It could be the black pepper chicken if it's not the teriyaki according to the winter menu, and yes that is the cheese tortellini with the optional chicken on top

I'm sure their parent/s found it hilarious too and were helpful in stopping that unnecessary behaviour :rolleyes: A few times is fine, but not the whole flight or an extended period.

I think you missed the point... 😅 Perhaps not the type of promotion aimed at you 😉 I'd definitely consider this, even being based in Melbourne, IF there wasn't a new puppy at home. $290 (at the lite fare) for those events is a steal and it'd make a great story.

Any good?

Can get some great value upgrades on transcontinental given the outrageous price for J cash fares

5596 points for mine on my calculations if you're a silver member who flew MEL-DOH on a Choice fare. So you might be ahead!

Like others, I'll look at QF out of interest now, and will fly if price is right, but JQ is a no no due to all the ancillary charges that end up making it basically the same as VA. Will lose my status, but credit card will keep me in the lounge. Aiming to keep partner at Gold for one more year...

VA746 OOL-MEL 23/6 PDB offered from water, sparkling wine or juice. Cheese tortellini, sundried tomato paste with herbed sweet potato, cherry tomato and cheese with optional chicken (chicken not offered!) - my choice and would have again OR Chicken black sesame / teriyaki with rice and...

I've had the masala, and yes, it was delicious

Upgraded at T-25 for PER, bid was $155 (min +5). Again, $30 to come back for Economy X. 6/8 J were available the day before the flight. Fascinated by the pricing strategy as not many $1800 fares can be being purchased.

Back PER - MEL on 3/6 on VA692 delayed out due to torrential storms and lightning in Perth by a half hour or so. Pam looked after us in the J cabin which was in the old configuration with the older seats and the purple divider. The new menu launched in late May must not be in effect out of the...

Can confirm the bread roll is back! (At least on MEL - PER). VA697 30/6/25, 2045 departure. Had the chickpea masala with optional tandoori chicken. Super flavourful, would definitely recommend. The other option was the beef ragu with gnocchi and veg and it looked good. Plenty of top ups when...

Upgraded at T-25 for MEL-PER, bid was $127 which was minimum + $10. I'd paid $30 for Economy X. Alternative was 30,000 points to be waitlisted for a points upgrade. I know which is better value! Cash fare at time of upgrade was around $1800 😱

Timing doesn't matter (outside the window for processing) and the upgrade portal doesn't tell you about availability or not. Need to use other methods for that. However, closer to flight the minimum price to bid often comes down.

The rope needed the divider, and the divider was removed to fit new seats and change the row configuration.

I didn't realise this until now... Lol 🤣 I'm using all of mine up on my daily coffee percentage back 😝

Not the thread for it, being off topic and all, but as someone working in transport planning, I'm still not convinced of both the economics or patronage need for a rail line in Melbourne. But we'll leave that for another time and place!

All welcome to Australia's biggest and best city, Melbourne, and our 24 hour curfew free airport! 😜 (Sorry, it's a Friday arvo).

Isn't there a little hook on the headrest of each seat for a coat? (I still agree it's sad that you can't hang a coat or suit up any more)

Welcome to AFF, and welcome to 2025 and the past 5+ years of change :rolleyes:
