Qantas Business Class meals & menus

Yeah I've asked for more on Virgin and they said they didn't have. I bet they did for *sale" down the back. Hate it when you pay a fortune for a ticket and they don't even acknowledge it really even with crackers and cheese!!

On VA though isn’t it a ‘set’, the biscuits and cheese come together in the same snack pack (mainland cheese). I don’t know if VA has separate packets of crackers only… there’d be little or no demand.

But I've occasionally been on airlines where they didn't have more biscuits to distribute.

They weren't loaded onto the plane, so how does one successfully ask for more?

Quite a few airlines have the entire cheese plate being fixed. The biscuits are already portioned out, not in a container.

Those airlines where biscuits would be on a trolley where every cheese plate is portioned out on demand would be the exception. I don't know how many biscuits they would budget per person, because it may not be nice to run out of biscuits if more people than usual take cheese when the last passenger gets served.

You could "break" portions to get more biscuits, e.g. raid other (perhaps not taken) cheese plates and take the biscuits off it, or in the case of VA, rip open some Mainland cheese packets and take the biscuits (and maybe discard the cheese). How desirable this is as an action is questionable, especially the VA case (viz. sales breakage).

that would be ridiculous and unreasonable!

TBH it’s getting a bit silly if people can ‘only’ eat cheese with crackers, and refuse to substitute for bread - or eat just plain - if crackers happen to run out.

I would quite happily take the cheese and cracker pack. Anything to help...Now soft cheese with bread sticks....different dimension can't remember at the moment the European airline I got that on...that was rather yummy .
