Qantas international Economy Class meals

[bjm76]

And there are toilets/showers!

Ah yes none in the T2 lounge!

TBU-SYD Y - Late Dec 2024. No hot meals catered on this 5h15min flight.

J didn't look any better, with a permutation of items below, a hot soup and bread

Is that all you got for that flight time?

I mean, there was a snack basket at the back (with the same snacks and a mandarin - which I took!), crew proactive with drinks, but that was pretty much it!

That is pathetic for that flight time. You should have got a proper meal like you do for AU to NZ flights

Seems like a catering problem. It should be a hot meal.

QF357 BNE-HIR: There were only three chunks of chicken in the meal. Very poor. This is a Qantaslink (Alliance) flight on the E190.

That does not look appealing at all. I would respectfully return it.

I suspect so too.

QF flights to most of the Pacific Islands are double catered from Australia. They can't offer things like chicken salads in the to Australia direction on the 737s because there is no cold storage for food.

Something went wrong with the catering.

That was catered to spec.

The flight is double catered but as the 737s don't have chilled compartments and due to the length of the outbound flight, nothing perishable can be loaded for the return.

My goodness!

There are "shelf stable" catering products available that at least could pass for a meal.

I guess such are "too expensive" for Qantas to provide on a fare inclusive basis.

I've heard ROR-BNE, a 6-hour day flight, is the same. Qantas must not have a caterer at TBU or ROR, I guess?

This is what cabin crew told me when I asked.

No caterer in TBU.

Welcome to the real world JF. Occasionally #$@t happens.

QF38 SIN to MEL - only a breakfast 1.5hrs before landing.

I fell asleep after take-off so not sure if a supper was served.

No more menus handed out in economy?!

Menus are now via the entertainment screen.

Appropriate, some would argue.

A hot item (hand held) is served after take off with something sweet. QF38 then gets the full breakfast.

QF36 is the reverse with a full supper instead and hot item for breakfast.
