The big change coming to Qantas domestic economy

May 10, 2024, 12:28 AM

Funny, I've done Syd-Mel econ a couple of times in the last week and got a nice hot MEAT snack most trips! I was quite impressed. They're quite substantial. Also as per other comments: fully agree about the capitulation to vegans. Meat is a must even on 1 hour flights. Although sadly missin...
