Noticed there is no option to advance order your meal. Did QF discontinue advance ordering?
The Flight details only allow special food types - veggie, kosher, etc.

Why would QF discontinue advance order for First? It was previously offered.
So QF adds International Economy, but discontinues International First pre-orders?

It did not appear within the 7 day window for me recently, on a LAX-SYD flight following a US flight. The return SYD-LAX, following a QF Y flight, did have the option but the crew had no record of my selection onboard.

Not showing up 7 days prior
Does anyone know if it's offered for QF 107/108 passengers who are connecting to/from JFK, or is it only available to those who have the SYD-LAX-SYD sector booked independently?
And might it show up as an option in a few more days?

Here is a link to the list of flights and cabins that can pre order.

The QF107/108 between LAX and JFK is not available.
It has never been offered in First. Only in J then extended to W, and now to Y flights as the new economy service is introduced between now and March.

I ordered the Fish dish, and the other person ordered the veggie option.

Not true. About 1.7 years ago (Feb, 2013), two of us traveled in F on LAX-MEL and we ordered in advance. We were in F since we dined together in one of our F 380 suites, and the FA automatically brought our preordered choice (of course confirming what we ordered when the service started).

The only time I have preordered in First was on QF93 when on the telephone call from the First Lounge the day before I discussed the degustation with that being manually noted

I've pre-ordered once (PE on QF63) and once on the flight, there was no mention of my order. I ended up getting what I ordered anyway (I really wasn't too worried) but it seemed that my online order was completely ignored.
