Slow food and Slow drinks

This has been discussed previously about reductions in QP staff to the extent of not opening the QP bar until 2pm. It grates that I'm unable to enjoy a glass or two with my sumptuous QP salad meal now as my two major CNS & TSV flights depart at 2pm.

However in the CNS QP last week I noticed that the usual hot snacks(?) did not eventuate before my departure at 5pm. Is this connected with the reduction of QP services? Does BNE QP still get the hot food scrums? I'll report on TSV QP (my current favorite) later this week.

Most QP's I have been in open the bar at 12. It used to be 1pm but it changed a while ago.

Hi Batesy, it has been reported in other threads that some QP's (like CNS) are not opening the bar now until 2pm... I believe this is a change done in the last month or so.

When I was passing through Brisbane last time the attendant at the bar advised the Bailey's was being removed from the spirits menu . Needless to say I've been in tears since... it's be interesting to see what the reduced bar menu is like this week. The (DJ) Lounge is starting to look more and more appealing by the month.

That's a bit upsetting. I love having a baileys on the rocks before an evening flight, helps get me to sleep.

Last Wednesday the Perth QC bar did not open until 2pm.

Today I noticed the Sydney QC bar did not open until until 2pm

Another cost cutting excercise by Mr Joyce?

BNE Biz Lounge food comes out at about 5.05, just after boarding of the 5.15 BNE-SYD (Snack flight). Reaaly bad during summer when that snack flight doesnt land till 7.45 SYD time

By the time I get into the BNE lounge (6:00) its all gone . Plenty of rabbit food for the next hour though!

I just got the same news in the Syd QP - "Sorry Sir, we don't stock Baileys anymore".

I honestly think this just made my decision on paying for the QP. (Yep, it was that borderline! It was more of a luxury than than intelligent decision based on the amount i'd use it)

Ahh well.

Yeah... 2pm at Syd QP is annoying... If you are on a 1pm flight and want a drink with lunch that should not be too much to expect...

and what is with the horrid bubbly they have there now... Sparkling Sav Blanc?? Yeach!
