Qantas International Catering Singapore To Brisbane

[Ozbarbie]

My first post and unfortunately it’s a huge whinge. Qantas what are you doing?

Flew Singapore to Brisbane in economy and the food was disgusting. This is an international service which should be showcasing what to expect from the best country in the world, and on the current offering get a parachute and don’t bother coming.

Aside from being served wooden utensils to eat with, the food was terrible. Choice of peri peri chicken or vegetarian noodles, had run out of the beef option by row 34, microwaved bun that if you didn’t eat as soon as it hit your tray, it was a rock within two minutes, and a sponge cake, which was the best part, and even that was mediocre.

Breakfast, that’s a whole other story, because that was inedible! Scrambled egg and tomato lattice pastry in a box….the box was more appealing.

I’m ashamed to call Qantas my national airline on that offering, having flown Emerites economy to Europe, there is no comparison.

The cabin crew were great, but the food leaves a lot to be desired.

Thank god for Singapore Qantas club food, which was outstanding. The short hop from Brisbane to Bundaberg where you get tea/coffee and a muffin was a better offering.

I agree, my last Singapore to Sydney flight in Y, the food was just as you described. I could not eat either of the meat options as they both contained fish sauce to enhance the flavour ( I am allergic to fish. I read the contents on the pack and checked with the FA).
The noodles were dry.
And one bite of that lattice thing was enough urgh! And it was almost frisbeed to my window seat.

A warm welcome to AFF @Ozbarbie .
I see you also have a Kris Flyer account. SQ beats QF hands down between BNE and SIN.
4 flights a day 2 of which are daytime flights and usually cheaper than QF. Close in the best timed flight during the day can be fractionally more than the QF flight but the night flights often fall in price and instead of just over $A100 cheaper than QF they can be ~ $200 cheaper.

Welcome to posting on AFF @Ozbarbie and sorry to hear you had a sub-optimal experience there. Have you provided feedback to Qantas about your flight? Whilst there's no guarantee they'll action anything based on your feedback, the fact remains that it's guaranteed they won't do anything at all if people don't provide their input.

And they may offer some points as compensation?

Welcome to the chat, Ozbarbie. Qantas international catering is one disappointment after another. I travelled in economy SIN-MEL just after they decided they weren't going to use trays any more to place everything on - just a hot meal in a box (?) with some bread shoved on top - are they still doing that? I thought that was the low point, but then I did LAX-SYD in business and discovered that a small bowl of pasta was meant to hold you over for 12 hours. Yikes.

Potentially, yes, but this wouldn't be my main motivator to provide such feedback.

Back to trays for international economy.
