Your Sleeper Seat
On selected aircraft you can relax in your full
length First Class sleeper seat. Or, if travelling with a companion you
may choose to share a quiet space in one of our three pairs of side by
side sleeper seats.
Make yourself more comfortable than you have ever
been on an aircraft before. Use the controls at the end of your armrest to
move with fingertip ease through a wide range of choices - from a relaxed
reading position, to completely reclined on your 198cm (6'6") long
bed. Then pull up your blanket and enjoy the best flights sleep you have
ever had.
You will receive a complimentary First Class
sleeper suit to maximise your comfort and reduce the crush on your clothes.
And, even in a sleeping position, there is plenty of room between you and
your neighbours.
Note: The enhancements outlined above are part
of a two year refit of the Qantas International Fleet commencing in June
1998. Until the programme is complete, not all aircraft will provide the
product features detailed. Also, on some international sectors, Qantas may
operate domestic aircraft which do not provide the product features
detailed above.
Inflight
Cuisine
Enjoy a new level of dining not previously
experienced inflight. The kind you would expect to find in a five-star
restaurant.
Breakfast, lunch or dinner will be prepared and
served by your flight attendant. He or she has been trained in the new art
of inflight cuisine created by leading Australian restaurateur and chef,
Neil Perry.
Guided by Neil's philosophy that the cornerstone
of good eating is quality produce, we have formed a global network of
specialist suppliers - so you can enjoy the best of regional and seasonal
ingredients.
Every meal in our new First Class will have a
distinctive Australian style that may also reflect the diversity and
flavours of the countries we fly to.
You will notice there are no trolleys in our new
First Class cabins. Your meal will be served individually, straight from
the galley.
We open the bar prior to take off so you may
choose the drink of your choice - be it Krug Grand Cuvee Champagne, beer
or juice. Once in the air, choose from top quality spirits, international
beers, Australian vintage wines from South Australia's Coonawarra, Clare
and Barossa regions, Victoria's Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula,
Margaret River in Western Australia and the Hunter Valley in New South
Wales. We also offer after dinner ports and liqueurs.
You will certainly appreciate the wide selection
of fine Australian and regional wines chosen by a panel of experts
including connoisseur, Len Evans. Your flight attendant can advise you on
the most suitable beverage for your chosen meal.
At dinner you can feast on the finest freshly
prepared cuisine. Canapes are served prior to the meal service followed by
a choice of two entrees such as Tomato and Bread Soup or a tantalising
selection of Antipasto.
For your main course we offer a choice of four
superb dishes. For example, you may request Swordfish Steak with stewed
capsicum, pink eye potatoes and aioli, Roasted Chicken with oven dried
tomatoes and red wine sauce, Fillet of Beef with mushroom sauce, asparagus
and potato gratin or Cannelloni of Ricotta and Spinach with walnut sauce
and red capsicum oil. A fresh green leaf salad with palm sugar vinaigrette
is served as a palate cleanser.
Selected cheeses will be served, perfectly ripe -
just as they are in the world's best restaurants. And of course there is
always room for dessert, especially when it is our Pecan Pie with vanilla
bean ice cream or the Heavenly Bread and Butter Pudding with custard sauce.
You may also request a made to order snack, such
as a Steak Sandwich with Tomato and Chilli Relish, Penne with Goat Cheese,
warm Almond and Carrot Cake or some fresh fruit at any time. Or ask for a
fine vintage wine, or a freshly brewed cup of tea or coffee from our
inflight espresso machine, whenever you feel like it.
