Trans Tasman Sparkle

[blackcat20]

As of tomorrow, QF will have Champagne and Kate/Jack Spade amenity kits on Trans Tasman J flights. Kits for flights after 6pm. Link: Qantas Business class to sparkle on the Tasman

Also on SYD-NOU! It was always a bit odd not to have champagne in J flying SYD-NOU on QF metal, whilst the champagne is flowing on the QF codeshare on SB. But apparently BNE-NOU is still not worth champagne...

It's wrong to drink sparkling wine when flying to France (Special Collectivity of France to be politically correct)

Kits for flights after 6pm.

Very few flights depart trans-tasman after 6pm though...

QF 125, 149, 155 are all after 6pm.

The timing for that is exquisite!

Shame all these sectors are still operated by 738's.

For such a short international flight a 737 is fine ... and these can be had for 15k (nett) dividend miles or 17.5k AAdvantage miles.

We seem to be getting more positive news - makes a nice change

Just need proper champagne in the J lounges now.

Little more than a return to previous service standards (save the amenity kit).

I can't think of an airline that doesn't offer champagne on an international flight in business class (save for dry airlines, and perhaps American carrier short-haul intra-Americas).

Even Emirates offers Moët in J. If anyone had an "excuse" not to it would be them.

Qantas's excuse is they don't have any money. This is not an excuse that Emirates could use and still keep a straight face

What's award availability like on those routes?

Looking at some expert flyer queries i have saved for mid/late May there a reasonable amount.

Had four glasses of the champers, the crew were pretty excited to be handing out amenity kits too!

What was served?

What was served?

From "a selection of Jacquart Cuvee Brut Mosaique NV, Champagne Duval-Leroy Brut NV and NV Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve" - I'll guess the Jacquart ...

 

[UpInTheAir:)]

I'd still choose a EK A380 with champagne all day over a QF 737.. but a step in the right direction
Enjoy!
