QF34 PER-SYD Fri 13 June 789 VH-ZNK "Gangurru" sched dep 1030 actual pushback 1106(engineering issue) takeoff 1125(03).
Another work trip to SYD, but with the pleasure of MrsDrJ’s company this time. Waited a while to get underway, and unfortunately didn’t make up the time (though given recent events in India, very thankful that this 787 had a smooth, safe flight). Good to be in real J again, very good service by CSM Michelle and FA Amanda, who coped well with the demands of a very full and busy J cabin.

Swift service of PDB of Jacquart, IMO the best of the J inflight Champagnes.
The menu:

Good to see the short rib still on the menu, albeit with slightly different accompaniments to QF33 3 weeks ago. Was even better though with a good portion of very tender beef, one of the best J mains I have had in a long time. As the reds on offer didn't sound inspiring, stuck with the Jacquart which paired surprisingly well with the meat.
MrsDrJ had the prawn salad and gave it the thumbs up.

Closed the innings with the usual int J cheese platter, and was happy to help the crew deal with the problem of an unfinished bottle of Jacquart. The advertised "french press coffee" turned out to be unavailable, so passed on the not so great standard brewed coffee.
Overall a very good flight.
