Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

[PERLHR]

If they served breakfast on a 5 hout flight and you got 2 pancakes or 2 waffles because of no choice you'd complain. Trust me.

Missing the point. Other airlines can do it....just not in Australia.! Pasta at 09.30am is ridiculous and is beef ragau for your 1500 dollars ticket.

Do you have a chance to delay your main meal on that 5hr flight like at back end of flight?
Suppose it adds to the cleaning up process for crew.

they have hours to clean up! Seriously.... VA say they want to keep elites those who fly with them regularly. Not on this evidence. ..this flight is long. It's only going to be about 45 mins shorter than some standard Europe to Doha...indeed longer than others. . I don't need reminding what you get even on a Qatar A320!!

Not really as I'm directly responding to what you commented. You didn't mention any other airlines with your previous statement.

Nope you don't.

You're comparing a domestic flight LCC vs QR which is a full service airline who offers dine on demand. Not the same category.

Qf don't offer dine on demand on short haul.

I think that's the issue though ..VA market Business Class...not a "LCC up the front "product. They also can charge very much Business Class fares east to west and back. The flight length is a due consideration. It does not need to be dine on demand ....although again for 8 pax, come to think about it...why not!!

Yeah, i mean you don’t have to serve ‘lunch’ at 945am. You could serve a round of drinks… mimosas, coffees/teas, followed by the lunch service 2 hours in.

Would that suit everyone? perhaps not pax wanting to maximise work or sleep time.

Back in ye olde days Qantas first used to serve a hot brekkie out of MEL/SYD on the way to perth, and then about an hour before landing you had a canapé style hot snack/brunch with things like dim sum and wantons. Served off a tray and you could pick the items you wanted.
