But we need to do our time in Economy (short haul) to get enough points to upgrade. Lara's credit card is linked to Emirates so as we've been burning through hotels and crazy-priced restaurants, we've also been racking up points. The food from Melbourne was enough to prompt me to write – I guess when it's good some of the time, you wonder why it can't be good all of the time... Hi Jen,

The one time I flew Business was in 1995 with Cathay Pacific from Manila-Vancouver-Toronto. I do remember having above-average meals being served throughout the 20-hour flight. But nothing as spectacular as the ones you mentioned above. I guess, these days, the airlines realize that it's good business to serve good food. How it's executed is another issue. I, generally, have better food experiences with Asian airlines. Forget US or Canadian airlines! Their version of "gourmet" is salad and a panini. Yipes!
