I noticed the Voya toiletries in a trip report showing the A380 shower suite the other day.

These have been around for a few months now - certainly since November for the VOYA and around Xmas for the Chocs.

I got them in J to JFK just a couple weeks back. I believe this was also reported on another thread.

I think the Neuhaus are just another installment of the chocolate brand rotation that's been happening over the past couple of years. Quite nice though.

OK, they were there on my flight to JFK as well so probably network wide. That's a good thing - I used to really like them during my chocolate binging days so I hope they stay. Planning to carry back a couple of boxes for my daughter.

What's the opinion of the J class food at the moment? IMO, it seemed to have improved quite a bit on my recent flights.

There was a prawn curry of some sort on the MAN-DXB leg that was fantastic... lovely and spicy, with lots of prawns. The DXB-BKK leg had chicken curry which was great again.

The returns weren't quite as nice, but sill pretty good.

I agree! I have never been overly impressed by their J food until my most recent flights in August. I also thought the wine choices were much much nicer than before.

Seems to be better. I tried the lamb shanks on my BOM-DXB leg which was quite nice and so decided to try both the meals on DXB-JFK in flight instead of eating at the lounge (which had standard fare and nothing interesting). The curry options seem to be definitely less oily than before.

Flew DXB-PVG-DXB last week in J, and I had an AVML request. I got some great Indian food - chickpeas curry, naan and some gulab jamuns. Something similar in the return, can't remember what exactly but the meal was great.

I am finding that the word curry is on most of the menus the past year, you used to always have this on the Indian sub continent sectors but even out of London, Hong Kong and even Tokyo.

I'm finding the variety lacks on the menus you can almost guess the reworded options, but the taste is still good.

I just worry about curry on a long sector as some ingredient in some render a through action more likely which is unpleasant in the small cupboards they call toilets.

Would love to see pre-select main meal option being possible. Can only wish and keep suggesting it.
