Australia (SYD) to Australia (MEL), 12 Oct 2017

Business Class

Dinner , Special meal: no
I don't like the A330 on international routes as I believe it's a way inferior product to A380 or the 747 even but was delighted to fly on it for this one hour leg. The entire crew was very fun but professional at the same time on this flight so exactly how I like it on Qantas. I was in 5A which was a window seat and still got selection between the two meal types, one was a hot lamb dish and the other a cold salad as per usual. The salad sounded really scary me and my partner agreed (I think it was green been with artichoke, yikes, I really wonder who comes up with weird ideas like that!) so happily chose the lamb. Lamb is always a bit of a hit and miss but this one was actually really nice while a bit too fatty (which is better than dried out on an airplane if you ask me!). It was served with some steamed broccoli (which had a healthy serving of pure stalks in there, again yikes, those parts usually go into the bin or a soup if I'm in the kitchen...) and other steamed veggie which had the effect that the entire lamb was sitting in a lake of veggie steam juice. I guess the latter is hard to avoid if you heat them both up in the same container as they do on domestic flights so what can you do. The lamb came with a super nice Aioli sauce which matched very nicely and enhanced the flavor of this meal. All in all not too shabby at all, I enjoyed it and the Aussie Shiraz that was served with it was a perfect match (sorry, don't remember the exact brand but it had an unusually colorful label on the bottle).

Nice Aussie Shiraz

Adequate
