Qantas Business Class meals & menus

[anat0l]

The last BA321 flight I was in (LGW-AGP) there were 55 in Club!

That's about 2 hours. Still fast paced, but that's longer than BNE-MEL. And yes I know BA crew work fast.

55 is pretty crazy for J, all the same.

Does raise another idea, which is one cart but working both sides of it. Still requires 2 crew (plus 1 in galley possibly for non-standard drink requests), but that's potentially more efficient than two carts down the aisle. I assume 20 passengers worth of food and accessories can fit in one cart.

I am interested how timings are going to be on Melbourne Sydney flights with 20 business class seats on the A321.
People in row 5 are not going to have long to eat at all.

Should be faster in theory as you’ll have two crew serving 20 vs one serving 12 on a 737

I love soup. But pea soup?

Unless part of a pie floater it’s a no for me

less chatter with row 1 / staff travellers would get the job done.

Yes!

No, but they have 28, 42 or 70 tickets in front of them which they have to work one after the other. Even if that’s one minute per dish to plate, I expect at least 30 mins. between courses? Maybe they can plate faster, but then others will complain about the presentation.

Yet other airlines do it faster/much faster with excellent presentation. QF is anomalously slow.

They could also save a heap of time if they had menus instead of having to repeat the options to each pax.

Tell 'em he's dream'n. Menus??! (You get menus on Eurobusiness flights on BA, AY and TK flights, at least.)

That's what they had in the Business Lounge in Adelaide. Vilis floater.

Grew up on pie floaters and still love them. I haven’t seen them at the QF lounge yet but I’m usually on the early morning departures

I'm going to try and get WP status again just to try it. MrsK isn't a fan, so just flying J to get a pie floater would pass the pub test so to speak.

Well, a little off topic maybe, but I'm flying BA Club, seat 1A, LHR-PSA next week on an A319 with 28 J seats, all occupied (as are all seats in Y).

I'll be a little disappointed if I don't get at least a couple of glasses of champagne with my meal. Qantas might struggle with this, although being in row 1 helps there with QF.

lol, plenty of time!!

Been on many a320/321s LHR-AMS - with 40+ seats in club. Plenty of champagne and top-ups even towards the rear of the cabin!

QF26 HND-SYD a couple of weeks ago. Nice day time flight home from Asia. Had the cherry danish and fruit salad. Then for lunch had dumplings to start, chicken kiev and then the 'chesnut and almond cake with chocolate mousse and poached pear'.

Highlight was the dessert, although I think 'chocolate mousse with poached pear and pieces of cake' would've been a more accurate description.

I'm surprised that QF25 (8.30pm departure) offers a supper service as oppose to a full dinner. Ordinarily I wouldn't mind as I'd have had dinner in the F lounge but this week I wont have too much time in the lounge if any.
