Meal times on short sectors

[anat0l]

Does anyone know what the 'meal times' are for Virgin Australia flights?

Of course, this really only applies to Business Class.

I know that the Coast-to-Coast operations are quite set (and times given), but what about shorter sectors? I'm more interested in learning about flights in the golden triangle.

I know the ones for Qantas are based on departure time and are pre-0830 for breakfast, 1200-1330 for lunch and 1800-2000 for dinner, with the rest of the times being refreshments. Is this the same schedule for Virgin Australia?

The Virgin Australia booking website (or at least the award engine which I'm using) doesn't tell you this information. I also can't find any meal timing details in the service on board sections.

i believe meal times are something like this -

flights under 3 hrs which are scheduled to depart within these times
J CLASS meal times


Breakfast - first flight of the day till 830am
Morning Snack - 830am to midday
Lunch - midday to 2pm
Afternoon snack - 2pm to 6pm
Dinner - 6pm to 8pm
Evening snack - 8pm onwards



flights over 3 hrs which are scheduled to depart within these times

Breakfast - first flight of the day till 930am
Lunch - 930am to 4pm
Dinner - 4pm onwards
Supper & breakfast - redeye flights

DRW-SYD
DRW-MEL
BNE-DRW
MEL-PER
DRW-PER (Not Sure?)

There was certainly no dinner service on the 6pm SYD-MEL on Friday. It was a cheese plate and piece of cake - mind you it was very nice and I was going out for dinner on arrival, so it suited me perfectly. However, had I not been going out for dinner I would have been quite disappointed.

Personally I think on any flight after 5:30 then dinner should be available - sure, have a cheese plate as an option, but also have at least one proper meal option as well.

Just did SYD-MEL at 3:30pm and MEL-OOL at 6:45pm both in J.

Afternoon flight was some fresh Vietnamese spring rolls, cheese and crackers and carrot cake (all of them, not a choice of those) and night flight was a choice between vegetarian pasta and Moroccan lamb with cous cous, both served with bread, salad, chocolates and wine/drinks.

Very impressed

I've been wondering the same thing myself, but can't find any information from Virgin.
