I’m not a big breakfast eater so only had the Bircher muesli, which was served in a shot glass so not really what I’d expected as a bowl of cereal. Coffee was nice enough though and at 4:30am that’s probably the most important for me.

The duck noodles from SIN were my favourite, followed by the beef out of SYD. And yes, the ice cream sandwich was pretty cheaply served given the context.

QF1 SIN-LHR

QF1 SYD-SIN

If you can wait a few days I’m on QF1 at the end of the week, happy to grab some photos of the menus for you.

Have been flying F with mine (now 15 and 10) since our eldest was 6 months. Unless they have allergies you need to cater for I’d stick with the standard menus. Plenty of choices so that most people (even kids) can find something to eat. Things like the fish are usually easy to separate from the...

Mine usually shows the same, it’s what happens when you qualify for WP based on OneWorld partner flights rather than Qantas metal.

I've shared the story before, but most memorable for me was on a QF F flight back when they not only flew the 747 but came around with a selection of movies on cassette tape to play in your personal tape player. An older gentleman was sitting in 1A, dressed immaculately in business attire. 3...

Not really any bad seats but everyone has their preferences. If you want to both have window seats I’d suggest K not A, as the F seats face the A seats and when the dividers are down for takeoff and landing you don’t have as much privacy when sitting in A. I always liked 4A 5A when travelling...

Fully agree with the K+F suggestion. We’ve done 4A / 5A with a 6 month old, the bassinet was pointless so we didn’t bother with that selection again. We ended up spending most of the waking hours of the flight sitting together in one suite so proximity wasn’t a huge issue. Do keep in mind...

I know this is a "can never please everyone" scenario but one of the reasons I like TPR is that it's the opposite of the Sydney QF F lounge in being quiet and not packed to the gills. There's no queue for a seat at the dining section, nobody telling you to move on and work elsewhere if you...

Not sure I'd consider that $2,700 well spent...!

CBR-SYD is one of the biggest impacts for me. With no 717 from next week there's only 1 flight each day with J class (on a 737), dropping from 4 flights with the 717. Given VA outsources the route to Link with their Saabs (obviously no J there either) that leaves us with 12 J seats per day to...

SYD-SIN, SQ212. Even more impressed that they catered so well for an 8am departure!

Only anecdotal evidence, but on a 777 flight I took back in June there were 3 of us in the cabin drinking Krug, and based on the number of refills we all had I'm confident they had stocked multiple bottles.

I'm not saying I'd be one to ask to swap, just that I understand why people are inclined to ask. The loss in 'value' to an individual traveller moving from 1A to 3A is marginal, but the gained value for a couple moving 2A/3A to 1A/2A is significant. I imagine that's the way SQ sees it also, as...

To be fair, the experience of the double-suite as a couple is significantly different to flying in 2 individual suites. Sitting in proximity to someone else when you're both in private cocoons is one thing, being able to open those cocoons to a bigger shared space is something else entirely...

The term "VIP Host" would be far more accurate given their remit. Flying QF F doesn't get you "F Host" service - at least I've never encountered it in my dozens of F flights as either WP or LTG.

The suites do get smaller from front to back. From memory row 1 gets 4sqm, row 2 gets 3.8sqm, row 3 gets 3.2sqm. None of the suites are what you'd consider 'small' in their own right and I'm more than happy flying in any of them. As I mentioned somewhere up-thread, if flying solo I'll pick...

Fully agree - I really enjoy the SQ F lounge in Sydney. Very rarely more than 4 people in the lounge, a massive contrast to the crowds in the QF F lounge most days. Food has always been nice - truffle eggs for breakfast a few weeks ago was top notch, as was the coffee. Coupled with the 4 pax F...
