The great QF AVML challenge

[badseed]

I'm vegan and well acquainted with the QF greatest hits. Strangely enough, they mess it up less in Y than J.A couple of years back I was flying with a family friend who is CL, and we were connecting in SYD. My J meal had gone missing and he certainly gave the CL staff a piece of his mind. On the subsequent SYD - TSV leg they double catered for me just to make sure.Still, better than the mixed nuts and beer dinner in J on VA.

Just realised I used the wrong meal code. I have corrected it to AVML (Asian vegetarian)

Flight #5

We are off to a good start. Brooke was the team leader on my last flight yesterday and she made a point of letting today's TL know about the stuff ups.

Breakfast:



The regular meal was a cheddar and bacon omelette.

I think I have the same crew for the rest of the day, so here's hoping.

Flight #6

The regular choice was a fruit plate or bacon and eggs with fried mushrooms and tomato ragout

2 from 2 QF

Posting so I can follow this thread with interest. Hope QF prove you wrong with the selection and also DON'T allow you near nuts...

Looking forward to the next installment.

Flight #7

My first repeat (from 4 actual meals)



The J cabin was offered salmon with a caper sauce, beans and mashed potatoes or cinnamon scented lamb with vegetables.

One more to go for today.

Flight #8

Last one for the day ...



The regular meal offering was a prawn coughtail.

So far the regular meal has been repeated once, as has my AVML. Although I haven't had as many!

A great crew today that were happy to accept me getting on and off their aircraft. A bit like a private jet, one remarked.

I've liked the look of all the meals thus far - I'd order any of them if they were on offer.

I only ate the bread from #6. I have had this meal in the past, and it was pretty ordinary then as now.

I had a call for the exec relations team this afternoon, apologising for the meal stuff ups. We had a good chat, and so now I have a contact for this sort of thing in the future.

Well I know who to suck up to when they get my meal wrong...

Flight #9

An early start to the day and a pleasant breakfast awaited.



The regular meal was a cherry tomato, feta and basil omelette with lamb sausages.

So far so good.

 

[JessicaTam]

As an aside, there is an interesting seat map for my next flight.



Economy is fairly full with only 3-4 blocked seats.

 

[QF WP]

Wow, you're that important they blocked off the whole side of J for you.

Are the flights posting to your QFF account in appropriate timeframe?

 

[JessicaTam]

The flights are posting and I am hopeful the ASA corrections follow soon.

All the AKL ASA flights took a couple of days.

Breakfast look good

 

[blackcat20]

Breakfast look good

It does, I'd certainly be happy with that.

Flight #10

It seems I spoke too soon:



My second repeat meal, and my least favourite. So I chose some bubbles to help it go down.



The regular selection was a choice between a fruit platter and poached eggs with bacon and a pork sausage.

Yesterday I had the same aircraft all day, and it was also my first today (VH-YQT). Whilst this morning I arrived and departed SYD from the same gate, I have a new plane - VH-YQS.

Hmmm, this thread is sounding more like a trip report so I might have to move it...

 

[amaroo]

Excellent thread

Have never ordered a special meal .... however, I have a high flying client that always orders Hindu or Kosher - apparently always guaranteed to get fish or lamb.
