QF12 LAX-SYD

QF11 got pushed even further back to 10pm, which was a blessing for us as both team members should now manage to get on the flight. Their connection from LAX is another problem of course...

Not that price is always an indicator of quality, but for comparison that QF1 wine list has an average street price in Australia of $126/bottle (excluding the dessert wines). The CX F flight I’m on right now has an average price of $298, though that is skewed by the champagnes (2004 Krug at...

Qantas moved her onto a SYD flight that was supposed to leave earlier, but now they’ve boarded 2 different flights to SYD including the one she was just moved off and she’s still sitting on the ground in CBR, 11 hours after the flight we actually booked should have left.

Yup, connecting flight just rescheduled again to leave 50 mins in Sydney…

I have two team members flying from CBR to LAX via Sydney today. One was scheduled to connect via MEL, Qantas cancelled that and put her on a direct Sydney flight this morning. Then bumped her until 4pm this afternoon but now that’s delayed further due to the weather. Thankfully QF11 is...

Yes, it’s pretty disappointing for a First wine list. The champagne is nothing special, the reds are expensive (the Shiraz is $210 a bottle at Dan Murphy) but didn’t really impress. I’m on CX First tomorrow with Krug as their champagne offering and SQ in a few weeks with their Cristal special...

Wine list SIN-SYD

Summer all day menu Roped-off menu was Kingfish tartare and Niel’s minute steak. Steak was very nice, didn’t try the fish.

That looks great, sadly I’m only going as far as Singapore this time around.

Thanks! On QF1 again later this week, looking forward to the new menu.

Pleasingly I actually got a reply from Qantas this morning about the positive feedback I submitted yesterday, it's a bit of a generic reply but at least an acknowledgment that the feedback was received and has been passed onto the relevant flight crew.

Timely article for me too, as I was just on the Qantas complements form this morning leaving some feedback for the crew of one of my recent flights. Of course it wouldn't be an AFF post without complaining about Qantas IT: 1. Of the things that Qantas allow you to provide complements about...

No issues on any of the sectors, seatbelt sign didn't come on between takeoff and landing. Chatted to the pilots on the flight deck after we landed in Singapore, they mentioned they'd had to avoid a fair bit of weather on the way in which lost us about 20 minutes, but as a passenger I hadn't...

No menu loaded for SIN-SYD either. Even the wine list which I’d kept in my seat pocket from the previous sector had disappeared. Apparently there’s a new menu starting on this route in the next couple of weeks and that caused some kind of mix-up.

If you’re into steak, Miller & Carter is fantastic. For something different, Bundobust is a vegetarian Indian restaurant inside a craft brewery outlet. A million different beer options and the sharing menu is pretty good even for a meat eater.

Wine list QF2 LHR-SIN. No menu as they didn’t load any on the flight. Had a lamb on pita entree and steamed cod with Neil’s magic salad for main.

Brilliant! It’s amazing how much better their offering is compared to what Qantas pretends is appropriate for their First on the same route.

Went for a pleasant walk in the Welsh countryside yesterday… But the serenity kept being disturbed by these bloody obnoxious drivers in their yank tanks hurtling past at well more than the 60mph limit… (Mach Loop low flight test area in Northern Wales)

There wasn’t a new wine list provided for SIN-LHR, but they had the same Penfolds RWT and Singleton scotch so I assume the menu was identical. The Lark whiskey wasn’t available on either sector.
