That actually does look fresh and tasty. I hope itās an option on my next flight.
Flew CBR-SYD-ADL today. Both the Qantas club and business lounge is now open in Canberra which meant the business lounge was very quiet with quick food and drink service. Eggs, toast and sausages was pretty decent and other plated options were plentiful and looked fresh though I didn't pay much attention to what they were.
Coffee and a sweet slice of Chocolate/Oat and Lemon/Yoghurt on the quick Dash 8-400 hop up to Sydney.
Was only a short stop in Sydney Business lounge so didn't eat or drink anything. I was, however, approached by a Qantas 'Customer Experience' person with a notepad. He asked about newspapers and if I would pick one up, if they were reintroduced post-covid, or if I would be more likely to use free digital access through qantas wifi/app. He scribbled a few brief notes in his notepad. I take if form that line of questioning that Qantas are seriously thinking of dropping physical newspapers permanently. Sad as I like picking up the paper in the lounge.
Left the lounge to catch the 12:30ish QF739 to Adelaide. Got to the gate to find no priority boarding and everyone lining up in the business line to board so I joined the queue. The flight was near full with every business seat taken.
No pre-flight drink but meals served pretty quickly, once in the air. Choice of a pork sausage roll or the chickpea, egg, beetroot salad mentioned by others above. Everyone went with the sausage roll until they ran out and consequently the last seat in business was given the salad. Sausage roll was pretty tasty for what it was with a few passengers commenting that it was good.
Service was friendly and professional with the flight attendant having a bit of a chat to everyone. Unfortunately, I got stuck next to a fairly entitled young child that kept butting in and demanding service everytime the flight attendant was about to serve or talk to me and his large laptop obstructed the flight attendant pouring my wine etc.
Flight attendant did a second round of the cabin to offer tea/coffee, or in my case a wine refill, before an announcement was made over the PA that 'meal service was over' and we were all told to put our masks back on, including in business. Hrmph.
This was a bid now upgrade, and overall it was a passable flight, but I wouldn't pay for the 'experience' over Qantas economy.
