    Qantas domestic economy meals

    Yeah I remember that dnata took over Qantas catering back around 2018. What I meant was why Qantas/dnata don't provide proper in-house made meals (e.g. circa 2017 box meals on short Y domestic hops)? Did a quick google for 'yummy karma' and 'Ivans Pies' and they seem to be proper established...

    QF924 SYD to CNS 15:35 flight in Y. Food item served was a butter chicken puff, or mozzarella cauliflower bites was available (upon request) as an GF/non-meat option. A dark chocolate Lindt ball was offered for desert. The butter chicken puff was hot, flakey and had good flavour. The mozzarella...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF555 BNE - SYD earlier this week. Departure time 19:45. Flight was on an A330 repositioning to SYD for an Asian flight the next day, ...so was a treat to be in a lie-flat bed for just over an hour. Food options were: - Reuben Sandwich - Mushroom Soup - Ploughman's Platter None of the options...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    SYD to OOL on a evening flight QF596 earlier this week. Choices were: Garlic chicken (with steamed veg and potatoes) Minestrone soup Cold smoked trout salad with vinaigrette (with egg).

    Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

    Was at the spice bar late last week, and have to say that the pork dish was very popular in the lounge (I preferred over the kimchi rice). The other hot dishes in the buffet area were chili con carne, lentil dahl, and an Asian noodles dish. A few guys in front of me in the spice bar line...

    Amex Explorer cardholder Last week attempted twice to see if could get retention points due to krisflyer deval, less favourable cashback offers, worse shop-small etc, and was not offered anything (besides changing to another card).

    For people wanting to redeem avios on domestic Qantas flights, are the taxes the same with Qatar avios and BA avios, or is one of the airlines cheaper than the other?

    Qantas domestic economy meals

    Late night flight QF498 from MEL - SYD. Only option available was an Mediterranean vegetable pizza slice. Passengers who rejected were offered rice crackers as an alternative. Seconds were offered by the crew on their way back to the galley. Pizza tasted rather bland and salty, however was...

    First Qantas A220 revealed

    Flying on the E190, I feel the overall product feels a bit of a step down from Qantas mainline fleet also. The thing is that Qantas has a current 717 fleet of 12, whilst they have currently 29 A220's on order, so its inevitable that the A220's will take over some of the routes that are...

    First Qantas A220 revealed

    Disappointed that this pretty much confirms that the a220 is going to have only x10 J seats instead of x12 of the current 717.. yet this aircraft having more passengers (137 vs 110 on the 717 2-class). A positive is that there in an extra toilet on the aircraft vs the 717 (3 vs 2). Not a huge...

    Qantas domestic economy meals

    Honestly traveling with Qantas a few times this year, I’ve been really disappointed with the food offered on their planes, especially to the offerings provided pre-Covid. I remember traveling between bris/mel/syd and receiving a hot boxed meal (eg stir-fry noodles, curry etc) in 2019. Although...

    QF Domestic Fleet Renewal: Airbus 320neo/220 Preferred

    I think that Qantas going with the a320 family and a220 was the right choice regarding their fleet strategy. As others have noted in the forum, I expect that Qantas will not exclusively order the a321xlr, though will down the road also mix up their fleet with a320’s also. Regarding their...

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    I agree with you that instead of doing long haul themselves, they just might decide it’s cheaper and easier just to do partnerships with other airlines. I am kind of on the fence to be honest on which way they’ll go, though do feel they’ll expand their aircraft type eventually (whether it’s an...
