Shhhhh...don't spread it around that some think outside the box...just saves them throwing remains down the toilet on the descent...

We wash our hands with it

By the by, excellent service from the CSD on the flight between MEL and SYD this afternoon. Just in control, friendly, helpful and on the ball. Credit to the airline.

VA917 - SYD to BNE - Thursday



Bacon and Eggs on toast - toast a disappointment - chewy and soft - prob the way it was reheated I guess - tasted better than it looked.

VA946 - BNE to SYD - Friday



Lamb rissole on vege tagine with spiced potatoes - I didn't really notice the bowl being so messy in RL.

Pretty tasty TBH.

CSD was excellent on that flight - good Ozzie lad - prob overplayed the larrikin / country boy but it sat well with me. Addressed us all by name every time (full flight) - had my 2nd G&T lined up before the first was complete.

Everyone was engaged and laughing with him - probably the most relaxed (and successful) service I have seen and it made for a highly enjoyable flight.

I think he was also on my recent flight from that description

If it's the lovely guy I had on a OOL-MEL flight mid last year he is also fluent in Japanese, from what I understand. I believe it's quite a shock when he starts chatting away to some of the passengers.

Oli maybe? Good bloke. Very good.

Don't know what it is about the MEL-PER route. Staff just seem grumpy compared to the short(er) sectors. No priority boarding at MEL (I asked why not while in the scrum) ..confused look and shrug received, no pre departure drink offered at all.. they manage this in my experience all the time on short sectors just what is the issue with the PER sector? So so far this "business class" experience has delivered nothing!

No, it was Troy. I've had him on a couple of flights, lovely guy.

VA687 MEL-PER atm. Tbh pretty terrible meal, it was an insanely tasteless main.

Served first in 2A as a plat.

It's actually a really tasty meal. There should be pita bread that goes with it and yoghurt and diced tomato

It’s missing something, I’ve had that meal before and thought it was tasty. Mine had some flatbread and tomatoes with a nice yoghurt. Looks like they didn’t plate it all

Apparently it was meant to have broccoli? CM apologised for the lack of it.

I've never seen it with broccoli. Chicken shwarma doesn't have broccoli

VA687 MEL-PER yesterday.

From what was described I believe it was meant to be this... Not sure how that happened though.

I think the CM was thinking of this one? (The two lumps at the top are chicken.)

Overcooked and messy plate potentially due to extended turbulence and delayed beginning of service during/after ascent.

 

[AIRwin]

The two lumps at the top are chicken.

Chicken breast?

 

[dk4]

Chicken breast?

Possible?! I really can't recall if it was bits of the usual thigh they normally buy for everything or breast.

 

[PERLHR]

Chicken breast?

Chicken thigh I think. It's actually quite nice albeit not very substantial as a meal. Two bits is a bit scrouge like..

Last minute booking (1 hour prior departure) as JQ cancelled my flight. VA832 on a brand new max - 10 30am departure. We got served lunch which was a bit odd. I was the last one to be served so I got the lamb risoles which were good.

Apologies, clearly I won’t be a travel reviewer… I was halfway and realised I hadn’t taken a photo. Probably it was the lack of breakfast and last minute booking!
