Qantas domestic economy meals

[Assassin]

Flying QF923 CNS-SYD last Saturday (depart 12.40 arrive 16:35) the only food was four arancini balls. Didn't get a photo. How is that an appropriate meal for a 3 hour flight over lunch time?

Slop in a box ?

Agreed.
I had the yoghurt/banana bread which was good for a light breakfast.

A heck of a lot of sugar though.

Heck lot of sugar or heck lot of salt.

In the absence of prearranging a SPML, choose your poison.

QF612 MEL to BNE

Looks like what I had on the QF1287 earlier this week between BNE and MEL. The Lindt ball was nice - can't remember the last time I was on a Qantas flight where they were handed out. Seemed to be much more common a few years ago (along with a proper hot meal in economy).

Last night flew QF550 in the middle of dinner and it was just cheese and crackers which was fine as I was not hungry but would be disappointed if I wanted some food.

Yes it was heated up, tonight's snack was also heated up as well but by the time I got it, it was just lukewarm.

Tonight - QF633 BNE to MEL

This was actually really good. Put it in a bowl and would be better than many J domestic meals. Other option was Hungarian stew with vegetables. No mention about the type of meat.

Hungarian stew... if it was goulash, it would typically be beef. Assumed served with some random vegetables and mash.

Pay for it later but I'd have a crack at that!

Retail at a supermarket perhaps. In commercial quantities the mind boggles at how little QF is spending on catering.

I would say 75 cents Qantas are paying for that food 20 cents for the drink

That must mean the whole food unit costs mere cents to make. That's pretty extraordinary!

If they flogged that at retail, to say they'd be making a motza would be completely understating it.

5pm departure on a Dash 8 from CBR to MEL. Anyone on this flight is going to miss dinner. QF can do better than this surely?!

I fly a lot of regional flights. The are actually very tasty. I would like to find that onion relish No kitchen on the dash 8 400 so you just have to suck it up. Mostly give you a wine or beer though. Luckily I have access to the lounges. Can’t blame Qantas for the aircraft unfortunately, especially for an hour in the air.
