I was in J SYD-BNE-SYD again this week. Food still unimpressive compared to pre-COVID despite every plane being full. For example, dinner was 2 options - parmigana chicken or cheese tortellini. I had the pasta, which came with a single love heart chocolate and a cheese and cracker pack (which have been reduced to three pieces of cheese and three crackers vs Qantas still having 5). Pretty mean and looked it. Wine options were good. Cost was just over $500 each way booked well in advance, circa $879 each way on day. Not cheap but much cheaper than Qantas. I am hoping to see some improvements as margins and competition increases. Mind you only Rex is cheaper in J but don't have the frequency.
