QF108, PEK-SYD, 11.45pm departure, 2.10pm arrival (scheduled), A330.
Champagne or sparkling water on boarding, amenity kit and menus on seat, plus water bottle. Full cabin, I counted three empty seats. Pyjamas were piled up in row 1 and a 'take one yourself' affair, overall good and friendly service.
When handing over the completed breakfast order form, I asked whether I could have dinner upon waking up, as I wanted to go straight to sleep, however I was told that this was not possible, the best she could do was to hold a cheese platter for me. I briefly considered telling her that QR offers 'dine any time' but decided against it, so upon waking eight hours later - bliss - I got the cheese, as it turns out only one hour prior to breakfast being served. These were the menus, the cheese selection turned out to be one soft (camembert?) and one hard (cheddar?) cheese with lots of crackers, some grapes and one date:
I went with croissant and pancakes, reasonably sized meal but I admit I left the plane quite hungry upon departure:
Nothing wrong with the food but I wonder whether Qantas might change the concept of their food offerings, as I cannot imagine many people have dinner at that time of day, so why not a small snack and then breakfast or even a full lunch instead, after all arrival is 2.10pm. Final comment, the CX lounge was well below par, food selection atrocious, DIY cup noodles and chicken nuggets were the only hot options.
