Why do people see the negative with QF changes while airlines like SQ get rave reviews for doing things like "Book the Cook"?
Personally I think one of the minor pleasures of a long flight is getting on the plane, perusing the menu, and deciding what you want to eat. Given a long time with not much to do, the brief distraction of puzzling my altitude-addled brain over whether it wants the chicken or the beef is a couple of minutes I'd be loath to shift to spend on the ground 72 hours ahead of time.

I haven't looked at the SQ Book The Cook option but I've looked at it on Thai Airways. Seeing the options on the ground made me realise that the food in Thai Royal First is depressingly similar to the seven-buck Thai restaurant near my office...
