Looks rather crusty on top for a quiche Lorraine. The size must be decent but looks misleadingly small based on the photo.

I like how they qualified the pancakes as "home made". The catering cook made them according to their recipe at home? (I can understand when you order directly at a restaurant or cafe, but...)
 
Currently on the SYD-MEL and must say I haven't had such good service previously on such a short flight. The FA looking after J explained the on board facilities before take off, proactively offered drink top ups, and came out with a tray of snacks from the pantry.

Meal choices were beef ragout and gnocchi, or some chickpea masala curry with optional tandoori chicken.

As someone who paid full fare J last flights and always sits row 2, this is definitely not the case.
Can confirm I didn't get served first as paying J. But I still got my choice of meal.

Oh! That’s normal service for the good CMs! lol

But not all are the same.

Full fare + platinum doesn’t even give you first crack at meals! I’ve had CMs go out of their way to serve platinums last because they thought non-status shouldn’t always miss out! 🤣

Hoping for more of this normal service as I'm going to have multiple work trips happening. Was only full fare + silver, but should make gold by December with the DSC.

I've seen this order a bit lately. I'm still a firm deliver it should be status based or fare type (with upgrades done last). Crew do get a list of last minute changes/upgrades where catering isn't guaranteed but with most flights catered for the full 8 I don't think they bother looking at it.
 
VA530 OOL-SYD 22/6

Chicken parmi with sweet potato or three-bean quesadilla

Orders taken: 1A-1F, 2A-2F
Orders served: 1A-1F, 2A-2F (1D and 2D no meal)
 
VA746 OOL-MEL 23/6

PDB offered from water, sparkling wine or juice.

Cheese tortellini, sundried tomato paste with herbed sweet potato, cherry tomato and cheese with optional chicken (chicken not offered!) - my choice and would have again OR Chicken black sesame / teriyaki with rice and broccoli. Usual cheese and crackers on the side of the trayh, and I had a mini Cadbury choc, others had a tim tam.

Service was 1A - 1F and then 2A - 2F. Drinks proactively refilled. Happy to provide additional sweets for my post-meal hot chocolate. Great service from CM Penelope.

New seats, no curtain, plenty of Y passengers coming up front for the bathroom.
