A regular sized bowl of soup as a starter. This soup was very tasty.

Lamb was a very generous serve and tasty, with only a small part a bit gristly. But what possessed anyone to put “crispy” on a Qantas menu. They were tasty though.

Paula the CSM was nice and very sweet service from FA Luisa.

Were the crew okay with providing a soup starter for you? I’ve always wanted to ask but assumed it would be met with a big NO, and have considered asking if they would on those “supper” flights where only a main is offered. Noticed you had a starter and main on QF5 too!

Yes they were very happy to oblige. I have asked for this for years now. Always said I’d be happy with a cup to sample. That’s what I often got it in (including a takeaway cup or a tea cup). But recently it has been offered as a small bowl. So I’m guessing it is more common.

Should be offered proactively on these length flights in my opinion. It is disappointing not to have entrees.

QF30 HKG-MEL

Supper and breakfast apparently. Food and crew were pretty OK but not spectacular or anything to get excited about.

I had the slow cooked beef and trifle for supper. Egg and bacon croissant for breakfast.

It is the little things that kind of let Qantas business class down

I send positive feedback about the staff

serving the food on small plates

and negative feedback about presentation. Agree completely about the small flat plates as noted with my recent QF 40, food was tasty but sauce spilled everywhere @JimmyJ

lack of an entree, no chocolates after dinner.

Always to eat something in the Lounge - if you have the time.

Agree- it’s rather silly and how much can a little bit of soup cost? Though they are, admittedly, often the most tasty thing on the menu.

So, unless it’s pumpkin (), they definitely are “Gourmet” soups

Lack of hot towels (my Cathay flight prior SGN-HKG featured 2 hot towels),

Oh, don’t get me started! For some reason, Qantas crew seems to think they are “unnevessary”. I often see them loaded but standing wrapped in the galley and not handed out- why? Is it that hard to pour some hot water over them and walk down the aisles once to hand them out?

And it’s not only Cathay doing this better- it’s pretty much every airline. Just been on a LATAM flight to SCL and while the rest of the flight was very, cough cough, “mediocre”, they managed to hand out hot towels three times on this 13 hour flight. It’s really not hard!

That would be unusual for hot towels to be loaded, but not handed out. I’m not aware of hot towels being reintroduced for business, but in first, yes.
