Yes. They are a nice way to refresh upon waking up on an overnight longhaul flight.

What a great thread! I'll be flying ANZ business from MEL to AKL then to SFO on May 5th, and I'm enjoying reading about the food and wines. Keep the reports coming, and I'll add to it in May.

KiwiFlyer please accept my apologies........most remiss of me and our resident wine 'consultant' (I use that term loosely) MadAtta will kill me.

I will provide full wine details when I fly NZ6 in two weeks.

Yes the Smoothies are very nice.

Agree--the tuna was flavourless and the fennel was tough.

Main Course

[I]Grilled NZ beef fillett on roasted winter vegestables, golden kumara with carrott with spicy paprika butter.
I had this--small portion of beef, not much taste, overcooked.

Dessert
Gourmet ice cream of black currant and blackberry, and lemon meringue ice cream.
Tasty dessert.


I might have kept the wine list--will check.

Unless it has changed recently there is no wine list. Only the wine guide (thick booklet which lists many more wines than are loaded on any given flight).

The biscuit removal is supposed to be today or tomorrow IIRC.

Note Q300 and S340 flights will still have them (pre-packed inside the cup), at least for now.

IMHO, the Sunny Backyard is borderline undrinkable (and I drink anything with alcohol in it), with the Pacific Princess somewhat passable.
I had 5 or 6 of these Sunny Backyard cocktails. I loved them... even more when I told them to increase the vodka and decrease the wine content. FA was more than once apologetic that the clowdy apple-juice has not been loaded.
