Food
Plenty of food and of good quality.
Drinks/Dinner/Snack/Breakfast on MEL-DXB leg
Breakfast/Drinks/Lunch on DXB-AMS leg
Drinks/Dinner on AMS-DBX leg
Drinks/Lunch/Snack/Breakfast on DXB-MEL leg
The amount of food offered on the DXB-AMS leg seemed disproportionate to the food offered on the AMS-DXB leg. Whilst I realise the return flight is a little shorter the "Drinks service before arrival" into DXB was disappointing. It consisted of a juice and water run on trays. It would be much better in my opinion to offer a full bar run... especially considering the volume of food you get on the DXB-AMS flight.
The food offer on morning flights from DXB to Europe = breakfast + lunch is more than you can expect on a 6-7 hour flight in Y.
On the return flights the promised "Drinks service before arrival" never happens. I don't think that the juice and water runs are the drink service passengers are expecting.
