Middle seat (5E) has been blocked so myself and other gold QFF flying partner can enjoy additional room. A lovely start!

I have opted for a Kosher meal again on this flight and prior to take-off the meal tray is brought to me to break the seal which is a requirement for religious purposes.

Wow! One of the best economy meals I have ever had. Delicious. A large piece of salmon with olives and rice, FRESH bread (I guess Passover has finished), fruit salad, moist coconut macaroons, and pretzel sticks. I was a bit naughty and washed this down with a Cab-Merlot (non-Kosher).

‘Argo’ and ‘Hitchcock’ made the flight quick and seamless. And the wonderful attendants made it a pleasure.

Well done, Qantas!
