Yes, have heard about a la carte, etc, however the reality is quite different. The old boxes have definetely gone, however that’s about all.
Only last week travelled Melbourne to Brisbane departing at lunchtime ( 12:05 ). I figured we would get a hot meal as widely broadcast and even on the QF website and also over the inflight monitors. Well we ended up with cold and soggy bread roll sandwiches.
Return flight from BNE to MEL was early afternoon ( 13:50 departure) and again expected something decent. No meal in a box and only a choice between a muffin or two fancy packed biscuits. This ala carte Qantas style. What a joke.
Maybe a cup of coffee or tea is what Qantas consider a HOT MEAL !!
I fly QF regularly within OZ and on some international routes where choices are limited and all I can say is that they full of cr????p.
