Anyone know if QF have released the shackles and allowed the staff to make coughtails or are they still restricted by what's listed on the menu?

Whilst it might be good compared to other carriers, it's still disappointing that 2/3 of the time you get some pretty average stuff given the amount you're paying for the seat and experience. A more consistent product is needed. As PF said upthread, QF need to bring back the tasting menu and...

I would agree with those stats. I'm not quite at 30 segments in F, however your less than 1/3 statistic of decent reds would be similar to my hit rate.

We can only dream. The glory days. As long as they have a decent champagne and red I can medicate myself sufficiently for a nice sleep

Thanks for sharing. Whilst yes, there has been a lot of crossover with the J menu for a number of years now, there have generally been some first only options (e.g. lamb rack) which is what I was hoping to see. Also was keen to see the wine list as when I travelled the same route around this...

Does anyone have a recent QF1 menu that they could share?

It disappeared during COVID and hasn't come back. I generally used it previously to ensure that I got what I wanted, however it was hit and miss whether it actually registered as there was more than one occasion that the FA asked what I was having and when I mentioned that I had already...

I have a few times, but it's been only when I've been in row 1 on the 787. Generally have been speaking with the crew during boarding / safety demonstration and they have said before they sit down 'what drink can I get you after departure' and not long after the seatbelt sign has been switched...

If I understand what the OP is saying, I would think as you suggest it's ensuring you get the meal you want (if you're sitting further back in the cabin) or even little things like I've mentioned in another thread where I was offered a coffee from the (n)espresso machine whilst most others...

I've only had to share a room once when travelling for work. Very similar type situation and I was quite junior at the time so wasn't going to stick my neck out given others more senior than me had accepted it. Luckily it was only two nights. In saying that, if this was to happen right now, I...

I understand it to be a newer thing which is why those that booked previously were able to select. They are now withholding rows 1-5 for P1/CL until T-80 when it's a free for all (I believe that this is the right approach, particularly if they are going to put the unrefurbed bird on that route).

I shudder at the thought!

Yes, I don't disagree. But at least it had frothed milk and wasn't the pot coffee which is what I had been subjected to whilst I was in the US

Your comment re coffee is interesting. I've found it depends on the crew / your status what type of coffee you get. The 787 is equipped to make proper coffee (not the pot brewed / pot stuff) but it's hit and miss whether it's offered. On one of my flights back from DFW last year the CSM...

Whilst I don't disagree - particularly on the short overnights from Asia - I feel that QF are damned if they do, damned if they don't. They can't please everyone and if they moved to an 'express dinner' then there would be those in the peanut gallery saying that they 'paid a lot of money for...

The results only come through that early if QF are processing upgrades then (same for WP). They obviously thought that there was a chance of still selling some / all of those seats so only processed them when you received them. You are still at the front of the pecking order though. Generally...

Appears to devalue those with status if the batch release is the way of the future. Essentially someone with no status but lots of points has the same ability to grab a seat as I do as a P1...

One has to imagine that he was pushed given his own narcissism and ego wouldn't allow him to make a rational decision

I suspect that the reason that QF put that rubbish in the lounge is twofold: 1) surplus stock post COVID and 2) too many WPs still riding the wave of extensions, DSCs, etc. that naturally would have dropped to SG during this period. I know a number of them who ended up in this predicament and we...

I did receive one last year (post COVID) on requalifying (outside of QF extending everyone again) and now appears that on requalifying this year they have sent out a new card with the extended expiry. I agree though, couldn't tell you the last time mine was out of the wallet, or when I've...
