Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

[RooFlyer]

HBA-SYD this morning. Fritters - excellent plating and taste. Pastry cold ( my preference).

 

[Must...Fly!]

Pastry cold

Sacre bleu!!

I do wonder how hard it would be to warm these up to make them nice and flakey again. I guess too much danger of them drying out.

wasn’t too hungry at the time so no pictures

You mean, you were too hungry at the time, so no pictures .. meaning, you were too hungry to stop and take a pic ...?

The previous post with this had the pastry warmed up. I have found pastries warmed on aircraft to be squishy if not soggy, so I was OK with it being cold.

I found the warmed up pastry to be just right. An extra minute and it would have been extremely dry. I tend to do most of my travel with QF and these are the little details that seem to matter with VA service and catering

Today on my return leg VA834 SYD-MEL we were slightly delayed. Options were a salad or the green chicken curry which I had. Slightly spicy but pretty good overall. Superb service with constant refills

Nice.
Wouldn't want a bland curry, I think it requires just a little kick to be named a curry!

Morning flight PER - KGI, alone in business as the only other person failed to check in.

Dish is a bacon, pumpkin and feta tortilla quiche

You could have also sampled the other option?

VA1090 SYD - LST yesterday - PDB offered still water or sparkling wine

2 offerings, salad or chicken curry - curry was nice enough

SYD-MCY morning flight.

Two breakfast options:
Egg omlette with goats cheese and smoked salmon or;
Corn fritters with feta, tomato chutney and the world's biggest basil leaf.

Accompanied by Jayne's cold Danish.

Tip of the hat to the excellent staff.

biggest basil leaf

Even larger than a Neil Perry salad?

Was that the St Hallet shiraz on your tray? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it.

Don’t give him any ideas. A single leaf salad - so much healthier for you and a lighter footprint on the planet.

I'm taking a couple of 4-hour flights to/from Darwin in December. What are Virgin doing on those longer flights? Still a single-tray meal at the beginning followed by 3 hours of nothing?

Yes.

 

[TMP]

Yes.

Yeah and this. You could also bring extra snacks from the lounge if you get hungry or purchase off the retail menu

Same as the Fiji flights, one tray then constant drink top ups, but no issues getting extra items such as chips or cheese and crackers

Brisbane to Melbourne breakfast flight.
Scrambled egg on toast was tasty, glad the breakfast didn’t come with cheese and biscuits.
The other option corn fritters was said to be good as well.

Flew a few other afternoon flights and said to the FAs tell the meal deciders to swap out the cheese and biscuits to biscuit and humus, just something different.
