Qantas First Class menus

I’ll agree to disagree over the champagne, but vintage Sauternes, Y d’Yquem, premier grand cru Bordeaux, 1963 Graham’s, Hennessy Paradis (they apologised for not having Imperial!), “top shelf” whisky etc, no comparison.


The QF pre-arrival 'snack' for HKG is disappointing :(

I' not immediately drawn to the concept of airlines deciding 'this is a supper flight' so they don't have to provide much food. Let's not leave it to what the passenger wants, we'll arbitrarily make that decision for you. QF isn't the only one - JL and SQ are in the same boat. But others like EK, LH, TG just serve a 'main meal' with full choices at whatever hour.

In my experience flying QF F, you can eat whenever you want. If I want to sleep first and eat a main meal later, I just ask them to put it aside for me.

They will also serve things not on the menu if they have something on board.

Yeah. But they don't officially offer 'dine on demand'. And with some crews I'm not courageous enough to ask for anything outside the standard service pattern :eek:

Admittedly this does sometimes lead to unintended results. On a particularly memorable flight earlier this year, I asked for "just the pasta" because I was falling asleep. After maybe 30 min, I received a bowl of plain noodles! Would you like anything else? Uhm ... the sauce? :D

And that's being polite.

Indeed some crew offer it up but most don't.

It seems each year the QF F menu drops another notch in quality. This year was the removal of olive oil for the bread, and snack options for between meals.

I had olive oil with the bread on my QF F flights this year. In fact, the bread was one of the better aspects of the meal.

Just like my friend who asked for a latte in a Rome cafe and received, quite correctly, a glass of milk :)
 
I was given a choice of olive oil OR butter in mid Dec SYD-HKG

Yup, I would go so far as to say they are almost “unlawfully depriving one of one’s urine” given the cost of the seat...
 
Hopefully similar on QF7 this month.


I went the 'tasting menu' given the length of flight. It was good - not outstanding, but what I've come to expect from QF F. Unfortunately the beef was overcooked.

The seasonal dish was another spanner crab dish - essentially the one listed on the menu was a warm option and the seasonal was a cold option. I effectively ended up having both as they brought me the incorrect one - the one on the menu was better than the seasonal dish.

Menu on the return DFW>SYD was certainly nothing to write home about. Effectively just the J menu with one additional small and large plate.
