Koru Hour Cheese Cuts
A few years ago the Koru hour cheese plate consisted of three crackers, two large pieces of cheese and some grapes.
In 2009, the three crackers suddenly became just two crackers, although Air NZ spun it as being just temporary to the NBR - http://www.nbr.co.nz/article/air-new...er-gate-116255.
Then about a year ago, the grapes vanished.
And last night, flying back to AKL I noticed that one of the cheese slices has now been cut in two. No doubt cutting the camembert in half will save a fortune.
Perhaps Air NZ are learning from the airline that cut an olive from every meal?
What will be cut next?

Often in BP they serve a mountain of cheese with just the 2 crackers...a la Koru Hour. Never a problem to get more but I often wonder about wasted time walking back from 7A to the galley.

Talking about cheeses on my last visit to the AKL lounge I noticed the cheese has been downgraded to cheese slices. Not sure if this is the decision is by AirNZ or the catering contractor SkyCity, or maybe AirNZ cutting cost and the cheese gets it.
At least ex SYD, superior cheeses can be found at the *A SQ lounge.
