I have just returned on Feb. 27th. having flown business class from London Heathrow to Melbourne via Singapore and return QF1, QF 36 and QF37, QF2 paying £5500 for the extra “comfort”.
The food and drink quality was shockingly, abysmally poor. I have had better quality food and service on Easyjet and Jet2 holiday packages. Last year I flew Cathay Pacific premium economy which was superior to Qantas business in every department.
Breakfast on the Singapore/Melbourne leg was basically a no choice affair so I had a small bread roll with the most flaccid bacon and hard fried egg which was cold, sent it back and the replacement was no better! Breakfast on the return flight was cold scrambled egg, cold baked beans and this time, incinerated bacon with a stale bread roll. I’d given up sending the food back by this stage.
Take no notice of Qantas’s advertised meal photos, main meals were served on 7″ plates so the food portions appear much larger! The veg, usually French beans were always undercooked. The steak and chicken portions served with the main meals measured barely 2″ in width. Thinking the salad was a mixed leaf, tomato/peppers affair I was shocked when it appeared in a small 3″ bowl with just rocket lettuce and balsamic vinegar. Surly staff members didn’t enhance the experience.
Forget the “luxury” amenity packs, basically just ear and eye pads and toothpaste. waste of time.
