Longhaul menus are supposed to be visible in MMB, but it is often broken. At the time of publishing, this link works.

This is grotesque. No proper breakfast served for 8 am departure ex BKK, then starve for 10 hours (unless you partake of the unappetising sandwich with rudimentary ingredients) and finally dinner? Unacceptable catering... I'd be extremely annoyed if I flew this to Europe.

WOW, I hated the new flight times, 8:05 is just too early, but not even have a proper meal/breakfast on board is a no go. I mean when and where should one get breakfast before boarding? Leaving the hotel at 5:30/6:00 means no breakfast there, if you are lucky you will have 20min - 30min for a quick bite in one of the lounges. I will bring some cup noodles and ask for boiling water, maybe I bring some spare cups and sell them on board.

Did the QR lounge offer something else than eggs in the morning? Aside from (liquid) salads. As far as I remember they don t have buffet style food, only made to order, am I right?

The JAL lounge serves chicken / beef curry with rice in the morning when I was there last month, might want to give it a try if the QR lounge offering is not to your liking.

The menu in the restaurant was limited but there was a buffet selection as well, fruit, yoghurt, smoked salmon, pastries and a hot section but I didn't take much notice to be honest.

All the food on ay is tiny portions, really sucks for those of us with a big appetite 😀 I guess its time to buy a hamburger meal for the plane 🤦♂️🤣

The BKK - HEL situation is really substandard for a 12,5 hours flight, time between meals about 10 hours, as a first meal the quiche and salad, both are good but without some food in the lounge that would be not enough for me to wait the time without starving. I would recommend everybody to bring own snacks since AY is not stocked very well for a full house in J. Crisps been out after two hours of flight, drinks run low after 8 - 9 hours of flight. Either on the way to Bangkok not on the way back I could get one Gin Tonic, since they run out of Gin 3 hours before landing. Same was with champagne on the way back. On the short haul flight I got one Gin & Tonic - but that was the only one they had on board - for a 5 row J cabin with 100% load.
JAL lounge been the trick in the morning, wide selection and very fast service.

I’ve always found the “one option only” breakfast in J to be laughable especially how much they’re increased their prices these days. Virtually every single airline out there flying 10+ hour flights will offer more than 1 option for breakfast in J.
I ain’t buying the whole “it’s good to know we offer a single option for sustainability” crap.
