Nice to see that they've started using the Cathay lounge. When we came back mid August last year it was still the plaza premium which was very meh overall.
 
I take the Air Canada version of this flight often. I'm surprised to see that QF doesn't offer dine on demand - it's one of the best things about flying in J on AC. I begin my journey to Australia on the east coast of Canada, which means that dinner out of Vancouver is served around 4 am 'my' time, and eating dinner at 4 am is the last thing I want to do. (Not to mention that I've already eaten plenty on the two connecting flights and three lounges.) AC FAs are invariably gracious about serving it to me about eight hours later, whenever I ask them. Priceless.
AC does offer wifi on this sector, but until next year it isn't free (in any international flight), not even in J - although messaging is free for Aeroplan members.
