QF1297 MEL-HBA (20:05>21:25)
After a day spent eating and drinking from Auckland to Melbourne, food wasn't really on the radar.
Options were a chicken and mushroom pie with mashed potato or a chesse plate.

I took the cheese plate. which was actually good. The blue was very strong but the cheddar/hard cheese was starting to crust at the edges.

A pack of lavosh more than coped with the amount of cheese.

Grapes were still firm but the nuts were stale.
The dark chocolate went well.

The Shiraz was good but I was past wine appreciation hour by this time.

I had the chicken and mushroom pie on my MEL-SYD flight yesterday. It wasn't bad.

I'm sorry but a few hunks of cheese of varying quality, packaged crackers, a handful of grapes, and stale nuts. This is not a business class meal. Nor is a pie.

At least my expectations are in the gutter for my upcoming flights.

The cheese is generally pretty good! Compared to the offering on CX for example… which really is bland and feels inexpensive. Closing my eyes on CX I couldn’t tell between the three cheeses on offer.

The QF one by comparison is hefty, and tasty.

Agree the nuts are stale… or maybe theyre activated, or it is unactivated? Anyway… they’re not that enticing.

QF29 16/5/26
No real complaints. Check in was a bit arduous given they had 5 flights departing within an hour. Unsurprisingly 2 business class check in desk were not coping.

The crew and food were great on this flight. Burrata to start, they ran out of fish so I had the vegetable green curry which was delicious and had a good amount of spice, cheese and ice cream went down well. Wine pours were generous and forthcoming. Water bottles kept topped up throughout the flight. It’s refreshing when you get a good QF crew who actually love delivering good service.

Will see how it compares to Cathay biz to Tokyo on Tuesday.
