If I had that significant a food allergy I would investigate the special meals or make my own arrangements. Personally I think it’s a good thing that they offer real food on this flight and not the same cheap breakfast food that I would probably already have been offered in the hotel and again in the lounge. It was not always thus.
It's not usual offerrd on the tray so don't get used to it
If that is the case, good practice would really be snag a sandwich or wrap from Y ... I would have thought? Why did this backup scenario process end?
I agree, a quick domestic dart hardly a memorable trip to begin with so enjoy your meal & vino off you go.It's not usual offerrd on the tray so don't get used to it
White wolf Chardonnay/S Blanc on offer at the moment.
Keen to hear from your experience, what could the CM have done on a flight that long to make the service memorable to you?
Sorry if I sounded a bit off putting as I should have said the CSM merely took the tray after we finished and didn't offer any refills of our drinks and chatted with other crews in the galley.It's not usual offerrd on the tray so don't get used to it

I don’t think it’s entitled to note a lack of proactive service following the meal, which you did politely in your post. It’s not such a short flight that there’s no time for a top-up.
No need to apologise at all. It was a genuine question to see and you've summed up the flight for me!
Don't be shy about pressing the call button.On a delayed MEL-BNE last night (353) - scheduled 20:50 departure pushed back to 21:55, which ended up being 22:18 push back and 22:48 wheels up...courtesy of some Melbourne fog rolling in as well. We were on VH-VUQ, so new layout, no divider or "magic rope", however didn't have any invasions from row 3 and beyond...
PDB's were taken quickly and the CM did provide sparkling water when Mr 1D asked for it...
Orders taken 1AC, 1DF, 2AC & 2DF, but as several pax did not want dinner both choices - Mac & cheese with optional chorizo or Beef Rendang - were available to all.
The Rendang had zero spice and may as well be called beef stew. It came with rice and broccoli, which was nice enough.
A glass of sparkling and a glass of pinot noir were happily provided, but no proactive refill and once plates were cleared it was lights out and no sight of cabin crew until descent.
Overall a stock standard service with nothing in particular to recommend it.
It's all good, I had to drive home from the airport last night. More a comment in this case than anything.
I would see this as one off as almost all of the CMs on my flights had been very good and provided excellent service.
We've been told that over 1000 people participated in a business class survey saying they didn't want the breakfast pastry on the side as well as in two focus groups in Sydney and Melbourne.
The breakfast pastry has been removed due to this so please don't complain about the lack of offering on the tray because you good people who participated have now changed the business tray offering
What is supplied in lieu of the pastry? Seasonal fruit platter? Yoghurt?We've been told that over 1000 people participated in a business class survey saying they didn't want the breakfast pastry on the side as well as in two focus groups in Sydney and Melbourne.
