Great to see reminders that Doug Parker is part of the QF leadership

Oh That sucks! I had hot breakfasts (snacks) on my last two MEL-SYDs!

Thats not filling enough but true its after 9am breakfast service

Well QF breakfast for me is almost the same as VA. I would have flown VA for this route, but I only flew QF as it was part of an international itinerary. I posted the international Y meals on subsequent flight on the other thread.

The first meal with beef, the pretzels, ice cream and cookie were OK. The mash potato tasted very average.

The second/light pasta meal looked bad, tasted bad ......

No photos but I only received a packet of crackers and hummus dip on QF490 last Sunday from MEL to SYD which departed at 7:15pm.

Was expecting a hot snack (perhaps a pie or something) so I was a bit disappointed. I am sure a lot of punters feel the same way as it is a dinner time departure.

Hopefully this is a one off as we had a last minute swap to an A333 (from an intl configured A332) which they had to bring down from SYD so it might have messed up the catering.

Im pretty sure on SYD-MEL/MEL-SYD dinner is only served on flight with a departure time between 17:30 and 18:59 which is cheeky.

These are good.

SYD-MQL dep 10:25 am - all we received was a solitary banana flavored Byron Bay cookie ... there was however a second round of the drinks cart.

QF are really pushing the Q400 out to it's max - SYD-MQL was one of the longest hops at 800 km +, but now we've got both BNE to CBR and WGA, both at ~1,000 km.

I'd like to show a photo, but there was nothing to show on our E190 flights (which are still full price)
CBR-BNE Sunday 12.30pm departure and all that was provided was a cookie and water.
BNE-CBR Tonight Friday 7.20pm, same again - just a 'snack'. And no streaming

The Canberra tax is alive and well.
