Sorry but I don't even know wtf that dish is. It seems like they made it up onboard with different meals out together.View attachment 361597
VA1594 today 26/12/23, apparently an Xmas special meal.
Very underwhelming.
Best part was probably the chocolates honestly.
Weather has wreaked havoc all day; feel for everyone involved across pax and crew.

That looks really unappetising . More like a punishment for Christmas rather than a celebration of it.View attachment 361597

A SYD-MEL is scheduled for around 1.15 hours with around 30 minutes if lucky of service time... Curious to know what were you expecting of them to do after the service?Dinner on VA870 from SYD to MEL last Friday was a choice of the pasta with chorizo or the chicken with yoghurt dressing and rice.
Went with the chicken and opted the pasta for the little one. Glad we were in row 1 as they only have loaded three pastas and everyone else behind us had no choice.
PDB of sparkling, water and OJ offered and orders were taken from 1F to 1A (where I was seated) then 2A to 2F as it appears Mr 1F was a platinum so the crew took his order first.

Both meals tasted good but the service was only average with the CM hiding in the galley after the meal service.

Also had the magic beep last Friday (also row 3)! Unfortunately they hadn't loaded enough to cater my new J seat but was happy with the free wine and snacks.VA908 BNE-SYD this morning. I was pleasantly surprised by the beep beep at the gate and being told I was not longer in 3A.
Got to the end of the airbridge to see zero queue, and was welcomed onboard. J was full and our delightful CM was offering OJ and water as PDB.
Once airborne, the offering for the morning was either Scrambled eggs + Bacon & Cheese on sourdough or scrambled eggs + beans + mushrooms. Order was 1AC, 1DF, 2DF, 2AC.
I took the scrmabled eggs with the bacon and cheese, but discovered that the alternate also had a sour dough slice, with the eggs separate. Eggs were a bit rubbery, but okay and sufficiently flavoursome. There was also a pound cake slice on the side as well - a pleasant surprise!
On time departure and on time arrival into SYD was another pleasant surprise, and hopefully a sign of things to come in 2024!
Certainly beats paying for the upgradeAlso had the magic beep last Friday (also row 3)! Unfortunately they hadn't loaded enough to cater my new J seat but was happy with the free wine and snacks.
Same here - got told at gate that catering was not assured, however when onboard our CM made no mention of that.Also had the magic beep last Friday (also row 3)! Unfortunately they hadn't loaded enough to cater my new J seat but was happy with the free wine and snacks.
Did your new boarding pass have a FCNA code?Same here - got told at gate that catering was not assured, however when onboard our CM made no mention of that.
I didn't look at the time, however it did show booking class as J and I've received 55SC for the flight, so I'm guessing that someone took a ticket out of revenue for meDid your new boarding pass have a FCNA code?

I was upgraded in November and I received the 55 SC, but the same points as what I'd paid for (ie. the dollar amount I'd paid for, multiplied by 10).And points?
