Comments: Expected the pre-dinner peanut snack but did not arrive (-1), plastic knife (-1), printed menu for short flight economy (+1), real wine glass (+1), cold bread roll (-1)
Beef was dry. Requested 2 drinks at the start (to save the FA a second trip later on) but was reluctant to give me 2 drinks. She later relented. I didn't think 2 drinks was too much for a 3 hour flight. I don't drink coffee or tea either. Service could have been better.

Route: BNE to MEL, 17 Feb 2004
Ticket price: AU$ 319 Flight duration: 2 hrs
Aircraft type & class: 737- 4 00 Economy
Business or leisure trip: Business
Meal type: Dinner - Salad with tandoori chicken and chick peas, with mint and yoghurt dressing, bread roll and a small pack of mints
Drink: water, tea and coffee and choice of beer or wine - I had a Lindemanns Chardonnay drink, spirits extra
Comments: Salad was very nice and filling for the flight. Glass of complimentary wine was very welcome; Qantas offer free wine and beer on all domestic flights departing after 4pm. Difficult to raise a smile or much enthusiasm from the flight crew - they really didn't seem to relish the prospect of flying to my home town, Melbourne!

Meal type: lunch
Contents: coke with almonds, followed by canapes. Chocolate cake with cream followed by hot chocolate with truffles
Drink: coke, water
Comment: forgot to take pics of the other courses. Canapes were just handed to me and contained fish, so I didn't eat them. Chocolate cake was good, as was the hot chocolate, however the starter and main course were bad.
Presentation also pretty simple.
