Current F Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

[jakeseven7]

Sadly, it did not. And no decanter wine apparently (I did ask).

Was sent to the roped off area for first time though. The kingfish was sensational… had to get two servings of it before QF11.

Lounge was super busy. Adding QF11 to the afternoon roster sees two QF A380’s now departing at similar times. Despite this, managed to get 2x waitlisted spa times confirmed (myself and MrsChooms).

Do you happen to know what time the spa opens in the AM in MEL?

Don't quote me on this, but I have a feeling it's 9am.

Are you sure you weren’t denied a pav because you were wearing a bikini and thongs in the lounge and had your feet on the seat?

Well, one of those things is true

But they had no problem giving me champagne.

I wonder if Oneworld's new "The 25" signature coughtail will be on the menu in the Qantas First Lounges during May and June?

Coughtail?

Coughtail?

Ugh, it looks like some sort of automatic filter/censor didn't like the first part of that word

I was looking at the ingredients trying to parse which ingredient turned this into a coughtail. I would definitely try it if available.

Maybe someone going through soon can ask the lounge?

My next trip out is 3 weeks away still.

I’m passing through on Thursday and then again next Friday. I’ll see if there is anything special going on.

ANZAC biscuits and Two-up?

Presumably the QF Lounge is exempt from no booze before noon on ANZAC Day?

No!

Personal experience...

Four champagnes on offer now in the SYD F lounge

See there is no way I could describe champagne that way. I had a glass of all 3 and I cannot tell one from the other. In fact as I said they all taste the same so you probably could have given me some cheap Cuvee/sparkling and I would not have known the difference. The day I can tell the...

No!

Someone recently quizzed about Good Friday but the bar does open but standing room only! (from personal experience - never to be repeated).

The First lounge was not serving Alcohol until Midday due to it being ANZAC day. However, on boarding (back then before Noon) they were happy to serve Bubbles to First PAX.

IIRC, there was a tech. issue and we were deboarded for a couple of hours - back to the First lounge and more bubbles as it was then afternoon.

Good thing I'm not flying out of SYD until the evening on Thursday. I was under the impression they could serve drinks with food but perhaps that's just some states?

My understanding is that in NSW all pubs and bars are closed until noon on ANZAC Day.

Yes, in VIC, generally only armed services affiliated (e.g. RSL's) can trade before Noon.

Was also the only option at 4pm today. Nothing Anzac special in the first lounge today. Passed through the OOL Qantas Club earlier and they had really nice ANZAC cookies (probably the first nice thing said about that place).
