Qantas international Economy Class meals

Evening Trans Tasman flight here - I was looking forward to the focaccia but it wasn't served, nor was a 'dessert' - only crackers and cheese which I though was a strange choice for an evening flight.

I dont think there is usually a dessert, just a lindt chocolate ball towards the end. We've definitely never had a dessert on trans tasman.

I did notice the drinks service trolley had lots of spirits available, is that usual for Y or is that an improvement?

That's normal

A few years ago I did a OWA in Y.
Right from the outset I had requested kosher meals on all segments - just as a laugh to see how different the meals were to the regular Y offering.

I'd definitely recommend it! Not only did they come out first, but they were absolutely delicious and plentiful.

Amusing side story...LHR to JFK a seriously religious Jewish family were seated in the row in front. Along comes the hostie with the kosher meals - clearly destined for the most obvious recipients! Nope, I needed to raise my hand "they're mine", the token Aussie bogan clearly experimenting with meal choices.
The family in front hadn't ordered any meal at all so wasn't as if I was stealing their meals

It really is a shame that Qantas stopped this on domestic economy for flights under 2.5 hours (which most passengers will be flying)

Had the new tray on QF35 to SIN last week
Needs some grips on the bottom as it kept sliding around.

I fully agree.

Its super grippy on top of the tray but the tray itself decides to slide around easily.

QF44 DPS-SYD on 27 April

Tasted surprisingly good. Served just after takeoff. I wonder if it is cooked/prepared in Bali because I was seriously impressed.

They also provided a small muffin just before arrival, but I did not take a picture of it.

The only annoying thing is the lights off time to allow sleep is short, but that is the nature of overnight flights from DPS to Australia.
