High Tea

[KCMil]

Just saw this pop up on a social media site. Would love to know if anyone from AusFF was able to experience it!

I am a little tired of the heavy meals on flights, would love to see this in J class on say 3hr+ flights as an afternoon or mid morning service.

Used to serve scones in First on TAA in the good old days

"The special flight marked Luke Mangan’s three year anniversary with Virgin Australia"

I wouldn't be celebrating that.......

The meals in Business I had over the weekend for MEL-BNE-MEL were pretty decent and they were both 'snack' services. The service from the crew was also decent overall I was quite pleased.

Although, the ideas of scones as the meal for a snack services is a good one!

This looked ok:

This is the sort of service any Platinum should expect isn't it? (VA555 this morning) :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Damn! I was flying the exact same flight in J about 1.5 weeks ago.


Anyway VA trans-con J is fantastic domestic J product. I had the new config (same as SQ regional J) and everything was great, including the lunch.

I haven't tried QF dom J yet so cannot compare whether QF dom J is better or not.

It is Ok if there is an alternative for people who don't like Scones and cucumber sandwiches.

Can anyone please direct me to the ' Luke Mangan free zone ' ......... What a waste of money and joke the whole ' Luke Luke Luke ' thing is .......... Save us .......please

I think this would be a great option, so long as it supported a full meal service on the SYD PER flight. Its a darn long flight to be served a couple of sambo quarters and a scone.

Also anyone think those people in the media pictures actually look a little bit too perfect to be regular pax? Or are my flights normally just full of uglies?

Heavy meals? I always think they need to be heavier!

Present company excluded, of course..

Of course! Are there are ugly AFFers anyway?

I love Devonshire tea as long as the tea is made properly and is hot, the scones are fresh and warm, and clotted cream (not the awful whipped variety ) and strawberry jam are used. Hopefully VA was to this standard.

If VA can extend this beyond this Mangan celebration, then I will be pleased. But it also important to have choice too. Maybe I would fly VA more as well.

On my very first Qantas flight overseas in 1983 we were served afternoon tea mid flight after a full lunch! It was the full scones, jam and cream type! Yum ! As the Coodabeens say 'bring it back'!

High tea is fine if people are offered something with protein, scones with jam and cream is not my cup of tea.

If I want a sandwich and biscuit to masquerade as a meal, then I will fly transcon on a LCC, and BOB thankyou very much.

So I'm supposed to believe that not only did he make everything that was served, he also helped with serving it... seems a little far fetched. As for scones, they used to serve them in the J lounge... those were good, fat days

If scones is all that is offered I would ask for something from BOB as scones are insulting to me in Business.

I didn't think that Virgin offered a BOB food menu in Y on transcon flights anymore!

Oh please, as if they'd only offer high tea on a trans con J flight. No need to rubbish everything VA does when all you have is a single PR photo.

On any flight I would find scones a cop out in business if nothing else was offered.
