It’s no secret Qantas has some of the best in-flight food out there. Thanks to a long running partnership with Neil Perry and his Rockpool team, the Australian national carrier has gained a reputation as one of the tastiest airlines to fly with — no matter your class of travel. 

Now, the Qantas spring menu for 2019 has arrived, and with it some seriously impressive ingredients. Taking inspiration from some of Australia’s greatest native ingredients, Rockpool chefs drew on the country’s own produce to inspire some of the newer dishes. 

Among them, a tasty cheese board for first class passengers, complete with Woodside goat’s cheese dressed with native green ants. Adding a punch of citrus (for the unacquainted, green ants taste sort of like limes, but with legs), the crushed ants are sprinkled over a roll of local chèvre and served with a tomato chutney, house-pickled vegetables and prosciutto. Flavours of the earth, eaten in the sky. 

For passengers in economy, spring means a fresh new salad. Available now, a new black bean, smoked salmon and edamame salad will be an option for economy customers, complete with zucchini noodles and dressed with a zesty, light sauce. Seriously tasty without compromising on health, the salad is all part of the airline’s commitment to serving fresh, non-processed foods on board long-haul flights in order to help with jet lag. 

For economy and premium economy customers, the new spring menu also includes a carrot crudite and beetroot hummus duo, complete with fresh carrot sticks and a tasty beetroot dip. 

The updated menu will be available all throughout spring on Qantas’s international flights.
