J Evening "Refreshment"

[BD1959]

Hi All,

I've a couple of post 20:00 J flights coming up: QF636 MEL-BNE and QF497 SYD-MEL.

TBH I don't expect anything on the 497 (except a bit of peace'n'quiet!) - can anyone please advise as to what I can expect to be served as "refreshment" on the 636?

Regards,

BD

Interesting there's no feedback here.

I used to be a regular on the last SYD-MEL of the day but normally in economy and it was in the period 25 to 15 years ago.

If you're in J you probably will still get a full meal - whereas in economy you'll get something you'd normally receive on a regional Dash-8 flight as opposed to a 'dinner' flight a couple of hours earlier where you will get a full meal such as lamb biryani or butter chicken.

Yes, I'm in J - per the Thread Title ...

Thanks for the info. Had a recent "Y evening refreshment" on MEL-ADL - resembled something VA would have been proud to offer as a snack ...

On a recent 9pm MEL-SYD got a Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni.

Was ok but glad id grabbed a plate in the Biz Lounge prior

Supper flights are a choice of a hot option, soup or cheese.

The last time I did QF497, I had the dumplings as the hot option.

Here are some of the current supper options

• Caramelised masterstock braised pork belly with jasmine rice and steamed gailan.
  
  
• Spinach and ricotta cannelloni with tomato ragu and basil pesto.
  
  
• Pie of slow braised beef, mushroom and shiraz with roasted potatoes and tomato relish.
  
  
• Pork and native green dumplings with stir fried Asian greens and salted chilli.
  
  
• Fried rice with char siu pork, ginger and shallot.
  
  
• Nasi goreng with chicken. Fried egg and shallots.

It's a few months ago now but we had full meals offered on a post 20:00 flight up from SYDNEY to BNE. Pasta of some kind if I remember rightly.

Well Qantas seems to have picked up its game if that's what's available on domestic supper flights now

Wasn't it previously a choice of soup, a salad or a cheese box?

That's all we've ever been offered.

I thought the same. Mind you I haven't had a late evening domestic departure for a good six months now.

I'll check with the brains in the family. He'll remember better than me!

QF SYD - MEL, while not the same as yours, I have done a 6pm, in Y and got a boxed pasta meal.
In J, about that time, would have to full meal service, and I would not expect anything less.
But you will have lounge access, and by the time you fly, maybe the MEL QFd J lounge would have finished being refreshed/updated/changed.
In Y apart from lunch/dinner, I would expect 5 crackers oblong crackers and a dip, maybe a muffin...
But in J, it would be better.
QF when I have flown J after coming back from NZ, east coast Au to ADL in the evenings, have never disappointed.

Thanks for the responses everyone.

Have now concluded this little jaunt - mostly as described above, light (substantial over Y) snacks including soups or cheese.

I've posted details (including photo for each) in the Domestic and International Business Class meals thread

and

QF497
