This was salmon salad back in 2015

I’ve been flying PER-SYD and the meals have been awful. I bought a sandwhich in town to eat last (Conti Deli flight The prosciutto salad is ok and the cheese is nice but the mains are consistently cheap slop just in better crockery, and the ‘’roast chicken’ is actually worse that the stir fry slop. Wine is thin and seems to be about $20 a bottle. I’ve been flying Emirates/Qatar F/J internationally for work last several years so have been spoiled. I used to fly SYD-ADL before and food & wine was at an entirely different level. Normally I just wouldn’t eat but it’s a longer flight.

Curry chicken pie or ploughmans plate.
---

The ploughman's plate is so disjointed - as in crackers, to other foods ratio - its half way there, but come on !! FFS

Has anyone had the Lamb Pie with mushy peas that is on rotation ??

SYD-HBA 08:45 flight, 737. Two options:

Omelette with kale. (Reportedly "quite good").


"Brunch plate" - prosciutto and bread roll.

Initially thought this was a little underwhelming as an option for a 2 hour flight, but was very pleasantly surprised. Bread was fresh and full of a very nice cream goat cheese filling. Prosciutto was also nice and fresh. Good lighter option.

Excellent service. Good flight.

I've had variants of this a few times, both on international (WLG-BNE on the E-Jet) and domestically, and I've always found it pretty tasty (though the FAs often are a bit apologetic about it). One of the more reliable options in my experience.

I haven't flown to/from PER in a while but have found the quality of the wine options on QF biz, both domestically and internationally, has really declined significantly.
Lots of the same old producers again and again (does Qantas have shares in Forest Hill estate?!) and minimal choice. You'd think that on long-haul at least, Qantas could manage to offer a pinot noir occasionally in addition to the omnipresent heavy shiraz (especially given all the trends in wine consumption point to people preferring lighter reds) but QF is stuck in a time warp. No shade to anyone who enjoys classic Aussie shiraz - but it would be nice to have some choice.
