SNA_Flyer: Lucky dog. I flew QF Business from LAX-SYD earlier this year and found the service to be wonderful.

"Piper Heidsieck (which I think is still a pretty good champagne) during pre-takeoff (probably as they also serve it in the business class section)." - I think we did.

By the way, was the lounge you used at LAX the Qantas Club or a dedicated FDirst Class lounge for QF and BA???

I look forward to your return report...
