Cityflyer & Dinner
My first business trip is finally on the horizon and I will be heading down to Melbourne in a couple of weeks. Currently booked on QF487 (SYD-MEL) and was wondering if there was dinner served on this flight?
On the way back, QF742 (MEL-CBR) is technically a Cityflyer but I am guessing that it will be a 'snack' but the booze should be on tap.

QF 487 departs at 8PM, at the very end of the dinner window. One can't help but wonder if the airline would pull a shifty?
I would want to be prepared, though SYD T3 doesn't have that much in the way of great food.

With a departure time of 20:00, you will be served a dinner. As Dave Noble mentioned earlier, the dinner window is from 18:00-20:00 (confirmed by the numerous posters plastered on the airbridge at SYD and MEL). As for QF 724, you will be served a 'refreshment' along with complimentary booze.
Unfortunately, your whinge did not cause any changes, Dave. The reason I said this is that last time I travelled on QF 635 in 2004 (the 17:50 dep from BNE to MEL), I was served a hot dinner, so I guess the strict dinner times are only for shorter sectors like MEL-SYD. SYD-BNE, ADL-MEL, with more flexibility for longer flights.

Breakfast or refreshment?
Diverging slightly OT, I'm travelling QF953 BNE-CBR on Saturday, with 0835 departure. It is showing as "Refreshment" service, but shouldn't this be a breakfast flight? I'm sure I have had breakfast before in J, but this time am travelling in Y. Has anyone taken this flight recently?

According to the posters that I saw on the airbridge while I was boarding my flight on Saturday, breakfast is available in Y from 06:00 to 08:30, which is unlucky for mattm199 since his flight missed the meal window by 5 mins.
