I wonder if you want a good dessert if it's worth ordering a cake for $300

Actually here's a great revenue raising idea. CX should offer sparking wine in J with the option for passengers to purchase champagne.

I'm not sure if CX will help you serve a cake that you bring onboard yourself.

There is now a Lady M boutique near the Wing which probably tops the QF salted caramel cheesecake as best dessert available at HKG

Btw, there was one true 'enhancement': bacon-flavoured nuts! I even asked for a second (on flight to HYD) and tossed it over salad. CX should offer a second serving (as option) to go with the salad.

If I booked a cake, would that ruin my chances of an upgrade?

Premium Economy meal service
Hi all,
Sorry I can't seem to find the answer to this by search. My recollection is that Premium Economy meals are "enhanced" from Economy; that is, the first meal was provided a main course from Business Class.
There doesn't seem to be any reference to this on the CX website, so i am not sure if this is no longer the case. Are the meals in Premium Economy any different to those in Economy? Are there better snacks?
Just curious - about to book an award ticket for a friend....
Thanks!
Joe

For any longhaul PE flight both meals (if there are two) have different main courses from Y
Yes, it may not look like or feel like it, but it is the case.

New Meal Concept and Special Meals???
How do special meals fit into the new J meal concept with the multiple appetizer/entree and anytime choices on Transpacific flights? For instance if I order an HNML on HKG-SEA would I be restricted to only whatever they serve as HNML on the two scheduled meal services, or could I also order off the anytime menu between the two services?

But then, JL offers two beef options (Japanese and Western) on their Delhi flights so I guess anything is possible.

In any case, Hyderabadi Hindus are not necessarily avid pork-eaters either.
