Thank you very much for a fine trip report Kiwi Flyer I look forward to all your Christmas reports and try to hold off until mid-January before I start reading them.
I must admit that people keep saying that First Class is not worth the airlines in keeping, my only remembered trip in QF First was good but Mrs Blackcloud and I did not think it was enough over Business Class with First Lounge access.
From your report and the menus, I keep thinking of ways on how to travel it.
