    Qantas domestic economy meals

    Might have to pop some of those fish shaped soy sauce mini bottles in my carry on in case I get dumplings in the future, just have to remember not on flights to SA given they are now contraband! Could get locked up by the beagles.

    What cheeses me off

    When you go to make a coffee this morning using the “milk” you made a special excursion to buy yesterday, only to see it curdle as it’s poured into the cup. Turns out my milk was fermented flavoured milk, aka Yakult style. Must scan label with google translate next time in the shop.

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?
