Qantas First Class Breakfast: Then And Now

By Leila

I shared some highlights from my Qantas flight from Sydney to Los Angeles flight (full review here), but I thought it would be fun here to compare my first Qantas First Class breakfast from 2015 with the breakfast I just enjoyed.

The Dependable Qantas First Class Breakfast

In 2015,  I flew from Sydney (SYD) to London (LHR) on Qantas via Dubai (DXB) on QF001. The London-Sydney flight now goes through Singapore (SIN) as it did for many years prior, but there was a brief period after Emirates and Qantas partnered up that the flagship route went through Dubai.

Anyway, breakfast was served on the Dubai – London flight sector prior to landing.

I ordered:

  • Fresh fruit
  • Cappuccino
  • Fruit smoothie
  • Bircher müsli
  • French Toast with poached apples and ricotta cheese

a plate of fruit on a table

a cup of coffee and a glass of milk

a bowl of cereal and milk with a spoon

a plate of food and a cup of coffee

a plate of french toast and sliced apples

Everything was wonderful.

Eight years later, I enjoyed another first class breakfast flying from Sydney to Los Angeles (LAX). I ordered:

  • Fresh fruit
  • Flat white
  • Cold pressed Valencia orange juice
  • Cold pressed Pink Lady app juice
  • Urban Remedy cold pressed green juice with cucumber, apple, pineapple, pear,
    celery, kale, and lemon
    • Side note: Urban Remedy is one of my favorite juice brands and I was tickled to see it on Qantas
  • Bircher müsli
  • Avocado on toast with goat’s cheese, spiced finger lime and almond salsa
  • Egg white omelette with ricotta

a bowl of fruit and a cup of coffee

a cup of coffee with a heart shaped foam

a bowl of cereal and two glasses of orange juice

a plate of food and a cup of coffee

a plate of food and a drink

a glass of liquid on a table
Apple juice, not wine.

Seems my appetite has grown in the last eight years…

While service may be hit or miss, you can always count on a good meal in Qantas First Class. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I appreciated the fresh juices, great coffee, and nice selection of entrees available on both flights.
