Qantas Launches New Economy Class Menu on Domestic Flights

Qantas is rolling out its first new domestic Economy menu since on board catering was simplified as a result of the global COVID19 pandemic.

The menu caters to several dietary requirements and includes a vegetarian option for all meals.

With many customers travelling frequently across the Qantas domestic network, the menu will be served in multiple weekly cycles out of major Australian ports.

There are six variations of the menu for each service time – breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and supper – giving customers more variety when they fly regularly.

“Qantas is continuing to invest in product and service as we work to get back to our best. We have been progressively returning normal service levels and last month we fast tracked the return of vegetarian options on all flights,” said Qantas Executive Manager of Product and Service, Phil Capps. “We started work on the new menu several months ago and have put a lot of effort into creating variety, drawing on premium ingredients from a wide range of local producers. We are proud to promote not just great Australian produce but also some terrific Australian small businesses like The Handmade Food Company based in Caboolture and Springhill Farm from Ballarat.”

Bolognese calzone, chicken and potato Mediterranean croquettes, and zucchini and caramelised onion frittata are some of the new items on offer and complimentary wine and beer will continue to be available on select domestic flights from 4pm every day; on flights over three-and-a-half hours it’s available from 9am.

Highlights of the new Qantas Domestic Economy menu include:

• - Breakfast packs with yoghurt, banana, honey and macadamia bread and sliced apples;
• - Ham and egg hollandaise ciabatta;
• - Spinach and ricotta wrap;
• - Roast chicken and chive on light rye sandwich;
• - Zucchini and corn fritters;
• - Gluten free and plant based chocolate caramel slice; and
• - Pear and ginger cake.

In addition to the complimentary food and drinks, Qantas also offers baggage and onboard WiFi on its domestic Boeing 737s and Airbus A330s in Economy Class.
