The menu reset used to be every 4 months - Nov, Mar, Jul - It feels like it has slipped to 6 months - Nov and April? No inside knowledge.

The number of menu items feels like they have been halved. You see many more of the same items cropping up across multiple destinations.

Although, to be fair, the quality has improved over the last 6-12 months IMO.

The physical paper menu has had a nice subtle refresh by the looks. Flying AKL - DPS now and it is bigger and has a smooth glossy finish which you cant tell from this pic

Mix it with the AF mango margarita! Or something like that. The FA mixed mine accidentally and I quite liked it!! Or ask for a mix with something else... I have actually bought it at the supermarket. I do like coconut but feel like it could probably be spruced up with a bit of something else.

Internationally no. Think only a Koru Hour thing on Domestic. Guess mostly to do with it being a a brand name they can't source at an out station. And most probably to bulky and heavy to preship shipping containers to the outstations for.

Does anyone know what wines are served in Y+ these days? Are they the ones from Y or J?

NZ284 AKL-SIN

I have to say this is quite possibly my first ever NZ flight where I've been happy with all the courses I was served. The meats for both mains were juicy and tender.

Wickstead cocktail was yum too.

Meals NZ 282

NZ 282 restarts at the start of April, leaving at 2355hrs.
Does anyone know what the meal service is on this flight - is it full dinner service and breakfast or just a snack and breakfast.
Any old menus?
thanks

I'm flying it mid May. Not really looking forward to it as I much prefer day drinking champers on the day flight up
​​​​​​.. But given the option of guaranteed R class or joining the lottery for the day flight I opted for it.

I think a full dinner meal service will be available if wanted, and there might also be a Fast Dine option ?? I think the flights leaving the US to AKL have this

Id assume there will be a full breakfast service as well.

it was full service last year in August for me, flight left an hour later than scheduled and I did not entertain a meal. There was fast dine from memory.
