Mid-flight snacks are the same as they are now like cheese and crackers, malteasers and the mini sliders. Select on Q works from the menu that is served but will allow you to gaurantee your choice. Crew check which passengers have pre ordered and simply put a sticker on that meal. You'll get served as normal when the cart comes out. One menu option will be exclusive to online. You should never have to miss out on your choice again!!! |

In my case they couldn't get it right in J on an A330, good luck with them coping in a packed economy class cabin. I wouldn't go with Q Eat again.

I can only comment that I use this almost every time I fly, and have never had a problem. Your experience would appear to be an exception.

Here is a link from today's NZ Herald
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/n...ectid=11358001 Not only will meals be bigger by 50 per cent but there will be more choice for passengers, especially those who pre-order online who will have access to a fourth "exclusive" dish such as wagyu beef. Trays will go as part of a business class-style food service, with meals served and cleared more quickly when passengers have finished. There must be a Wagyu glut if they were going to offer it in Y. |

Does this mean you've only tried it once, and it failed on that occasion?

When it happened a second time (as mentioned here) and the cabin crew weren't as interested I just figured I'd give up on Q Eats. So I guess my figure of speech was wrong. I've been bitten twice and I really can't be bothered with it again. |

I'm trying it this weekend so will report back.
|
I've tried it once (WP flying J) and it is was completely ignored, when that happens on the first attempt there is a creates a significant 'why bother' attitude.
|
We used it on a flight this weekend. Made our orders 4 days in advance. I changed my mind and selected a different small and large plate around 3 days in advance.
Rather than the J FA who were serving us the galley FA come up, introduced herself and confirmed our choices prior to the other FAs taking the other pax's orders. They only had our initial orders, no record of the change, however she was able to change them without any issue. As I expected, I told my partner not to order the cheese plate as a small plate as it was almost always offered as a dessert. So just beware you may be forgoing a small plate if you choose this. |
Sounds good but it would have to be a logistics nightmare for the FAs. Last time I used Q eat (Y+ QF63) there appeared to be no mention of what I'd ordered although I think I managed to request what I wanted anyway.

Finnair has a similar system and it worked beautifully for me. When the FAs were taking orders they said each time "you've ordered (whatever)" and they got it right each time. Admittedly my Finnair sample is smaller than my Qantas one, but I'll be pre-ordering with AY on my next trip. |

I'm not sure, but why would it be a risk? If it worked, great, you'd get what you wanted. If it didn't you'd be in the same position as if Q Eat didn't exist, ie getting your choice of what's available.
Choice of what's available? I don't think their marketing team would go for your idea of calling it Q Leftovers. |

Or as in my case sit there with a lettuce leaf and a bread roll while the FAs studiously ignore you for the entrée, then give you something that you don't want and can't eat for your main.
