I don't know if SYD-NRT catering has been downgraded or not (it sounds like the evening meal has indeed been downgraded, based on what was reported in this thread, although breakfast seems to have remained intact, as it always was), although NRT-SYD that I flew definitely had the major catering downgrade. I do not think there was even a room service-style breakfast.

Hey LTN Phobia, did you mention anything on board or afterwards? I know you're not the complaining type, but if no one says anything then it's unlikely to change. What tends to get more of a reaction is if you complain to Neil Perry (twitter/insta/fb), I know he gets unhappy when QF dumb down his food by stripping the budget, and he is more likely to try and improve it than QF are.

I suppose it's not so much about the food quality but the type/quantity of food on offer, NP may not be able to have much influence?

What I find perplexing is that;
- On this flight, Y get a choice of Hot Western or Hot Japanese breakfast
- In J from PVG (similar flight length), the flight has the full breakfast offering
.......so why does QF offer a lesser service in J on QF22? It is bizarre.

I still cannot get over the fact that JQ stuff your face with a lot of food in *class (I know it's an old name but I just cannot bring myself to calling it Business) between NRT and Australia, yet QF J to SYD, which cost a lot more and around the same departure time as JQ OOL or CNS, feed you a tiny amount of food.
I suppose QF J is a bed class and JQ *class is eating class (the food isn't terrible either, although not wonderful).

My experience here, following a wonderful flight with Finnair from CDG to BKK, then on to the most lacklustre J flight I've ever taken.
