Qantas trolleys are locked and loaded with the latest autumn menu enhancements across all international cabins, including an expanded international Economy inflight service with an additional side to accompany the main meal.

The beefed-up international Economy meal will now feature an extra side, such as Australian cheese and crackers, generous dessert portion or a fresh garden salad, served on a 30 per cent larger underplate to cater for the additional dish.

Qantas has also refreshed its First and Business Lounge menu with seasonal offerings, including a new autumnal cocktail – The Continental, created with Croissant Gin by Lune and Four Pillars (First Lounges only), plus Rhubarb Spritz and Plum On Sour cocktails.

The new, hearty seasonal menu in premium cabins and lounges features chermoula-crusted Margra lamb cutlets, red wine-braised Wollemi duck, seared Humpty Doo barramundi and a salted caramel macadamia tart.

The Qantas Avro Gin spritz will be available in international Economy and Premium Economy cabins along with 45 new cocktails in cabins and global lounges from March 2025, including 15 new non-alcoholic options.

Qantas Chief Customer & Digital Officer Catriona Larritt said the airline’s multi-million-dollar investment in the customer experience included more inflight dining options.

“This is a significant investment we are making in our international Economy service. We’ve worked with our customers and our crew to get their feedback to develop this new service, which offers a wider range of dishes and sides to create a more generous dining experience,” she said.

“We know how much our customers love dining when they fly and that’s why we continuously invest in our menus each season.
