Qantas Business Class meals & menus

We have had Elio on quite a few of our MEL-BNE flights, always gives excellent service @vhojm

Yes he does.
Once of the best.

Slightly OT, but have just completed a Qantas Research Panel survey for pax who have flown F and/or J in the past 12 months on any airline.
Shown examples of dinnerware and asked for preferred choices and explain why.
Seems QF might be looking at enhancing their crockery.
Pity it isn't a Red Planet survey and earn points for my 10 minutes.

Got the same survey yesterday- completed it last night. A lot of those white crockery options were very similar.

I have received it, but not completed as yet. Are they asking about the quality, presentation of the food or just the crockery?

Just the crockery options @zig

Just the crockery options @zig

Thanks. Just went back to read the email and noted that they are asking about table ware. Sadly I think they are missing the opportunity to focus on the actual menu/ food.

No matter which design they go for @zig @Dmac59 (if they do at all) will their tableware sit easily on the tray/table?
Mostly, I find it all a tad cluttered.

Seriously- the table wear, that is their main concern? How about decent portions, edible food and some more variety? But no, we need fancier plates…

Exactly. Like rearranging the deck chairs whilst the ship is sinking

It’s all part of the package of improvements, which overall are pretty good (maybe a bit late!)

I have not come across any food that is inedible on board.

They have some issues with plating, but the quality and quantity of the food is good. Agree maybe some more variety!

Solving both problems is not mutually exclusive.

True, it should indeed not be.

Quality is very hit and miss but mostly on the positive side, I agree. But portion wise? Qantas is one of the few airlines out there where I regularly leave the plane still feeling peckish after flying in J. Especially Domestically but even in International. Hardly any other airline where this happens to me, maybe JAL because I can’t eat any of those fishy things but otherwise, not really. But admittedly, I’m a big boy with a big appetite

Me too! Big appetite… and a fear that I need to eat on board in case I can’t find anything to eat in arrival!

But there’s the nuts to start (with seconds if you want), choice of three entrees, multiple serves of bread, mains, dessert, cheese, mid flight snacks and the arrival meal. I can’t say I’ve ever left a QFi flight hungry, in any class!

First flight on my SYD-AKL-BNE-SYD SC run this morning.

Trip did not get off to a good start as my original flight (the last flight from SYD-AKL) was cancelled so they put me on the first SYD-AKL departure the next day.

Menu card was offered and breakfast was as follows:




Had the omelette which was pretty good. The banana bread was very tasty.



Was offered a morning tea of biscuit and choice of hot drink (went with an apple juice as I had tea with breakfast already)



As an aside I went to the EK SYD this lounge this morning as our flight was leaving from gate 55 and I had the lounge to myself for 45mins so it was quite fun.
