Qantas Business Class meals & menus

I'm in my 70s and I rarely have dinner before 7pm - usually later

My parents suffer the AC Resthaven “demanding” dinner at 5pm

My mother protests by eating in her room

Flew IB Express yesterday from Naples to Madrid in business and this low cost carrier puts Qantas to shame with an amazing lunch of tuna and tomato as an appetiser and then ravioli with cheese and asparagus which was absolutely delicious and served with a fresh crunchy bread roll and finished with a lemon mouse topped with chocolate….cannot understand for the life of me why it’s so difficult for Qantas to have edible meals no matter the time of day….this flight was a 2.50pm departure

Alas it’s not; it’s a choice. $$$.

They know they can and will continue to get away with it, too.

It’s not really an LCC though, it’s basically Iberia with a cheaper crew - eg Qantaslink.

I always enjoy Euro business on IB / BA and find its way better value than QF. I can live without a bigger seat when the soft product is good.

QF1292 HBA-MEL. Breakfast options omelette with suasage or halloumi and vege thing with bacon and spinach. It was acceptable.

Side thing of feta and something was cheap cafe quality.

Cawfee was from a packet but not too bad. The CSM looked after me, bumps out of HBA for 20 mins meant an express meal service


QF155 MEL-AKL. Qantas strikes again, 4 brisket meals loaded, all taken by row 1. .

Chicken was ok for an economy meal; thigh meat, totally limp worn out beans, uninspiring piece of cheese

Side dish of salmon and potato salad was good.

CSM stated catering ex AUS was typical of not loading plenty of both meals.
Maggie Beer ice cream and SA Shiraz both exceptional.

First of 3 such trips, have now learnt to take row 1 and put up with no bags at feet.

Welcome to the world of extreme QF catering cost cutting! I think the only way QF would improve/restore the catering is if
a) they get too many complaints from Business passengers (I now always lodge a complaint if they run out of meals or if the quality is miserable)
b) people start moving away from QF Business, either by going to other carriers or downgrading to Economy.

So many emoticons I could use here. How awful - now back OT

Part of the QF domestic J food problem is the lack of variety over the years. It's a continued variation of the same things and it just gets boring. I'd love to see some south east Asian options. Maybe Japanese too. Some sushi rolls for a fresher lunch time service would be amazing!

Agree, but would never get past row 1!

The quickest solution to reduce waste and fulfill customers needs on QF is to introduce meal pre-ordering option on flights, which guarantees your meal choice 24 hours before takeoff.
