas for a lovely experience both on the ground and in the air, tasty food and good wine. And Qudos goes to the crew which was truly excellent. Loved this flight!
. I did intimate in a post upthread that I planned to do this. I selected early afternoon flights and we will eat in the JLounge and ignore inflight food. T-80 pouncing should see us in front seats on the side.
